[QUOTE="AngerManagement, post: 241413, member: 3760"] Regardless of Brand; most are not rated for the UV we get here in Australia. Many are just indoor Audio Models that have found a nich in the Detecting field Specials will and do have different cords, but even the outdoor ones are not that great. I have 2 KOSS on my bench for repair.. One for new PADS and the other had it curly totally fall apart. A: New Curley cord (NOT Heavy duty) and Right Angle plug is the usual work I do on them.. But no $ in it. Curly Cord and new Plug is 30% of the cost of a new one. Then add in time AND Postage and maybe new ear pads... = Get a NEW set. SAD but true. Even the GG and others at $250 plus can be repaired but it is the Parts and postage and then TIME . And many do not want to pay for that... Most people today want quick and cheep and Fail to understand the costs involved for any repair or modification. Those of us from the old school understand and I have had people pay me for a repair and parts and postage and they could have got a new pair... But they liked the old ones - worn in and maybe LUCKY ones.. [/QUOTE]
