Very good sounding headphones, but terrible terrible quality. They seem sturdy but they are definitely not ! Stay away

I've been using the original k550s for 11 years now. I wasn't especially careful with them but had no big issues. Of course the pads had to be replaced couple of times and there's a crack on the plastic part of the headband that doesn't really affect anything, otherwise still going strong

Well for me it was just one drop and they are gone. Maybe there was a drop in quality, they are manufactured in china now, maybe your pair was better

There are spare parts available, have you checked if the parts you need is available?
Not sure dropping a pair of fairly heavy cans and then breaking from that rates a "terrible terrible quality" rating. Mine are about 2.5 yrs old and doing fine. Adding thus viewpoint for others who may be researching these....

I never stated that the cans were bad, i'm even planning on buying them again once they go on sale. I dare not speak ill of the dead
