I be now on my third pair of these headphone . I use they when training -lrb- running , gym , etc -rrb- and the first two pair last about 6-7 month before the cable fail . both time the cable fail at the point where it split \/ be join to the headphone . why do I still keep buy they and give a four star review ? sound be good , they be very light , extremely comfortable , not too expensive , and I do give they a lot of abuse so do not expect they to last forever .
