My $500 ($1200 in NZ stores) headphones can reasonably be expected to last for 10 years if not more if I treat them well. They're portable and for the money you get far more sound than with speakers. That's $50/year and amazing quality.

My last pair of $150 headphones lasted a year and a half before one of the earpieces broke off. That's $100/year. Or twice as expensive as the better quality ones.

Obviously not everyone needs to spend a fortune, just get what your tastes/wallet can handle, but all I'm saying is that an up-front investment can pay off in the long run.

833061 2009-11-24 10:40:00 i get what you mean but i doubt i would keep it for that long~ chuanwai (12518)
833062 2009-11-24 10:44:00 Yowsers, I had some sub $20 headphone / microphone sets which I got from a store in Otara. They lasted me just under four years.

What the hell do you do to them that makes them break?

Got them for gaming and they are great, plus they really push on to your head so outside noise is hard to hear (great for a nag or loud kids :))

833066 2009-11-25 09:40:00 Any recommendations for a cheap yet comfortable headset?

I remember using some at an internet cafe once that would badly squash my ears...

Audio quality doesn't have to be anything special...

They're quality. Mostly made of aluminium and handmade in Austria. I've heard testimonials from lots of owners that they last donkeys years. Plus they sound AMAZING. You've never heard your music until you hear it through these. Or a nice Hi Fi system.
