TLDR: Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro broke twice, looking for a similar replacement that is more durable.
Hello, I got a Beyerdynamic 990 back in 2019, and used it until it broke in 2021. The headphone was extremely comfortable and I liked that the coiled wire stretched easily, so I got the DT990 PRO. The PRO is still comfy as hell, and I love it, but there is one component on my headset that keeps breaking. At first, the inside plastic plate (where the screws attach) broke, so I looked online but couldn’t find any replacements. I scavenged the plates from my old 990 and it worked until the outer plate broke, and now the headphone is nigh unusable as it pokes into my head, even though there is nothing wrong with the sound quality. Can someone recommend either a Beyerdynamic or something similar that doesn’t have this vulnerability?
I bought the Sennheiser HD 6XX but I hate it. It’s like putting your head in a vise. People who enjoy the 6XX either have tiny heads, or steel skulls.
they just break again. I agree with op on this. It’s a big weakspot.
