If you got a bad pair, it happens. Just RMA and get a new one, or get a refund if you would like.

Warranty ^_^ From what I hear, Shure is good about their warranty, and since this is a known problem, I'm sure you'll get your due; otherwise you can get a rep on the line and give him links to the pages of complaints here
 
First step: Call Shure
Second step: ...
Third step: Profit

Remember to play "I dont know whats wrong, can you send me another pair? Where are you located? You sound really nice. How is your day going?"

Dont punk the person answering the phone for the smoothest RMA...

I don't think he needs to play anything, his pair was straight up defective and he deserves a new set.

hmm if you have a history of breaking things dont you think you should perhaps treat them differently.

lol, i agree that i think he has a history of breaking things, but he must have really mistreated the shures for them to break in less than a day.
 
i don't own these headphones though so i can't comment on their build quality but it sounds like you got a dud

My Turbines are 6 months old and my SE215s are over a month old and I don't seem to be having any issues with build quality. As mark2410  said, I think you should treat them a bit differently.

i should point out im not saying its impossible he didnt get a crap pair, im merely saying i dont believe the fault lies with shure

Yeah, I also don't think that Shure makes poor products in terms of build quality, although some people are experiencing issues with the nozzle.

I guess the best thing for me is to strap speakers to my back

Just pay more attention to where you leave your earphones.

The Shures were in their case on my table for most of the time, so they had some kind of defect for sure.

You should buy something from Koss as your next headphone.  Lifetime warranty.
