Sennheiser rant

This isn't review. Well, sort of it is. Few years back I bought Sennheiser headphones, PX100. I've had them for a year, when cable broke at the connector. I got other ones as replacement. Year and a half, cable broke again, and there was hair n driver compartment which couldn't be pulled out. I have very strong hair, and three cats, so hair gets on the driver from time to time, and I clean them out with tweezers. But I couldn't see this one. This time no replacement, as warranty expired. They have left me the old pair, with f****d up cable, but I can't open them to recable them. So I bought used HD212pro, which were OK, and I had them for almost a year, and hair got in. But I can't access the drivers or the hair, because holes above the driver are so small I wonder how did even hair got in. Connector is pretty sturdy, but the cable is, oh well, 3 meters long. I've spent 100 dollars on them. That is quite a lot of money here, my monthly income is around 700$. I have to buy another headphones, but I won't be buying Senns again, as I don't have that kind of money - I will buy something cheaper, in range of 20$. And will take care of access the drivers, so I can pull the hair from there when needed. When I was much younger, I had cheap Phillips headphones, which could be totally opened, cable resoldered, and driver cleaned - the protective metal cap over them could be removed. Why aren't all headphones made like that?
