I have the headphones used about 1 year long to cycle to work every day (about 20 minutes) and otherwise during exercise (jogging). After almost a year at first no longer worked, the volume control, the pause / skip button only after repeated pressing. Since I was very happy with the sound, I returned the phone and the same order again. This showed, despite careful treatment (external forces, no tangling in the wheel spokes or similar Fissematenten) after a few days exactly the same behavior. I then twice as expensive Sennheiser MM 30i Sennheiser MM 30i ear-canal headset black for iPod iPhone iPadbestellt that are no better verabeitet, but sitting by the way poor and above all are more difficult (the remote control dangling quite well) and I now after three months (!!) send back with the same symptoms.
Thus gives three returns within one year.
By comparison, my original iPod listeners held nearly 4 annual, the original iPhone earphones for about 2 years. Both showed real signs of aging (brittle cable mglw. By welding partially resolved earcups) but worked perfectly until the very end, the headset functions with the iPhone handset.
