| Hey MAL, I have two questions. I've tried Googling this before but I've never found anything good. First question is, why do all of my earphones start fucking up after a few months of usage? One side always stops working and then both sides mute. I'm currently using a Beats earphone (worth almost 100 dollars) and it already started failing one month in. I don't get it. I keep on switching earphones. Second question is, why do some of my earphones start shocking my ears when I am outdoors? How do I prevent this? Thank you for your time! |
| I think half the time it's cause you might be pulling on the cables too hard when getting them out which damages the ends. If you wind the cables really tight around your phone that also wears them out. I've had a couple sets for <$100 which have all been good over the years until I lost one of the earbuds. I have no idea what you mean when you say shocking your ears though... electric shock? |

Put water on it??Second, the shock might be from static electricity. Cold temperatures. Dry air. Faulty buds. The reasons are many but it does happen from time to time if the conditions are right. Is it unhealthy for my ears? |
| My earphones also die after a few months, I don't remember it happening this early in the years before >.< Bought some bluetooth earphones a while ago and so far they do their job. Though loading them is kinda annoying :P Never got shocked by any though :o |
| Talking from experience, beats headphones are not the best, and compared to their price they are really bad. I suggest you try out sennheiser, they have really good quality in-ear, over ear headphones for every price category. 20-100$ For in-ear, I got one of them, and it works perfectly after 2 years. @worldeditor11 Yes, they are terrible, I tried to say it nicely, but I would rather pay, to not use any beats, they are so bad...xD |
worldeditor11 said: I have never had any major Problems with 10 Euro/Dollar Earphones, even after more than one Year of using them. To answer your first question, that really depends on which brand and type of earphone you are using. Low grade ones are well, tend to be short-lived. In Fact, the first Time I've started to use "Brands", Issues started like having to look for the Plastic Caps frequently and having lower Volume on the Earbuds because Earwax has gathered inside and/or the Cable was plugged a bit too hard. |
