The drivers maybe. But the rest of mine are falling apart. Admitidly I have been using them very heavily for 5 years.

I have been using my dt990 for over 10 years nearly 10h daily and I only had to replace the pads once. Just wash them and they are good. Also both plastic thingys on the sides broke but thats an easy repair. Rest is fine tbh

I've already replaced the pads, but the headband pad the those plastic things are pretty fucked. The handband's leather is falling off and the plastic bits are held on by eletrical tape. They are pretty tough but I sill need to replace those.

how are your headphones falling apart after 5, I've had mine for 8 and they're pristine after an earpad change

My HD380 Pros made it 10 years, 4 sets of earpads, 2 head pads, and 2 cables.

Swap out the earpads and headband (if possible) and it'll feel like brand new.

MDR-V6 has entered the chat. It laughs at modern electronics durability.

Except the earpad because fuck you and your ears.

Note: I still have a working set from the 80s when they were made in Japan.

I also have DT770 600 ohms from the 80s? So... Yes... They last a long time.
