Have you considered the Monolith planars? They come with 5 year warranty, and have a metal headband / yokes. And the padding and cups are actual leather (except for the velour cups, comes with 2 sets)

I have the M1070 and M1570 if you have any questions. And I've dropped mine a few times and nothing broke. :) Just be mindful to get them on sale.

>Planar magnetic headphones are generally more prone to damage from drops and such, than dynamic drivers. This is because the drivers are much thinner than traditional headphones.

I've dropped my M1570 from my desk a few times, and they still work just fine. So, this sounds more like HifiMan rationale than truth.

It's called HRTF or psychoacoustics. Have fun Googling

Meaning that both are overpriced.
