Ever since I bought my first cans almost 5 years ago, I've had the same issue, again and again, and I'm absolutely fed up with it. Every, everytime, a faulty connection would appear on the "jack" end of the cable. As a result, only one earcup would be supplied with electricity, only one would play the music. If I bend the jack end on the side, the sound comes back, and then stops again.
I first began with the panasonic rp-htx7 that I had to replace every 5 month because the faulty connection would come back again.
Then I switched to the Sennheiser HD380 Pro, craving for more quality and a longer "life span" of the wire. Unfortunatly, I couldn't get rid of the problem. I've changed the cable (exchangeable) 2 times already (40 euros each time...), and today, my third cable just passed away without any reason. I bought it 2 months ago, I'm shocked and really pissed. It had no reason to break, especially since I've always treated my cans very well. Now, changing the wire 3 times cost me more than buying the same cans, brand new. Absurd, you said?
I listen to a lot of music (5 hours minimum a day), but aren't those headphones (especially the senn, ironically called "pro" ahah) meant to last longer than 5 months max? Has anyone experienced this? Is it interrelated to "one wire" cans only (I mean by that, cans that are supplied from only one ear cup)?
Am I the only one in this situation? Would you recommend me reliable pairs of "over ears closed cans" that will last longer than 4 months?
Thank you, I'm waiting for your feedbacks now.
