Now I should explain that I have a normal city office job and the only time I use my headphones is for listening to music on the tube, travelling, walking places. Not exactly a tough life...or so you'd think.
Then why, I ask myself, have a purchased 3-4 sets of expensive in-ear headphones in the last 2 years. Is that normal? I'm currently using my Apple ones which I cannot stand (although they're better than I expected!) since my Sennheiser CX500s only lasted me 6 weeks until the right-angle connector that connects to the music device has been crackling and dropping sound from one earpiece. The last two sets before the Sennheiser's were the XtremeMac/FutureSonic FS1 (one black & one white to spice things up a bit) - These ones both lost connectivity at the neck Y-junction after 6 months or so. I forget the set I had before those...
Can anyone name me some decent quality headphones that either have replaceable cables or are tough enough to stand up to be screwed up in a pocket and jolted a few times?
