Okay the earbud that i got for 24$ 1month ago just broke which was the exact same model as this topic here ( http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=81920 )... So far this year i've been on like 5 earphones, and its always been one of the ears stop working...

however if i turn the wire a bit, sound still comes from the other earbud, and as soon as i move, it stops working...T_T

get v-moda vibes and treat them nicely (i.e. use a pouch instead of wrapping them around whatever you use them for and letting the wires stretch and be damaged and such)

1 month is rediculous, how do you transport them when you're not listening? And be sure not to mess around with the cable when you're bored like spinning it around, wrapping around your fingers etc, that stuff will kill it sooooo much faster.

Ive had standard ipod earbuds for a few months now (think since end september) and theyve been fine and I always carry them around in my pocket wrapped around the ipod (nano), if you do this be sure not to wrap it too tightly.

i've actually broken them many times before so i pay attention to how i put it in my pockets now, I dont' wrapte it around my ipod i just tangle it together and put it in a seperate pocket away from my ipod. I used to just wrap the headphones around my ipod with it still connected, and shove it in my pockets... and my new way of handling it seems to a worse result...

ever heard of a planned obsolescence? Find something comparable expensive and seemingly simple, to make u say "wtf?". Buy it and have it last.
Can someone ban this guy please? FA?

i have a habit of wrapping my earphones around my mp3 player and that seems to kill them much faster than not.

i usually buy some generic earphones and i've had some last a month or two and some > 6 months; the inconsistency bugs the shit out of me.

Buy quality earphones that last for years instead of buying five budget earphones per year. Same price if you count how often the lesser earphones break, plus you get a 10x better sound from them compared to the budget ones.

Tis' like driving a $100 000 car for one year, or driving five $20 000 cars per year where you get a new one when the old one breaks. So stupid.

Yang wtf quit wrapping the shit around your junk.....

Hrmm my 3rd gen ipod earphones worked great(shitty sound thou) for about 2 years until they stole the other mp3 player(ipod was stolen within a year)....I would just buy like the 10-15 dollar sony/phillips in-ear buds just for the fact I know im going to fuck them up or lose them sooner or later....One time I spent about 45 bucks on some dj style sony headphones (cheap for dj style) and my dog chewed up the wires....Fuckin great....
ya had ya shot kid!

Have these and they don't need a case mine we run over by a SUV. not the best in terms of sound quality a bit boomy, but better than any 25 dollar ones.
