the usual short life span of headphone products certainly has been a source of irritation for myself
have gone through too many over the years to remember them all
most recently a pr of pioneer lasted a couple of yrs
of course the completely over the ear ones naturally feature decent wire insulation and a more secure internal solder
and then it was on to earbuds and dollar earbuds and two pr of goodwill ones for a dollar ea or thereabouts until a couple of months ago after the demise of a lower end model for around twenty or so, i bought some sony wireless for fifty plus tax and am happy with them...so far the only remarkable design flaw seems to be that when they are removed from the charging stand, the LED usually turns off and the power cord has to be popped out and back in... the LED then reappears and the headphones are ready
wary of super high end headphones perhaps in a way much like the inclination many have towards avoiding the purchase of expensive sunglasses
