Loud noise from cord friction, broken after only eigth weeks' light use

This is an update to a review I wrote when I first received these headphones. I was quite impressed with the sound quality, but frustrated by the loud noise generated by even the smallest of movement of the fabric cord (which tangles easily, BTW). Now one of the buds has gone silent. These are advertised as having a 3-year warranty, but I'm not eligible for some reason (I think I was supposed to fill out paperwork when I received them?) All in all, my least successful earbuds purchase ever.

It looks nice and the inline mic and volume control is great.  At first the sound was very good.  Unfortunately after a few weeks of use the left ear goes in and out and now both sides completely go out constantly.  I have to play with the cord to get the sound to work.  It seems like the wiring can't support the cord's own weight or something and now there's a bad connection.  Perhaps I just got a dud, but from my own experience I don't recommend this product.

One cord works great after 15 months. The other cord is rubbish (pictured). The fabric cover came off quite quickly, even when I attempted to add a cable protector to reinforce the area. Now, the wires are not seated in the plug properly. When the cable is moved, my phone is constantly making the "I'm now charging" noise - the cable internally disconnects and reconnects over and over. The amount of movement that causes it to disconnect is almost entirely imppssible to detect.

Now I have to find a different charging cable, which is a major annoyance.

it was nice for the first few weeks. Now it makes a loud clicking noise no matter which setting you use. it hasn't moved or been damaged; just started clicking. it's very annoying and we no longer use it. big waste of money.

I bought this headphones less than two months ago, and have used them every now and then. This week the mic stopped serving as a remote or to hang up the phone, and now it seems the cable is busted.

Aside from that, be aware of the significant cable noise (which you could avoid by not moving too much or by clipping the cable to your clothes).

Worked great... For less than a month.  Then stopped working all together.  No water damage, it wasn't dropped, just plugged it in and it wouldn't come on any more.  Now to replace it I have to find some heavy duty scissors to cut off the chord, pay for extra shipping, and wait in line at the post office to send off the cord in the hope that sometime in the next 6 weeks I get a replacement that lasts another month.  Remember when the name Black & Decker meant hard core quality?  Waste of time and money.  (Update, it costs $5 to ship the cord back with postage and such, so basically 25% more money for a machine that broke in a month)

Cord was great length and perfect for my needs, worked well while it lasted. Unfortunately after 1 day there seemed to be a persistent buzzing static sound that would appear from any input I tested, proving there was a fault with the cable.

Had for maybe a month and one is making noise already.

At first I really liked it.  Enough so that I bought another one.  The first one is only two and a half months old and now makes an annoying clicking sound much louder than when first in use.  It makes this noise even in the continuous on position and only stops when the timer finishes on it's own or if in the off position.  I haven't started the second one and hope it is longer lasting than the first.

Updated, company replaced defective product quickly.  Works great.  Makes it easy to set limits for electric items that only need to be on for a period of time.

It worked well for a few weeks now any 1/4 unbalanced cord I connect has interference that changes when you wiggle the cord/connector.  The metal housing is not sturdy wither.  It moves in the middle which also generates noise on the channel.

*Edit* Shortly after posting my review I had an email from the company offering a replacement, so that's pretty cool. Hopefully this was just a random defect because it was a perfect little desk fan otherwise (cord is a good length, puts out a good amount of air, not too loud, doesn't rattle or move around). I appreciate the fast response :)

Got it for work, used 2 or 3 times and it was great, put it on a shelf for a few weeks, pulled it back out and now it won't turn on. Tried the usb on the computer and also tried my phone charger brick plugged into an outlet and nothing. Must be cheap wiring :(

I purchased this switch to put a timer on the fan in the bathroom, which would allow the fan to run and expel humidity for a selected period of time after someone leaves the bathroom.  The switch was delivered QUICKLY.  It appeared to be a very nice switch.  It was about 2 weeks before I got a chance to install it.  After installation, I was disappointed in the loud clicking noise it made.  I could not use it in the morning due to the fact that someone was still sleeping.  I was EVEN more disappointed after 2 additonal weeks when the switch failed to completely shut off (but clicked sporadically), causing the motor on the fan to start/stop fairly rapidly.  Obviously, the motor in the fan would have been destroyed in a short period of time.  I removed the switch.  I bought an Intermatic switch locally and installed it.  It is VERY quiet and has worked well thus far.  Only time will tell how long it will last, but at least I am optimistic.

The left earpiece broke after only 3 months.  I'm fairly certain that it is the internal connection of the wire to the earpiece because wiggling that wire caused sound to be heard intermittently a few minutes before it died completely.  I should mention that I did not abuse the headphones in any way and there is no apparent external damage.  Thus, this seems to be an internal failure that is simply a result of poor design or construction.

I should also mention that the "cord noise" for these headphones is extremely loud.  In other words, when no audio is playing, touching the cord of the headphones makes a very loud physically-amplified sound in the ears - much like a doctor's stethoscope listening to someone's breathing.  I did not find this sound to be a problem when listening to lively music or when not moving, but I found this extra sound to be quite distracting when listening to anything with quiet segments or when moving around.

I found the sound quality to be quite good and the shape of the ear pieces really works well for my ear canals, but I cannot recommend these due to the problems above.

I loved this cord for as long as it worked. It broke in about a month. The little plastic tab for holding it into my computer snapped off, even with the little rubber thing that is supposed to protect it. It didn't get snagged or used roughly either, just every day use while my computer was on my desk. :( Unhappy with this product and now I have to go buy a new one!

I waited until now, several months after purchasing this item, to ensure my review could be accurate. First off, you get what you pay for. This item's lights are bright and beautiful. I loved it  while it worked right. After 2 weeks of owning this product, the little click click click sounds became louder. The piece seemed to have trouble rotating, as if the burden of the glass figure on top was too much for it. It would stop and click loudly, then resume. This behavior worsened until it took up to a minute for the rotations to begin again. About a month after purchase, the item started making very loud sounds. Shortly after, the piece was unable to keep rotating. It completely stopped, though the lights still work, just are static now. I had assigned the loud noises to the rotation device, but when I unplugged the device and ran it off of batteries, the noise stopped. So the source of the noise must be the cheap plug. I would not purchase this piece again, though I liked how it looks and how lovely the lights are.

I replaced a red cord on a Cortelco phone with this and it lasted almost 4 months without issues, then it started to make clicky noises in the headset when moving it around.

Cord simply stopped working, and replacement requires $5.95 shipping?  No thanks.
