thats the reason why i went to the seinheiser they don't break, and the noise cancelling is the best i have had
soren they cost be 200 nz (160) aussie
i did alot of research myself on a limited budget and they were the best
don't go sony or pioneer as they break real fast, as well as some of the others can have same prob, or be way uncofortable, or lack of superior sound
i think the people who dj on this forum, are the ones i would go by, as they are tested in extreme conditions ie time and durability and finite sound
