I keep breaking headphones

    every time I buy a pair of headphones for my ipod, one ear goes in them pretty soon after I buy them.

    I think its because I wrap them aro8und my ipod and the wires come loose. I don't know

    Can anyone tell me how to fix it/prevent it from happening/ about a decent pair to buy.

    The skull candy ones seem pretty decent

    1. You're right about one thing - wrapping them around your iPod can strain the wires. Don't do it. Get a pair of head-phones with a cord reel (or something similar) so that you can roll up the cable when not using them.

    1. Don't get cheap ones. Go for a good brand like Bose, Sennheiser or Shure head/ear-phones. (Personally I prefer headphones to earphones - don't like things sticking -in- my ears - but to each, their own.).

    Say "Hi!" to your dog for us!

    The problem might not be with the earphones,rather with your players reception port for the jack.I've had similar problems with a number of different walkmans and mp3 players down through the years and i eventually realized that that was what was causing the loss of sound.

    Trying another pair of headphones would test that out.

    By a set of Sennheiser MX500's they come with a case. Or something like a Sennheiser PMX100

    yeah mine usually start to go at the at the corner into the jack nad I have wiggle them to get to work :/

    thye should make stronger there

    I just got a zen and the earphones they gave you with are ****? ugly white ones that strangly made with a sort short stick with word creative on instead of a wire right up to the ear piece sorry im not walking advertising.

    there are worthless with no shape and two big to stay in the ear, insultingly bad, luckily I have my old ones to use.
