my MP3...earphone killer?

Post by Skyve »

So here's the situation...
My right earphone dosn't work.Its really annoying.Its gonna be my 5th time buying new earphones... :x

It seems my mp3 player(Sansa Clip) is killing earphones.Every time I get new earphone,after 2 weeks one of the earphones stops working!Anyone got the same problem,is there any solution?

I also notice that if I turn around the earphone plugs,sometime I can get the "broken" earphone to work for a short period of time(barely 5 seconds

i did actually have this problem for a while, and i have a sansa, dont wrap your wires around it all tight and such that stretches the wires, what i did was buy some quality ear buds, the ones i had before were cheap knock offs from walmart, but the ones i got were good ones, and i have had them for a few months and no problems and the quality is really good.

You're problem is probably wrapping it around the mp3 player...Don't do that and it'll save you some bucks :)

Yea I have broken several headphones and lot of my friends have had the same problem. I bought pretty expencive KOSS´ headphones and they work perfectly. So I recommend to buy little more expencive ones.

And in technology if something is cheaper than other there's always good reason for that.

The brand of the mp3 shoudn't have any effects on how earphones are less likely to break or not

When someone says "mp3",there's too many people thinking directly about iPods.As shown,other brands have really nice mp3's like Creative,Sansa etc.
