New headphones

[FR4NOx]

Helloooo

Well, this even when I was watching a movie my very worn out Bose headphone's wire began breaking even more than they have been for the past year, which means I either have to hold the wire awkwardly to enjoy stereo sound or have to listen with my right ear only...even though I usually only use the left. -.- I just wish it lasted 5 years, instead of 39 months.

I've been looking at getting another set of Bose headphones, mostly because I haven't heard anything better than them (they're just as good as my local cinema's speakers) and my mom told me that they're doing a trade-up program (she works near a Bose outlet). I'm posting here because I'm willing to try another brand and see if there's anything better out there for a reasonable price. I've been seeing people with Sony headphones lately instead of those awful Beats headphones...might have to give those a look.

I would like my next pair to last at least 5 years.

I don't really know what headphone manufacturers are out there, since my Bose ones were a birthday gift.

Considering that my headphones were $140 back in 2008, I'll set my budget at $150-$300.

Brands to avoid: Monster ("Beats by Dr. Dre")

These were used so much that the leatherette wore off. That's the raw padding.


A year ago the wire started coming apart so I patched it up with electrical tape.
