I don't know how long these will last honestly but I'll definitely know I will be 100% satisfied using them. LoL im no pro but I am picky about certain things. And sound is one of them. I tried the Pioneers and although I liked the sound a lot. It wasn't what I was looking for. I liked the Sony 7506 & 7509. The 7506 weren't bad. Again not what I wanted. The 7509hd were sweet but I didn't like the way they felt on my head. And was an extra $100. |
I get you like them, and that's why you bought them, but something that breaks, and that you know is going to break (not "if") is not worth saving $75 over. Also you realize they were discontinued in 2012 due to Sony not wanting to deal with the thousands of breakages they got?
Each to their own but it just does not make sense to buy something you know is going to break, and very soon. I owned them. I really liked them for DJ'ing but don't be folled in to thinking they're accurate, becuase they're not. Their bass is over pronounced, and they have a serious scoop in the mids.
I suppose I just take a different view. I'd prefer to spend an extra $100 on something that I know is going to last at bare minimum 6-7 years of hardcore absuse, than spend $100 less and get something I know will only last 3 years if I'm *really* careful with them. It's short money and short thinking, and as you already know in the time I've owned one pair of headphones for $200, you're now on pair #4 at a cost of around $600.
Just saying it doesn't make sense.
And sure the headband might be comfy (although the 7506 or 7509 is virtually identical in fit) and you're used to the sound, but we're adpative on that front and we learn to like things, especially when they technically sound better,
All that really counts is that your happy, but I honestly think you walked in to somewhere, saw the shiny shiny and logic went out the window.
The AKG K240 are truly great cans, one of the industry standards, but they are for producing/monitoring - they're semi open back so will be quite useless in a loud/club environment.
