So almost 2 years ago I asked about upgrading my plantronics backbeat pro 2’s and people suggested I hold them until the wheels fall off

Well, now the wheels are falling off. Headband is coming apart.

What would be a modern day upgrade you’d recommend?

Based on what I’ve seen… It would seem the momentum 4 (I’ve seen them regularly under 200 usd new on reseller sites) or momentum 5 from sennheiser would be a good choice but curious to know if this community has a different or better recommendation.

    Yeah, I’ve had two pairs of DT 770 Pros now, and they’re probably my favorite non-active-noise-cancelling headphones. Good passive isolation, comfortable, fairly light, durable.

    I think that the cable used to be detachable and isn’t on current models, but my current model also cost significantly less, so…shrugs

    If OP wants ANC headphones, though, which I assume he does if he’s looking at Momentum 4s, might not be what he wants.

      I have some 770’s and fit a mini XLR socket on them. I then balanced them too. It’s nice to have cable options. It was years ago I did this, there were a few videos on how to convert them, probably more these days.
