Price wise it’s what I would’ve expected tbh and in my budget I had in mind
I have several pairs of them and they are reasonably hardy.
If you want something to give to talent then I'd suggest DT100's- they are stronger and have a removable cable and pretty much all the parts can be replaced on them.
They don't sound as good though.

It isn't a problem- doesn't affect the sound.

Thanks again. I’ll order a set of those
At last count I had about 7 pairs, from seventies Philips to BD 770 ... some I got from boot sales for less than a fiver
I'm sorta in the camp that says it's a bad idea to mix on headphones... but then, I've never really invested in a good pair of cans to try it for myself. I've had several pairs of DT770's over the years that I borrowed from the office. The problem was, they were all oldish and beat up and knackered, and you can hear distortion in the drivers, so they're not reflective of a real pair.
Seen a lot of love for the Sennheiser HD6xx series.

nowt wrong with his mixes.
I’m prolly wrong but as long as you listen to your reference on the same system you’re mixing on it should make bugger all difference to what you actually put on you head as long as they are fairly decent.
Know what your mixing on, know what your comparing to. And once you've done a mix you're happy with listen to it on different playback systems to see what jumps out.
By necessity I HAVE to mix on headphones. I have to mix late due to my work and my house appears to be made of paper. As I'm learning my headphones I think my mixes are improving to the point where I'm pretty happy with them now. Others may disagree!
Only comment I would make is that I think open back is a much better option than closed. I find closed really tiring and boxy sounding compared to open back. I'm using AKG Q701s and love 'em.
What I’m using now is a set of Sennheiser HD6xx, which I prefer in terms of sound (they’re smoother up top) but they cost more than the Beyers.
Theoretically it’s more difficult to mix on headphones but it’s definitely doable if you get used to it. The hardest part is placing things in space, as your perception of centre vs sides is different on headphones. This is because you’re hearing only left signals in the left ear and right in the right, however in a room you’d hear some of each. I’ve found goodhertz canopener is a useful piece of software for simulating that.
