    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.

    This actually happened with my headphones a few days ago.

    Wire just bust, get a replacement where you can.
    And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear.

    You shout and no one seems to hear.

    It should also be mentioned that its stupidly easy to splice a different adapter onto the end of your wire.
