Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO ComparisonUsability
Don’t take these cans into the outside world.
Cable Connectivity (4.15)
Extending 9.6 feet, the cable of the Beyerdynamic DT 860 is robust, ending in a 1/8th inch plug. The plug is then in turn guarded by a super-thick casing. Also interesting about the plug is that it is threaded to allow you to screw on the adapter and not accidentally pull the plug and adapter apart when you disconnect your headphones from whatever you have them plugged into.
Portability (1.50)
These cans were not made for walking, so that’s just not what they’ll do. Seriously though, even though there is a carrying case, they weren’t meant to brave the elements, as even high humidity could work its way into the ear cups via the open backs. This is a huge problem, because that would mean that the electronics of your Beyerdynamic DT 860s would be exposed to water. No good.
Maintenance (2.75)
The Beyerdynamic DT 860s are simple enough to maintain, as you can remove the element guarding the speaker, and the ear pads are removable for easy cleaning.

$99.954Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
