ive have the hd 280 pro for what seem to be 4 year , they still sound great , no loose rattle typical in old use speaker component . however the plastic and leather material be start to peel and deteriorate similar to a old car center console , other then that they work well . I write this because I be scared they will melt into goop and ruin my hair cut tho . I would buy again just keep in mind you wont be able to write they in you will or anything like that .
