I hope this is not considered "Off Topic". I need to buy a few more headphones for my home recording studio. I need three in the $30 to $40 price range and one in the $100 to $150 range (suitable for mixing). My main concern is the “peeling” syndrome some of my phones have suffered. I keep getting these little bits of black material stuck around my ears after wearing certain of my phones for a while. I have two pair that do not have this problem. One is an AKG K-55 the other is a Sony MDR CD30. These models use a different type of material on the ear pads that does not peel. They of course would be fine for the lower price range if I can still find them for sale. However, I can’t tell enough from the catalogue or online descriptions to determine if the higher price models have the “peeling” type covering on the ear pads. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Deaton
