(sorry, i know there are already 1158 topics about headphones - 1159 now... but) i went to the shop today, and since i decided to buy new headphones after all (the wire of my current ones, Koss Porta Pros, would not be long enough for the hi-fi stuff i'll have in my room anyway) - my budget is something around, like, €200... they only had a few at the shop, i could try and it sounded very fine to me but then i went to see reviews on the website of the shop and it was only 5/10 average, two 10/10 reviews with no problem but two other 0/10 ones because there were bad connections or something, i don't know how you say it in english ' _ ' i heard good things about Sennheiser though... the other ones available for around the same price are , couldn't try these ones... i don't know what to do... of course sound quality is the priority but i want solid headphones too, i don't want them to break after 6 months... |

i don't want them to break after 6 months... just so you know, my experience with koss warranty repair has been excellent.. they take about three to four weeks, but you always get a new pair, promptly shipped, no questions asked. at least in canada. |

Holy crap, you have a €200 budget for headphones?! I listen to music through a system of plastic cups connected with waxed string. |

yes, i know Koss warranty ; ) since i use my Porta Pros all the time, i had to get them repaired a few times already... always got the defective thing changed within 2-3 weeks with no problem... |

deepspace9mm > yes, i know, it's a lot ' _ ' my grandmother is being very generous lately. she fears she will die soon (which i hope not), so she gives out a lot of money to her descendants... |

Dang, my nan is doing exactly the same thing lately, she gave me £200 for my 18th birthday yesterday :-O This is the first time in about a million years i've actually had a lot of money, so i'm going to try to buy something USEFUL, like a big load of canvas or something for doing field recordings with (minidisc recorder, condenser mic etc) instead of drinking and smoking all my money away. I just use £30 sony phones btw, and they do me pretty well. A bit muddy on the low frequencies, mind, but i can cope. |

my friend has those Sennheisers... and they are amazing... but they are prone to getting damaged in the cord connections... that said, I have never had a pair of Koss headphones that didn't break often so... i would go with the sennheiser, and just make sure they have a decent warranty... sometimes you can extend warranties for several years by paying a bit extra<-- this is a very good idea as there is no such thing as a pair of headphones that won't break on you... |

From what i've read, sennheiser phones have a VERY good reputation, dunno about particular models though. |

the only bad thing i can find about the koss is that they're apparently quite heavy, and it takes a bit to get adjusted to wearing them. the senns, on the other hand, have a range of complaints, and you're apparently paying a lot of money for the sennheiser name. i'd go for the koss, personally. |

probably the guarantee will make the difference, if i can get extra guarantee for one of the products. the shop made my Porta Pro life-guaranteed, which is very fine. |
