" ... The wire shorted in less the a month of normal use. ... "
" ... The sound kept shorting out every time I moved the cord, until today when it died completely, about a month after I bought them. ... "
" ... Could be a great product with a little reinforcement in the wiring. ... "
" ... The cables are a bit thin, though. ... "
" ... They eventually all lose sound in one side or the sound starts to crackle whenever the cord is moved . ... "
" ... cable noise (some incorrectly call this microphinics). ... The cable noise is pretty significant, but can be ameliorated by using the little clip included with the IEMs. ... "
" ... I'm really rough on headphones, or anything with exposed wires. ... If the wire gets caught on something as you're walking by, as is the fate of all 3.5 mm jacked portable audio equipment, the wire is generally sturdy enough to not get damaged, and Amazon has been kind enough to include a little alligator clip at the top that you can cling to your shirt, so the earbuds don't wind up on the ground. ... "
" ... The wiring has already become intermittent after only a few weeks of use. ... "

" ... We use these Amazon "basics" earbuds with one of the tiny, lightweight, bluetooth receivers that are popularly sold to add bluetooth reception to devices like headphones, earbuds, and stereo receivers. ...

" ... so the stop and play buttons don't work anymore. ... "
" ... By this time I'm just thinking the quality control is zilch. ... "
" ... The real problems came after 2 weeks though, by then the headphones would randomly pause and flip through songs, even adjusting the volume knob on their own. ... "
" ... 2) No volume control or maybe my piece was just defective ... "
" ... Two weeks after that I noticed that my device would unexpectedly pause or skip to the next track when I would sit down and I figured out that it would happen when touching the cable where it connects to the headphone jack. ... "
