I have had the Denon AH-D 1100 for the past two years. I absolutely loved the sound quality and comfort of these headphones, but found the durability lacking for a portable headphone. I am looking for a good replacement in the $100-$250 range.
The cord was really sticky and seemed to catch on everything, so it got yanked a lot. 5 months after I had them the left ear sound went at the jack. Had them replaced on warranty and they broke again the same way after another 5 months. Second warranty replacement, 5 months later same thing! I just had a new jack put on because the warranty was done. After that the brittle plastic connecting the cans to headband broke, but I rigged up a fix. Now the right headphone just suddenly stopped working and I can't find any position in the cord where it lost a connection. I will probably take them apart and replace the cord sometime, but want a new pair for obvious reasons.
I listen to a lot of different genres: Classic Rock, Electronic, Classical, Jazz. I found the Denons to be great for a wide range of music, they had nice bass and well defined highs and mids, so want something similar.
I was looking at the AIAIAI TMA-1s on the recommendation of some friends. They seem to be well known for both good sound quality and durability. The only downside for me is they are on-ear rather than over ear, but that is a minor issue.
Can anyone compare the sound between the TMA-1s and AH-D 1100?
Does anyone have a recommendation of a durable headphone with similar sound and comfort?
Thanks for your help!
