are the wires tangle free? the cables are flat cable or rounded one? I had Sennheisser HD 202 and one side stopped working..! need durability info?

They don't tangle as much as u would think for a rounded cord. I keep my cord wrapped around the earphones when I don't use them and I have had no issues with shorts or unwrapping the cord.

It appears to be the same. Here's a better look at the locking mechanism on the Sennheiser cable http://www.trustedreviews.com/sennheiser-hd-558_Headphones_photos_5 it appears to be the same, I think you'd be safe.

According to Sennheiser's website, they're 260g, which is the same as Beats Studio headphones. These headphones were designed for listening at home, not for portability, so they're not especially light.If that weight is uncomfortable for you, you might want to consider lightweight headphones like the Bowers & Wilkins P3 or Bose QC15. Of course, the audio quality isn't the same. Or consider the Beyerdynamic T70p, which is actually a bit heavier than the HD 650 but has a more modern design that distributes the weight comfortably around the ears. I can listen to those Beyerdynamics all day. According to Sennheiser's website, they're 260g, which is the same as Beats Studio headphones.

I have never had that problem yet so can't really say. Have you tried different headphones with the same issue? If the other headphones work then it would the connector on you the headphone that doesn't that is the problem, probably a loose wire connection. I use mines with several different headphones and have yet to have an issue with it. And I do use it at least a couple of hours every day.

The really good thing about these new SoundTrues is the detachable cable. In the past, if you broke your cable, you had to either buy a new set of headphones, or send them in to get them repaired. No more. You can just order another cable, though it is expensive at $30. My advice would be to just be careful. If you don't need the full 66" length of the cable, wrap it with a twist-tie to keep from tangling or getting caught on something.

I can't say for sure if there is an actual definition of 'tangle-free' but I've never had a problem with the cord. But then again, I'm fairly careful with how I store my headphones. They're much better than the apple headphones I used to have.Sorry I can't be much more specific.

I had them for few months, then something went loose in the right earpiece. Now I have crackling noises all the time.Oh, and I lost the music cable. I had to prepay for a new one (approximately 60 USD), then it took the full six months until I got a new one. And what is a headphone without music!?

I have 2 Sennheiser products, HD439 (2 month) CX275 (1 year), In general, German projects are more reliable. Shure (USA) is pretty reliable, too.

I'm not sure exactly but I'll find out. Rochelle I'm sorry to hear they were broken the moment you got them, but it sounds like a delivery problem not the item. I recieved these items about a year ago and they still work perfectly fine. I actually prefer these over turtle beaches'cause of less wiring and less strain on the ear and neck from the weight.

hi, I'm having the same problem for my HD 280 pro too, wondering if you were able to purchase the XL for your sennheiser HD 280 pro? should i settle for the Large one or better if i get the XL?

Mine actually went away with time. You can try detaching the cable and wiping down the gold connector with a cloth to get rid of any dust that might be trapped there. Search the UE900 appreciation thread on head-fi.org for other suggestions. If they don't work, send it back to the seller if within the return period, or back to logitech if out of return period.

The connection to the headphones is proprietary (round male plug) and the other end is usb. Hope this helps.

As phrased your question could be interpreted two ways so I'm going to be nitpicky. The metal portion of the headphone connector is straight BUT the plastic portion that the metal pin is mounted in is at a 90° angle to the pin. I think this means that these headphones are not for you.

I've never had an issue with the cable tangling and I wear these everyday. As for an alternative in case you're not happy, as long as you get the correct jack (standard) it will fit and work. I used to use my old beats cable with these.

Can't say if there is any loss but the unit ships with two sets of cables the long ones which I switched out for the shorter ones. I really did not have a problem with the cables but the earbuds to some time to get use too because they are sort of heavy. After a while they become a little uncomfortable. I never really keep them in that long though. I hope this helps you out

I ordered mine on July 14, 2014, and as of about a week ago (less than three months after my initial purchase) I have lost audio in one ear bud. The cause seems to be a loose connection close to the base of the zipper, at the joint. I can twist and contort the cable to get a brief moment of sound but unless I hold it in place, inevitably the connection breaks and I lose sound again. With anything, there will be imperfections so maybe I just got a bad one in the batch, but $10 for each month these ear buds worked properly seems very expensive.

I've had mine for about two years...maybe longer and mine never unstiffened. I love them to death, but the cables are horrible. Note : they still work
