    Default Headphones

    So I had this 10$ headphones which were amazing and the sound was like any other 70$+ heaphones and then I just realized I had an amazing deal.

    But the problem here is not about the price or quality, it has happened to every single set I have bought, cheap or expensive. After 2 months of use one day my set just decides to screw me and the right side isn't working, no sound. They are in perfect condition, no wires chewed or w/e crap you can imagine.

    Why and how does this even happen? Simply because they have met their "limit"? Can it be fixed somehow too?

    I would have no problems buying a new set for 10$ but I went to the shop today and didn't see any on shelves.

    I 100% doubt those cheap 10USD headphones can match a pair of AKG K81 DJ headphones.

    And they probably broke because they are cheap.
    You get what you payed for.

    I would say it's a bad wire, or sucky soldering at a contact or something, but you say in happens with all your headphones.

    In that case, it's probably a problem with your player.

    A lot of times its because they get pinched down by where they connect to your device.

    I remember my favorite headphones did that, and I bent the wire back at a 90 degree angle right near the part that plugs into the headphone jack and taped it there. It lasted for another few months haha.

    Just jerk the wire around lower.
