So almost 2 years ago I asked about upgrading my plantronics backbeat pro 2’s and people suggested I hold them until the wheels fall off

Well, now the wheels are falling off. Headband is coming apart.

What would be a modern day upgrade you’d recommend?

Based on what I’ve seen… It would seem the momentum 4 (I’ve seen them regularly under 200 usd new on reseller sites) or momentum 5 from sennheiser would be a good choice but curious to know if this community has a different or better recommendation.

    I had a pair of Beyerdynamic DT231 in the late 90s, my first decent sounding headphones.

    So I looked up last year what is their best, reasonable price, current model:

    Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 80 Ohm

    –

    Own an ATH-M50 too, solid sound, no issues.

      I have a pair of DT-770 Pro 80s that are 20 years old and still rocking. I just had to replace a few mounting pieces a couple of times for a few bucks and get a new pads every several years.
