    Angry Headphones for the gym

    I have at least 7+ pairs of headphones all of which have one ear that has stopped working



    Been inside in the gym when one of the ears start to flicker before dying makes me rage worse than tren



    Mind you i've bought headphones that were gold plated, lifetime warranties, supposedly indestructible, waterproof, sweat proof, sport headphones, audiophile headphones, 2$ headphones and they all have the same faith




    y u do dis?

    Try looking at a company called Wicked Headphones. They run about $15 and you can get them at FYE and I believe Spencers.

    What is happening is that the thin wire leading to ear piece has parted. And the break can be located anywhere on that lead. You could fiddle with and find the break and make easy repair. But not worth the time.

    Man, I had a set of Bose (Zebras), I damaged the cable lifting. I loved those fvckers!

    Looked around for tough, water proof phones with the sound I like- best I found was Adidas/Sennheiser

    Long story short

    I just bought the new ipod nano and the headphones DO NOT FALL OUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
    from deadlifting to eating to running

    Worth every cent!




    Success!

    They always seem to break, never get expensive headphones anymore, just some cheap plastic ones last about as long for me.

    These are the BEST for active people. The 'cone-shaped' plugs fit perfect in your ears, cancel all outside sound, and the bass and clarity is so crystal clear. They're a snug fit and never fall out even while running and sweating.

    Well worth the investment... plus you can get a 2 year warranty

    I tend to have same thing with my headphones. I listen to my headphones loud and after some time my headphones go deaf. After like 4 months I gotta buy new pair.

    I currently have thease orange Philips headphones that go around your ear, I had to

    change them only twice this year. I bought them for 45€
