Are you going to break your HD25's or TMA's?

same here, 4 years old hd25, every once in awhile it needs a little wiggle on the sides to get the sound back full on, otherwise the sound only on one side

nothing major but yeah quite a common problem with aging hd25's

just replaced the pads with velour ones and i wish i had gotten the leather ones instead, velour -> more long lasting but not as comfy as leather

the only headphones i've seen able to handle that stress is the hd25s and hdj2000s

sh*t! that's scary.

I know what my next pair is going to be.

How are they for general listening?

Also had the same problem. Got DV247 to send out a new cable. Problem happened again not long after.

Cable quality really is pretty naff. Wouldn't mind terminating my own.

So even Spongebob could wear them?

I really think the TMA's would do the same since they look to be made of a similar material. Plus they're advertised as flexible. Anybody have a set?

I don't think you can do that with the TMA's. Even if the TMA's didn't snap I suspect that the headband would split as it is two pieces glued together.

For me the TMA's would be better at being dropped.

This is my experience with the TMA's.

The TMA's can bend like that, I just tried it. I have a pair that were chewed on by my dog, so I was/am not afraid of fucking with them (the wires got chewed as well >.<), but they still bend back.

They are definitely headphones I'd buy again. Don't have the funds for it at the moment however, so thinking about trying to do a telephone monitor mod with what I have left over from the TMA's.

But yeah. Visual representation. I was trying to figure out how to take a picture of it and figured this was the easiest way. Enjoy my mugshots :P
