Whoa, we're on different sides of the coin. I don't like Beyerdynamic headphones. They're comfortable, yes. Probably the most comfortable out there. But I'm not a fan of the sound. That said I only have experience with the DT770s and DT990s which were the ones recommended to me. I bought them and later donated them. I did find they were fine for studio monitoring though. I'd for sure classify Beyerdynamics as a durable headphone though.
