minus-squarethelastknowngod@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI bought a pair if Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro headphones at least 15 years ago. I still use them all the time. Just change the ear pads and headband whenever they get gross and they’re just like new again.
minus-squareKrakatoa@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoWow I hope my AKG K7XX can last that long. Mine is going about 7-8 years now. Are the pads on the Beyer removable for cleaning?
minus-squarethelastknowngod@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYou could. I prefer to replace them though. All foam degrades over time so replacements are about more than just being clean. I only really do this every 2-3 years. It’s not exactly expensive. https://www.amazon.com/beyerdynamic-Velour-Silver-Grey-Other-Models/dp/B0016MMYKA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=beyerdynamic+dt770+ear+pads&qid=1695944967&sr=8-3
