I use a pair of TMA-2; I got them a few years ago. They are still going strong, despite needing a new headband and they do need new earpads as well. But as they are modular, so I don't need to buy a new pair of headphones.
Unlike my friend's Sennheiser HD 598's, haha.

Have a few year old pair of Sennheiser HD 598 CS headphones that I love that are unfortunately on the way out (due to years of daily use and commuting). Fantastic headphones though, the first time I've never wanted to upgrade.

My TMA-2 is the best pair of headphone I have ever had.

Oi, it's the cable port that's gone which would make yours need a replacement too.

Only the speaker units would need replacing. which will cost £88($111, €100).haha.

I bought my entire pair of headphones on sale for £80 down from £199, so shush.

Not gonna take the bait (especially given my post on elitism), but Sennheiser are pretty much the industry standard so 🤷‍♂. Now get back to working on our website! Hahaha.

I've actually heard great things about these headphones! On top of that it is one of the best audio brands in my opinion because they always create some top notch headphones and products! May have to look into buying these in the future ;)

I would say Look at these as a long-term purchase. Although modular it can be price to replace parts.
