I may get the ire of some for this but don't buy Sony headphones. Sony has a lot of good products, but their headphones are overpriced garbage. It may be very subjective, but never once have I listened to Sony and thought I like the music out of them. In the cheap range they're outclassed by Philips, in a bit pricier by Sennheiser and JBL. I've had my JBL Live 770 for over 2 years now, and I only need to get replacement pads, same with my 6 year old pair of Sennheiser 4.40HD. Also metal hinges.

    Sony used to make some really awesome high end headphones (like the Qualia 010 MDR-1 or MDR-R10), while were definitely overpriced (IMO), they were definitely not garbage. They do still make at least one actual high end non-garbage headphone (MDR-Z1R) it is for sure overpriced. I don't think it's garbage.

    Also, few sane people are buying them, so I doubt they'll last.
