Hi guys.
I use my headphones pretty much all the time, as I like the sound from them (I actually prefer it even over my logitech z-5500) surround sound lol.
(I know Im mad, but I have always liked headphones)
Anyway, I have just been using my Sennheiser PC1XXX whatever the model number is (cost me around £40 with built in mic)
I just have them plugged into the side of my hdtv (Sony KDFE50A12) but now they are being a bit flakey as the sound keeps disappearing in the right ear. It is either a twisted\broken cable, or the volume control bit half way down the lead causing the problem.
I suspect the latter, because if I squeeze the volume control wheel into the socket really hard, the sound comes back how it should.
So, maybe time to retire these?
What headphones are there (ear warmer style) i like the padded ones that cover your ears, possibly sticking with sennheiser, but are there any with proper TANGLE free thicker chords, or even better, fully replacable chords.
I am sick of the mega thin cables and tacky control boxes breaking.
Ideally I want a pair that will LAST, and I can add a new cable to if\when needed.
Thanks guys
