Hello Synthzoners,

Age, as well as my wife's nephews have finally destroyed my headphones, some Philips SBC-600 or something I got cheap on a sale.

I read a previous thread by Diki who swears by his Sony 7506 ones and an even earlier thread where George Kaye said that the Behringer 5000 were very good value for their money.

The prices I find are about 35-50 Euros for the Behringer (price is OK) and about 120-140 Euros for the Sony (absolutely top price for me). Sony also has a 7509 model at about 200 Euros (out of price range).

I need something that can last me some years and have a decent sound quality.

Any other recommendations or confirmations on the above?

The headphones are going to be used in conjuction with an old Sansui AU D33 hi-fi amplifier.

Diki,
I see that the Sony has a spiral cord. Is the cord long enough for every day use at about 1 meter (3-4 feet) away, or is the spiral going to pull my head like a leash?

George,
is the Behringer still recommended?

Thank you all.
