note to headphone manufaturers- quit using that thin cheap leatherette on the foam padding, that crap is lucky to make it for five years. It is way too thin. I know that the high end headphones use leather. I think that there would be a better alternative to the thin skin leatherette. All of the headphones on the market that are under say fifty dollars are already made out of plastic and that makes sense for mass production, but you would think that your companies could try viynl or something relative.
