My Citronic Hp400 Headphones Snapped After A Few Months Of Ownership (My Fault For Jumping Like A Looney With Em Round My Neck), So I Opted For The Hp500's due to their advertised durability. very comfortable, solid build no doubt (but still be careful), come with a nice leather carry case that the headphones neatly fold into and excellent sound quality. they're just so fiddly. each earpiece pivots in all directions so that it can fold into carry case, and when you're using them they move all over the place, so the amount of time i wasted trying to get em the right way round during my set was rediculous. i've remedied it by having the headphones wrong way round (left earpiece on right ear) but this increases chance of me breaking them because there's less give. they do the business now, but can't see them lasting long
