Every time i get my hands on a new pair of earphones, they stop working within a month or two. I have gone through three different pairs of earphones since July. I picked up another pair a few weeks ago and they started to fail last night.

Has anybody got any tips so that this stops happening? It is getting really annoying.

Don't pull the chord when you unplug them? What general price/quality have the phones had?

Most of them cost between £10 - £20

Even at that price, he shouldn't be going through headphones that quick. I had a pair of £10 headphones that last me a year, and after that a pair that cost £20 that last me 6 months.

I had a £10 Walkman that has lasted more than 15 years.

I don't get how people manage to break all these things so fast. Only pair of headphones I've ever had break (except for a pair I trod on once) were the pair that came with my Gameboy.

I don't understand. I see people with KNOTS in their cables, so much that they have to hold their iPod up to their chest height...and their headphones last 6 months.

Yet I unplug by the plug most of the time, keep them untangled, coil them nicely without forcing the cabling....and they all break on me....Been through the apple bugs, $60 buds...cheapo knockoff buds, all the same.
