My first pair of nice Headphones were ATH-M50s/LE back before M50s had detachable cables... really liked that pair but the family dog was a puppy and pulled them off the desk and chewed them up a ton ... one of the Y pieces holding the ear cup broke ... Audio Technica was able to send me a replacement part for free in a different color (no spares in the limited color) that repair lasted a few years but it finally broke ... those were the daily driver for 3-5 years or so. I have a pair of beyerdynamic DT990s now that I've been using for 3 or 4 years.
