Good pair of cans £50-100? Also, what the hell at my EX-71s cable?! *pics*

What's up with that? The cable has come to pieces, they still work, but I'm not sure for how much longer. Anyone else had this problem?

And, I'm after a pair of cans for £50-100 as I said. What do people recommend?

I heard the Grado SR60s are good? I need good bass

Cheers.

You haven't been trying to clean them have you? The covering is very susceptible to heat and will shrivel up if rubbed with a cloth to get gunk off. Made that mistake with a white pair, but luckily only knackered the extension cable and didn't really need that anyway.

Nope I clean the ear thingys, but not the cable. You use it without the extension!? I swear it's too short to be of any use, I can't have my MP3 player in my pocket and not use the extension

Then somehow the cable has either been exposed to a high temperature (hot surface, flame, etc) or the cable has been rubbing against something for a reasonable period of time - it doesn't just go like that I'm afraid. My current pair have been in use for over a year, used for at least 3 hours a day, and look brand spanking new. Haven't loaned them out have you?

Use without the extension? Sure, it all depends on where I clip my remote control for my MD player.

Well, maybe it rubs against stuff, because I use my MP3 player every day and have the cord under my t-shirt. Not impressed it went like that though, never had it with any other headphones. It's made of a weird type of material.

I fell asleep with mine on. Did worse than that. Got told by the purple shirts that "you have put acid on it, or melted it with naked flame"... Hmm, my old pair didn't do this. Sony production of this produced has deteriorated way too much.

I hate myself for loosing my old pair now.

Glitch "My current pair have been in use for over a year, "

Yes, because yours are the older style. buy a new pair and cry about the quality

Yea I go to sleep with mine on every night.

Theres your answer then. Shops cant replace them, but if you ring sony support, the sony shop assured me they would be replaced with no questions. I just cba with them anymore.

Will they replace them even if I do have the receipt or whatever?
