Ok, so i brought some Sennheiser HD 202's a few years back for about $100 and i think they are great. Yesterday the left headphone started cutting out so i guess their day is up. I went to JB-hifi and they are now $50 (bargain?). I was wondering if they are cheaper because there are now new models, or more importantly is it because as with alot of big brands, they are now making them with cheaper parts and they do not sound as good. Or is it worth a few more $ for some Sennheiser HD 448's. ...JB wont take any out of the packet so i can listen, hence the thread. Feedback appreciated!
