Lasted four months
I bought these for my wife, who lost her previous pair of headphones.
I've been quite happy with the quality of Behringer products since my MX2804 mixer and lately my Poly D. But these headphones leaves quite a lot to wish for regarding quality.
The piece that broke was the swivel between one of the cups and the headband. Looking at the design, I'm just flabbergasted. I think the axle in the coupling is less than 3 mm and made of plastic. On top of that, it's hollow to make the cable pass though it. How the designers got an idea of this being something that is supposed to last is beyond me.
I'm not bothered about returning it, since the replacement is going to have the exact same problem, unless someone has made a radical redesign of the hinge. I've glued the whole swivel together, so now it
can't rotate, but it has got at least 4 times extra contact surface.
Apart from that, the artificial leather coating of the headband is peeling of like 3 day old sunburn. Doesn't look pretty, but at least it doesn't affect the functionality.
No. I don't recommend these headphones. They are supposed to be carried around, folded, put in women's handbags and whatnot. So they need to be able to survive such an environment. Sure, they are cheap, but so have lots of other Behringer gear that has a lot more quality going for it.
Disappointed!
