I know the Sony XM5s are getting a ton of hype right now, but after my M4s just bricked after barely 4 months i've decided i aint buyin shit until its been out for at least a few years so i can see how they hold up

    Been rocking a second hand pair of Fostex TH-X00's for about 5 years that I really enjoy. Dropped them a fair bit and finally had to replace part of the hanger for an earcup and solder in a replacement driver. Relatively cheap and all easily DIY-able. No reason I don't see myself keeping these another decade, came from AKG-K701s that produced great sound and an expansive stage but they were pretty uncomfortable due to the headband
