I've bought these in the past 6 months and to be honest I haven't had any problems. Sound great to me. Then again I am no audiophile. Just using them for a simple setup for my record player.

Just for anyone wondering, Dayton had some bad tweeters go out, they've since rectified the issue and if you got a bad batch, contact them directly.

I bought 2 pairs about 4 months ago and run them in a small 5.1 system and couldnt be happier for the price.

I purchased a set recently (June 9th) and you are correct. The quality has gone DOWN. The set I received had one woofer dead. I contemplated returning them, but instead I rebuilt them. I replaced all the drivers with superior units and now they sound great. My advice is don't get these ones if you already have your eyes on different models. These are junk.

I ordered mine in April. The first pair I received, one speaker did not work, but within two days I had another pair at no cost to me and I have enjoyed them immensely since. I use them to TV and music (classical) and haven't heard such sound for a long time, especially at this cost.

Go with the Micca MB42x series and you will be much happier. I got these Dayton's a month or so ago and quality was terrible. Much happier With my Miccas.

Kyle, I have had these headphones only about 3 months. So far they are doing well...seem to be very durable and tough. I'm not rough with them but I have dropped them a couple times but on a carpeted floor. I use mine several time a week but not every day. I use mine for listening to Spotify on my laptop. I am well pleased with them although I haven't had then very long! Very comfortable and sound good considering what my source of music comes from. I hope this helps you. Sorry I haven't had them longer to give you a better answer as to their durability!

Mine have been awesome... sound is incredible. I work out four days a week and no issues so far!

Duh. They are considered the most reliable by far. If the price shoots above $55, I prefer to grab a bundle of TDKs. Just as reliable in my experiences (3k+ games burnt.)

I sold mine before any issues happened. pretty solid amp, pushed the sub i had, got hot quick.. i also had the 4 channel just like this one and it went bad on me. sold the 4 channel for parts and got rid of this one because i wanted matching amps. polk makes some good stuff but these series of amps are always online being sold for parts/ broken and need repair if that tells you anything. for the price look into mb quart.

I've had mine for about 8-9 months and they seem fine. Good as new. The only downside is that I use them day-to-day and not in a studio, so I have to tie up the length of it, but that's not a durability issue. The audio jack has been a little iffy lately, but I'm not sure if that's my phone or the headphones.

Be careful Kenneth. I think Logitech is going under. I have been trying to order new cameras and parts for a long time. I can't get them.

I didn't think they felt cheap at all. I thought they looked and felt like professional quality. I've had mine since June 2014, so about 6 months with no issues. Now granted I've basically plugged them in and left them. They get switched occasionally from game system to game system, but nothing like the wear a DJ would probably put on them so I can't give an informed response if they'd hold up. It seems like they would if they were treated with normal care.

Glad to say that after 2.5 years these things are still good as new. The Onkyo receiver is getting a bit glitchy though. Auto switching between settings for inputs is abrupt and not optimized, so I have to adjust settings more than I'd like. And pass thru doesn't work anymore. I'm not up to speed on specific models these days but I'd start at $500 and go up from there. Harmon Kardon is well respected, I imagine they'll get a hard look next time around. 7.2 should be standard on most units in that range. Also Wi-Fi, etc could be cool. I'm not lacking for good speakers these days, but I would prefer simplicity which my onkyo lacks ($400 in 2009). Start with the negative reviews and go up from there keeping in mind a small allowance for factory defects, and if possible try it in store, or a similar version. Brands normally keep similar interfaces until big money comes into play. But I am still digging these speakers, money well spent. Hope that helps!

It seems they may be phasing out the "PC" line in favor of the G4ME ONEs. This is basically a complete guess, but I think it's a sensible one given how many sites are saying "Out of Stock." Personally, if you're interested in these headphones, I'd quickly check out the white G4ME ONEs for $200 right now.

Hi R. Dma:I don't see your review on these only on the Take Classic. The Micro's are now priced below the Classics. Wondering more in depth why you would recommend the Micro's Please let me know. Thanks!

Well MFin, my replacement set arrived last week and, thus far, it's been absolutely perfect. The crystal clear edges and deep blacks that sold me on this set in the showrooms is now alive and well in my living room. High Def looks absolutely sick. The "buzzing sound" that many owners cite (and admittedly, was very noticeable in my 1st set) is now virtually non-existant. I'm going to chalk my first experience up to a fluke. I hope you end up with a '5084 that meets or exceeds your expectations. I recommend you give it 1 last shot....good luck!

Hi they are great quality just what you would expect from Sony. However, the bass is not as booming as some may like it.

mine have not worked since I got them. Neither Sony nor Amazon was ready to make good on the headphones. I do not recommend them at all..

The same thing happen to me but it happened to one of the two I purchased two years before. I don't think it should have happened but, I got good use out of them before it happened. As a result, I bought two more Sony MDR-RF970RK headsets and they are doing fine now after six months. I may have been rougher than I should have or maybe not. Would I buy the same headsets again. Yes, are better than anything else I have tried and now I am more careful. Should they be replaced, hard to say. I think in the long run the individual is the only one who really know the answer to that.

Honestly, I haven't used them yet (I bought 2). Good to know you have used them at 450. I didn't know they were sold on QVC, just don't have time to watch that channel, but I like the things they sell. Sorry I could not help you. sb

Hi, sorry can't help as I don't have experience with this devices. Anyway you ordered outstanding headphones, top class for sure, I used with a good DAC and a Magny amplifier and really are one of my prefered headphones (well, I keep the 250ohm version as I almost never use portable devices for music). Hope you likes the Beyers. Leo.
