"I can concur with Adam that the Audio Technica's are bullet proof."
Wow. What's going on at the National Gallery of Canada?!

Hello Jason;
I can concur with Adam that the Audio Technica's are bullet proof. We use the ATH M30 because of price and the straight cable design. Four years now with no failures and not too expensive either.
Thanks,

Hello Jason:
We've found the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones to be pretty rugged.
We use them in our studios, and they're designed for professional
monitoring and mixing. They might be worth trying in your exhibit. They
are a bit expensive.

There are straight and coiled cable versions.

Hello,
This is more of an AV question, but since we all multitask anyway.
We have a music exhibit that has been up for a year and will be up
another
14 months. Within the exhibit are five listening locations with
headphones.
With daily use (and abuse) we have gone through approximately 12 sets of
headphones since the exhibit opened.
I was wondering if anyone had some experience with decent quality
headphones
that are designed for heavy use. Since it is a Rock and Roll exhibit,
we
aren't really looking for "library study carrel" style, although they
would
probably last longer! They do need to be tough though, as we often have
large (100+) groups of 4th through 12th graders wandering through the
exhibit.
Thanks in advance!
Jason
