Many people still have their 15 year old HD414's.. > They're built to last When I first moved to California nearly 22 years ago, my first major purchase as soon as I got here was a pair of Sennheiser HD424's. $75 back then I think; hella expensive for a new (and broke) college Freshman. I just used them again last night. (I listen to music at work on them before the supervisors have left and I can crank the Mac speakers (-: Speaking of which, MacAmp 1.0beta1 is out ... ) In all that time, I've replaced the ear pads *once*. The 2nd pair could use another swap-out now, to be honest, but other than that ... nothing else. Nothin' but Sennheisers baby ...
