I only use mine for listening to stuff through the laptop, but I use them pretty much daily and they're built to lastphones:
If something goes wrong, you can swap out most of the parts, or if you want a straight or curly lead, not a problem. I really rate them for home listening as they're low fatigue, so I can wear them for hours without the need for a break.
Seeing as they're as old as the rave scene though and still used by a lot of DJ's I know and nearly all the sports reporters at live events, then I think they deserve a special mention. They might even outlive the 1200/1210's too and that's some feat in this day and age
