Hey guys, I work in an environment where earbuds are a better option than any actual headphones. Anyone have any suggestions on a pair that has decent quality but also won't shit out on me after 2 months? I bought a ~$100 pair of earbuds by 1MORE (don't have the model on me currently), and the quality is fantastic but the left earbud died after a couple months even though I was EXTREMELY careful with them (always put them in the case they came with when I wasn't using, never put strain on the cables, etc.)

Any suggestions? Would like to keep around $100.

thanks for the insight. also looking at wired options since it is a desk job - i just happen to have to talk to people around me pretty frequently, so the ability to leave an earbud out so i can here is great, but there are also times where I want to be able to use both earbuds. but i will look into the hbs750s :)

Sennheiser Cx 300's are always my go to.

Cheap and they last a long time.

I'm sure some $600 earbuds should work mighty fine for you, pm Rikuo for more info

I'd just opt for a nice blue tooth set if possible. Very little chance on breaking the cables.
Though they probably won't to compare to quality ear buds they should last you.

You don't want to take advantage of the one year warranty?

i didn't pay for a 1 yr warranty. obvious mistake. amazon product support ended ~1 month after I got them. maybe i'm missing something though? if so, please pm me. thanks

1MORE products are warranted against defects in materials and craftsmanship for a period of one year from the date of original retail purchase, when used in accordance with 1MORE's user manuals


You get the year warranty if you've purchased from one of their authorized distributors listed on the site.

Since your device is under warranty, why get a new one? Just send this for repair or they'll just replace it with a new one.
