Query: Sounded great when they worked

Received earbuds in early May 2008. Near the end of June, only one earpiece would work, or they would not work at all. I only used these casually while at work, so it's not possible they were worn down or otherwise blown out. I have tried my husband'sSkullcandy Smokin' Buds Ink'd Earphones - Redearbuds and, while not as comfortable, I'd rather buy a product that will last longer than 60 days. I would say the sound is comparable or slightly better than Skull Candy.
