I've been eyeing these for a long time, but I'm still weary for when that mounting screw will break (which is inherent for all of the Fostex/Denon headphones that use the same headband/swivel ear cup design):

Yeah it's a flawed design that Denon corrected with the X200 series but some say the X000 (with Fostex drivers) are still the better headphones.

I have a D5200 but have never used the X000 models so not sure how they compare. The build quality on the D5200 is really nice though.

Yeah. I own both the TH900 (this design) and Denon 9200 and the 9200 is built like a tank whereas I am always SO careful with the TH900, absolutely no reason they should be this fragile for the price they cost
