| Recommend Some Good Headphones
I have been looking at headphones on Amazon for a long time.
Whenever I look at the one-star reviews, no matter what brand or price the headphones are, there's likely one or two people reporting that the device breaks physically or stop working after a short period of time.
Anyways, recommend me some good headphones that doesn't quit after a few weeks.
Thanks.

I been using this headphone for a couple years. Great audio the only complain I have is that after several hours of use it starts to hurt.

i picked up a Beyerdynamic DT-990 PRO during boxing day for cheap
the headphones will require an amp/dac to really open up
im pairing it up with a xduoo ta-02 tube amp with mullards tube
loving this setup since the tube amp helps balance out the coldness of the dt990
if i were to upgrade - probably go for sennheiser hd800 next

Got a budget? Have a look through this thread: http://www.revscene.net/forums/68872...ght=headphones
Lots of discussions on popular headphones, and related equipment.

Thanks. | if you look at any product there's gonna be some negative reviews. if you're that concerned then stick to a company who is well known for customer service.

Depends on what you want.
I have the Bose QC25's, and they are amazing. I travel alot, and it always blows my mind when I turn them on, and the noise cancellation makes the world go silent.
For budget headphones, I've ended up buying several of these for myself and friends/family as gifts: http://www.amazon.com/SoundPEATS-Blu...headphones+qy8
I have one pair in my gym bag, and one I carry around for listening/conference calls.
Bluetooth, sound is great, battery lasts long, "hook in" style so you can work out with them and not worry about them popping out of your ear. For the price, I was blown away and they've withstood so far 9-10 months of consistent use with no issues.

Dont know if you were looking for IEM's or closed or open headphones.
Currently on my mobile setup is either my shure 215 (1 dynamic) and the EASY UE IEM (1 dynamic, 1 balance armature). The latter was purchased with the reviews and comments from this thread: Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (Headphones, IEMs, Amps, DACs) - Page 1713
For less than $50 shipped, you get the same drivers as found in 200+ dollar branded headphones. Quality is quite good, just the packaging was subpar but that was really the least of my priorities.
The hybrid setup has been great so far as the BA really brings out the high's when compared to the Shure 215. That being said, my shure 215's have been in my pack for over 5 years and still going strong.

Wow, I've got through like 4 pairs of shure 215's in like 6 years, usage was three times a day for transit, and gym. They keep cutting out on my on one side because of the bud/cable cable connector design is poor.
I've since switched to Kilspch R4i's, 6 months no issues. Bass is boomy though. There's tons of bass.
