Im surprised these are getting so much hate. I've had my TMA-1s for years and love them. They seem to get a lot of love from the head-fi.org community as well.
They're definitely no where near as overpriced as Beats.
I also cant believe people say these are fragile, but then point to the AKG Tiestos as an alternative. Those headphones are known to break at the swivel hinges....
PandaSPUR...which AKG was receptive to and fixed with a redesign. Sometimes 1st generation product has its kinks even with good R&D. This manufacturer on the other hand appears to be less receptive to user feedback, if related comments are indeed correct.
