And they do sound amazingly good. :( Maybe there's a way to secure them so they don't break. You could always rewire them.

If I had so much money to spare on headphones, Grado was also high on my wishlist. But after what happened to you, no thanks. I'm also looking at some higher-end Sennheiser or AKG. Ouch.

Most of the padding disintegrated a few years ago, but they are still comfortable enough.

Rugged construction, good isolation with in-ear design, professional grade sound quality. If you are willing to spend ~$100-200, consider Shure and Etymotic.
