GAAAAAAAAAAAHH MY HEADPHOOOOOOOOOONES

Frumious B, · 02-23-2008, 11:48 AM

My headphones keep on breaking, and every time I get new ones, they break 2 weeks later. I've been trying to use my iPod headphones, but my dog chewed those up. Then I got some of those knock off kind, but now the sound is starting to distort.

DAMN YOU, HEADPHONE MAKING COMPANIES, DAMN YOU!

I had a pair that seemed really high quality. But then, when I took the buds out of my ear, all of the stuff inside came out. Now I have no headphones.

Use Sound Speakers. Tape them to your ears.

I got a pair of used cheap headphones out of a used junk box 3 years ago. They still work perfectly.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I used to have a run of cheap dollar store earphones; they lasted for a week or so before failing in some mundane way. Eventually I broke down a purchased a good pair and, you know, treated them nicely.

Any headphones that I get, the right side will always break down within a month. Always.

^Same thing hear. Every single time, no matter how expensive they are.

Most new headphones are made badly, and you can never trust buds to continue working for longer than a couple of months. I mean, I still have ridiculously old headphones from sometime in the 80's that still work, but any buds I've bought in the past two years have broken. We've got some regular foldable headphones that are doing fine, and AI's got a good expensive pair for mixing music that are awesome (however much they crush your head :O ).

Well, I've had the same pair of buds for about three years now (they came with my PSP, which I bought close to launch), and they still work perfectly. Cord's a touch too short for comfort, but ehhh.

Get some cheaper ones that fold, if you're on a budget. Don't go for those ****ty earbuds, they have crap sound. Complete lack of balance = fail.
