I had a pair of these when I was growing up that I used as my go to for practicing along with my drums. I wore those almost daily for 10+ years and eventually they just coulnd't take anymore. I have tried to replace them with other brands and simply have never found a pair that I loved as much. I just bought the 770 pro 250 Ohm, and they will be my go to as a recording artist and producer for the foreseeable future. They may be a little bass/treble heavy, but they still sound clear and mostly balanced. They are very very very very comfortable for long durations of use.
