Default What's the longest your PK1 and PK3 have run before they broke?

My PK3's bass on one side seems to rattle after like half a month. Pretty disappointed so I will be sending them in either for a replacement or refund.

I also have the PK1, I was wondering what's the longest someone has used these before they stopped working?

Just wondering about the longevity of these products, not too sure of the QC/longevity of the PK3, but I am hoping that the PK1 will last quite a long time. Anyone use them for more than 1-2 years with no problems?

And I'm talking about the DRIVERS not the cabling... can always recable.

Thanks.

I have both, and they're still working fine. I bought the PK3's about 5 or 6 months ago and they're still working fine. My PK1's are 4 months old and still fine too.

My PK2's have been working perfectly since March 2008. I've yanked them pretty hard (accidentally) on gym equipment about three times too.

I got mine last summer and they are still good. I have accidentally pulled/tripped/snagged the wires quite a few times, and have had no problems.

How long have you had them? You can always contact HeadDirect.

I believe it's $50 for the PK1 replacement if it's out of warranty. But double check with Fang though.
