Ok, I listen to a lot of music, probably around 10 hours a day, I work alone in the back of a chemical plant. ANYWAYS! I've been through a few earbuds since I got my iPod and I'm sick of them dying on me, I don't know if it's the way I wear them (under my sweater and into my pocket), the type of work I'm doing (lots of static) or if it's just the fact that I am listening to them for 10 hours a day.
I've had in order, the default iPod ear buds, the old skullcandies, fullmetal jacket skull candies(got mugged), fullmetal jackets again, Bose and now those razer earbuds. They all died sort of the same way, one ear would cackle a bit then burn out and then soon after the other would do the same. Oh and they all lasted just a little over a year (soon after the warrenty, curious no?)
At first I just wanted earbuds that would last so I kept going up in price everytime I bought a new pair hoping they would last longer. But now after going from those Bose to the razer earbuds I don't even feel like listening to my iPod, so now I'm about the quality.
Sound is my recent obsession(got new pc speakers and all), so I was thinking of getting those shure SE530 but I really don't feel like dropping that sort of cash on something thats going to die within a few months, but I don't want to listen to garbage either.
I was also thinking of perhaps staying away from IEMs and moving onto something like the Bose QuietComfort 2 around ear headphones (though I do like to hide the fact that I am listening to music, work purposes and getting robbed)
Any and all help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
