Headphones Fail!

Comments

yeah. a $50 pair of headphones shouldn't be falling apart like that. especially with minimal usage...

why do they want a deposit, though??? i don't get it.
I dislike all earbud headphones, so I ditch the stock ones that come with mp3 players as soon as I get them. My favorite (so much that I've got a spare pair sitting in a drawer for when the current one breaks) is the Sony MDR-Q22LP headphones - not only do they sound great, but the clips keep them on my ears without being uncomfortable. My last pair lasted about 4.5 years, but it appears they've made the cable a little bit thinner since then, so I don't expect this new pair to last quite as long...still, at ~$17, I could buy 3 pairs for the price of the ones you're talking about.
Do you have Apple Care? Apple shouldn't be charging you to send the earbuds back. (The FireWire cable on my 4G once came apart, I called the Apple Care number, and they just sent me another cable.)
I checked my email this morning and Apple has already sent me new head phones. Yah!
I would never buy headphones for that price (thanks for the recommendation), but if they are covered under warranty (and they seem to be), I'll certainly take them. ;-)
The same thing is happening to my iPhone headphones!
So I'm really getting the full iPhone experience with my Touch. ;-) Maybe you can get them replaced from Apple support?
I think I will do some research and let you know if I find out anything....
