I HATE EARPHONES

For fuck sake, you'd think after so many years there would be some improvements in earphones. They're just as liable to break now as they were 5 years ago.

And why has it always got to be one ear broken? It's fucking annoying. I'm buying new pairs every few months.

Anyone else having this annoying issue?

Earbuds do suck. I've gone through so many.

I have gone through so many earphones, I have a trash bin in my room labeled earphones.

:S Yeah, it's insane. Even the expensive ones can break in a few months.

Btw do you prefer the ones that actually go in your inner ear or just rest on the outside part? (just wondering....)

I hate on-the-ear headphones that just rest on the ears. I prefer buds or giant headphones that go around and cushion the ears.

This is why I didn't buy an Ipod or Mp3.

I got so sick of em. I wouldn't even buy them anymore. Just walk out of Target with em XD

But now I bought Skullcandy Skullcrushers and they work like a charm. Big headphones though.

Most annoying thing is that they dont stay in your ears when you are running

wha- that's hardly a good reason... Just buy earphones from somewhere that has warranty. Mine just ran out but for £2 I got a years warranty and I replaced my earphones like 3 or 4 times throughout the year.

true ... I guess you could get those ones that sort of have that thing which fits over your ear so it doesn't fall of...

Try these Lykos.

Mine have been through the washing machine several times and still sound great!

I use Razer Orcas, I do get some peculiar looks when listening to my mp3 player in public. W/e they sound awesome.

I'm not too sure buddy. I've always gone for headphones with the buds for one simple reason.

No buds = No Bass

Lol, not with these. These have well enough bass. Plus they sound a shitload better then any earbuds I've ever used.

I had the same problem man. I got some 3rd party headphones for Christmas and they broke within a week or 2. I had another one and the left earphone's volume sucks ass and the right one was coming off. At least they were good for about a few months.

I laugh at the people who buy high end gaming headsets like Trittons....they are more unreliable than British Leyland were for shoddy products.

Trittons = MadCatz, of course it's bad quality, there are SOME high quality gaming headsets.

Reaper wrote:

Still arent worth the price though, you could get like 3 brand new games for the cost of a decent set of astros

You can do a lot more then just play games with astros. When you buy a high quality gaming headset, you're not just buying it for games. You're buying a sound system for anything you want to use them for.

Reaper wrote:

Yeah i know my friend has astros and they are good, but its still like 150 quid for them...

I wasn't just talking Astros I was talking expensive headsets in general, audio is just as important as video for me so an expensive headset is a must.

Reaper wrote:

Astros would be the ones i'd buy, solid build quality and great sound.

But you're paying a lot for having teh mlgz headset. I would go with logitech G35s or Roccat Kaves.

Meh, mine hardly break.
