Anyways, I replaced them with a pair of AKG K701s, which are taking their sweet time getting to me. They'll take a while to break in but it'll give me good durability and sound in the end For earphones, I have a pair of cheaper Skullcandy buds that actually output good bass. My headphone amp is a Fender Mustang I, and my regular amp is a Marshall MA100 2x12 combo.

you use your guitar amp as a headphone amp?

Also I have SRH440 and mine seem durable enough.. I wear them outside alot.
being one of the only headphones I don't need amped...
Also I don't think a guitar amp will properly power the K701.
The K701 are considered VERY hard to properly drive..
I have two desktop amps capable of powering up to 600 OHM
Although they say they are only 62 OHMs people say they need
a headphone amp with a minimum of 200 OHMs to power them.
Most Amps that aren't dedicated to be only for headphones
don't have enough OHM's even home theater recievers..
You are probably going to invest in a proper "headphone amp"
to take full advantage of the K701's also K701 are very harsh
with music quality as I run FLAC/ALACs now.. Hopefully you
listen to Classical, Jazz, Blues, acoustics, and female vocals alot as
they sound amazing on these cans. I listen to alot of genres but
the K701 are to harsh with alot of them. That would be the reason
why I have so many headphones.. Rock sounds horrible and so does
bassy songs since the bass in the K701 aren't that great..
