What a piece of junk. This is the second pair of these Sony earbuds that has broken on me, and I am forced to use those branding white iPod earbuds. I hate wearing those, its like wearing a badge that says, “Look at me, I’m hip! I’m on the bandwagon, hooray!” They also say, in large letters, “Hi, if you want to rob me, it will be worth your time.”
So I replaced the white earbuds with normal black earbuds. Well, blue earbuds to be exact.
And this morning they broke. The wire to the left bud snapped. It didn’t come out at a soldered joint, it just snapped right in the middle of the wire. There was no bend or crease, or point of wear where it broke. It just broke – right in the middle – just like the last pair I of these Sony earbuds I owned. I guess you get what you pay for, and these were only $10.
On a superstitious note, the last time my earbuds busted was just before Leslie got a job. Maybe this is some kind of omen.
same thing happened to me on 2, count’em 2 sets of these buds. they both broke in the exact same place too.
