I am so disappointed in this product. Having previously lived in a beach town for 3 years, the Body Glove brand is well-known to me. As far as I know, their clothing, wetsuits, etc. are all top-notch. I bought these headphones with the assumption that Body Glove would not put their name on a poor product. Boy was I wrong! I haven't even owned them a week, and already one of the earpieces stopped working. I mean come on! I realize they were only $[...] (bought in a store not from Amazon), so if they had lasted only 6 months to a year, maybe I would understand. At first I thought I got a bad pair; then I read the reviews here. Apparently, my pair worked exactly how they were designed to work: not at all. It seems most "American" companies (if you can call them that since nothing is made here anymore) are all going the same route these days: Make crap for as cheap as possible; pawn it off on the unsuspecting public; worry more about profit and bottom-line than taking pride in products; CEOs laugh about it while they cruise around on their yachts. I actually believe this is beyond shoddy craftsmanship and products this bad should be illegal to sell, but try getting the fat-cats in D.C. to agree to that!
