Ok, i'm sick of two things.

#1 Breaking plastic headphones, these things seem to be made out of really junky plastic.

#2 Sweating my ears off with simulated leather or striaght plastic ear covers.

So, i'm after heavy-duty headphones with metal over the head between the cups, and cloth around-the-ear phones.

Sound quality isn't a major concern, i'm young and my hearing is good. Neither is cost, I want something that will last.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I don't think you will find cloth over the earcups as these won't last. Good head phones are ones called Black Widows, Grey Ghosts, Jolly Roger, Killr bees, etc. These all have cups that fit around the ear, not on them.

I know I said "over the ear" what I was meaning was "around the ear" like this ratphone picture:

The problem is the plastic "ring" gets horribly sweaty and uncomfortable for me.

I have some old sony ones with cloth where the cups held up well, but the plastic in the over-the-head-band has broken 3 times.

Yeah, the part that bugs me tho is I have a considerable amount of cash in hand for the right product for my needs, but nobody seems to make that product.

It's the story of my life I swear :tongue3:
