I've had these h as phones for a little over two years and they had been great until the other day and now one ear isn't working. I think for the cost, they were awesome.

I bought these headphones 3-4 years ago and they were really good for the price. The sound was good and they fit my ears perfectly without any discomfort. They just recently started to fail in the one ear which is no big deal since they were only $6. I recently bought them again to replace the failing pair but the new pair is pretty awful. The sound is just bad, muffled like you are underwater. I can't really recommend them even for $6. The two star rating is for the product that I most recently ordered, not for the pair I had 4 years ago which were excellent (for the price).

They were great but after 3 months, only one side works.  They look like quality headphones but now i can hear music only from the left side. What a bummer.

loved them at first because they wouldnt go too loud to harm my daughters ears and worked great and fit great for my 3 year old but now theres a short already and can only hear out one side barely. stinks that i have to replace so soon, have had some cheaper ones last longer for me will go that route although these were pretty cheap considering the characters.

I purchased these headphones in April 2015. At first I loved them but more because I could wach TV without disturbing others in the house. The sound was very good and clear. The problems arose when the right speaker began to intermittently hiss and pop. I changed batteries and it still continued. I also noticed that ear pad pieces were really quite loose. This didn't bother me too much because at least they stayed on. The final straw though came when I rose from my chair and they slipped off my head and hit the carpet. The left earphone piece snapper completely off. I will look for a beter quality now.

My wife bought these for me after our first baby was born so when I play COD I can still have great sound but not to wake the baby. I treated these things well. Never mistreated them. When I wanted to use them I would carefully unwind them and when I was done would carefully wrap up the cord and put them away. Locked them away from my kids, never threw them on the ground (can't say the same for some controllers though) and after 2 years of use, one ear bud stopped working. I don't get it. One day it worked, next day it didn't. Pretty disappointing considering my care with them and the price they cost. Seem's like all electronics last a year or two then you spend another $100 dollars to replace. Skeptical about buying another set. Just disappointed...

These were great headphones, until the left side just stopped working!!!  I use them daily, and after just 8 months they stopped!!  I was really hoping they would prove to be better than some of Sony's cheaper sport headphones, but it seems they all have this problem where the left side just shorts out one day.

I bought these headphones summer of 2010.

Pros: The sound quality is fantastic, and the headphones are comfortable enough to wear for a couple of hours at a time. The cord is extra long (which can be a good or bad depending on your setup -- I found myself getting tangled in my chair more times than not).

Cons: After about a year, the headphones developed a 'short' where sound would cut out from the right ear. To fix it, I pinched/bent the cord where it connects to the headphones, but it's still an annoying problem that persists. After about two years, the plastic cracked on one side at the adjustable part of the headphones. I take pretty good care of the headphones (when not in use, they hang from a bar on my desk). I've noticed a few other reviews that have mentioned the plastic cracking after a year or two of ownership. I had to tape up the crack in order to wear them comfortably.

I would probably still recommend these headphones, but for the money I spent on them, I would have expected them to last a bit longer without physical/electrical problems.

I bought these headphones in August of 2010, and they were great! these headphones have great sound quality, a good amount of bass, and great aesthetics. Unfortunately, they broke after a few months, with sound only coming from one ear. V-moda has a nice policy allowing you to exchange your headphones for free, and so I spent the 5 dollars to ship it back to them. My second pair has now broken, only 3 months after it was replaced. These headphones look and sound great for the price, but its a shame they're so poorly made. I'm looking at other headphones from ultimate ears and nuforce, hopefully those have better build quality

One side stopped working, it is unfortunate they don't last more than two years.

I purchased three pairs of this style.  Initially they were pretty good but in less then a year all three pairs lost the knob that protudes. One pair broke where the plastic  connector connects to the head piece.  One pair  has lost so much volume it is difficult to hear.  A second pair has sound  in one ear and the third has no sound at all.

Big plus for this pair is that it is very comfortable on your head.

I should note I have a small metal work shop and the guys that use them are not delicate.  They're tough guys who are paying attention to what they're working on and not how delicate they treat their headphones.  I believe these headphones would be fine for not rough use.  Out of the box they're great. It's with time they start to disappoint.  If you get a pair be sure you take care of them.  Store them in a special spot, not in the tool box.

These used to be great. Good bass and clear. Now all of a sudden, one of the ear buds doesn't work. I. Only getting sound out of the left one. Was 5 stars, dropped down to 3... It's really 2.5

These headphones are great while they last.  I ordered these 2 years ago and one side of the headset has gone dead. Checked on replacement and found the price has gone up almost $30!  Not feeling the love for them at this point.  This happened to the last set too.

I bought these Nov 3, 2016 so it has not even been a year, they worked great until last week when the right ear side stopped working and now I find my self having to buy another pair from another brand. I am only writing this review because if you think they will last a long time I am sorry but they won't

I really want to give this product a higher rating, because these were one of the best earbuds i have ever owned. The sound is crisp and the bass is much better than any skullcandy ear buds I've used. I liked how you could customize the 'sound' with the caps and the tangle free cord (while not always tangle free) was nice.

Unfortunately, after using these ear buds for a whopping two days (not even two full day. Probably around 1.5, maybe even 1) the music coming from the left ear bud dropped in volume. And I was ok, well this is weird. Stopped using them for about 5 minutes and suddenly the volume was back? It's been fluctuating since then, and it gets a bit irritating.

I used these earbuds for two years and I took great care of them.  The left speaker stopped working just the other day and I think for $31 it should of worked alot longer than two years.

I originally bought these headphones about a couple of years ago for working out, that were not the type that you have to fit inside your ears (don't like them), were comfortable, stay put, and were worth the money (given the price). I paid a little over $40. About a year later, they stopped working, sound would only come through one side. I thought that it might have been me, or something else.

As I really liked how comfortable they were, I went ahead and bought another pair...silly me. About a year later (now) the same thing happened and they stopped working. Only one side would work. So this is certainly a manufacturing problem. I came back to Amazon thinking that I'd buy them again, but they increased the price to almost $55 (yes, I do remember how much I paid as I bought them twice) and don't think it's worth spending $55 for a pair of headphones I know won't last.
