Many people use headphones like sneharizer and beyerdynamic for 15 or 20 years. But how long do hifiman headphones last? Can you tell me your experiences?

      Don’t toss them around, don’t push your finger into the diaphragm, don’t drop them, gently put them on and off your head, don’t get them wet, always put them in a place where you know they won’t get bumped or moved around roughly when not in use.

      Other than that, nothing. Just be nice to them. I’ll be real, I don’t think Sennies sound very good, but you can basically play catch with them and they’d probably be fine. Planars aren’t like that.

        Thanks! Luckily I already do all of those things. I also have my cable set up in a way that if it gets snagged it’ll first unplug from either my amp or headphones instead of pulling them off my head. Has saved my Anandas once already.

          Ah, fellow Ananda enjoyer. You’re doing good then, mine have lasted about four years now and still going strong.
