Could someone please recommend some headphones for my 13yo son.
They should have good bass, and above all, be bombproof as he is quite rough on his gear.
Sound quality (outside of bass) is relatively important but comes second to sturdiness, he already broke a few pairs by sitting on them, throwing them in his bag and then books on top, you see the kind.
If they can be good looking it'll only help (now what is good looking for a 13yo is another debate ...)
Price range is about USD 150, but if there is a big jump in robustness I might be fine with forking (reasonably) more cash. He's a great kid, straight A, just that he is tough on his gear, and I am ready to accept this.
I thought maybe some DJ headphones might be better built, but I will revert to the competence of this forum in the matter.
So far, what I came up with are the V-Moda Crossfade M-80 ?
Any other ideas ?
Thank you in advance.
