Another one of my rants afraid folks:-

Above you see an article i'm sure all of uis have been associated with at one time or another, the fabled 'headphones' unfourtunatly I have too, which is a bugger as I hate the things, well love and hate them. I love them cause I bring music to my ears and levae me in a world of my own. But I hate the,m because they break so f-ing easily, I cleaned out my bedroom (shock, shock, horror, horror) and I most have thrown away at least 10 pairs of headphones that I have got through in the last 3 years or something like that and thats about 1 pair for just under every 4 months, that seems a ridculous amount of time for something that can cost over £20!!!! (Which my latest ones, shown in abve pic, were).

To get to the point: - Is it so hard to invent headphones that don't break?!?!

I mean its just wires with an outer shell of rubber, can you not make the wires strong/flexible enough to withstand being strecthed and stressed in all different ways, I mean its obvious that they are going to be stretched and stressed. It's like the story about how light bulb companies make light bulbs that brake after a certian amount of time so we have to buy new ones when they could easily produce lightbulbs that last a lot longer and probably save us on electric bills as well

Ahhhh, that makes the hang-over all better.

Yeah I agree, the chords are the main probl;em as when you stretch them by accident the connection between the headphones can be either disconnected slightly or completely, so the sound is quieter in one ear (which is SO ANNOYING) or there's no sound in one ear (which is EVEN MORE ANNOYING).

Those bluetooth headsets do look very interesting, money is always a problem for a budding entrepreneur like me.

I haven't had the problem with BT headphones running out of juice, although I have had a problem with my phone not charging properly and beeping all night if not put on the hook properly.

No No No, only my current headphones were £19, all my others have been between £9.99 and £12, your but ipods have "please-steal-me" headphones, they stand out way too much.

Well your obviously not a hardcore music listener then if your headphones aren't brokern yet, hmph, lol.

Well me and Rob Nutt have the same problem with headphones, probably cause we both buy Sony headphones, aww well. Good for you.

I must say those Cordless MP3 Headphones do lopok preety goddamn cool, maybe if I get any insurance money foy my stolen stuff i'll have a look into getting some of them. There only £99.99 which is not that cheap considering its only 512MB, but I guess your paying for the cordless heaqdphones really.
