I was so impressed with these Denon's that I ordered another pair for my wife straight away.

No sign at all of them perishing or breaking whatsoever. I don't look after them at all either as they were only £17. I fling them onto my desk or throw them loose into my bag all the time.
Prepare for them to go duff pretty soon... probably like this:

I just had another pair of Sennheisers fall apart on me (actually, they developed a loose connection at the jack so the sound to one ear started cutting out).

Registered 9 years agoThey'll replace them for you, if you got them from an authorised reseller. (Actually, they say that your guarantee is with the reseller for the first year, and with the company for the second. You'll need the receipt, and I hear it's all sorts of fun trying to get a refund or replacement out of play.com. Also amazon and play resellers, so if you got a nice deal on your sennheisers from a play.com marketplace seller, like I did, then you'll probably need to suck it up and get new headphones like I did).
However, if you did get them from an authorised dealer and kept the receipt, I hear sennheiser are pretty decent about replacing your phones. -

Registered 6 years agoIt's great that they might replace them but after having the jack desintegrate after 6 months of use (twice) they can keep them quite frankly. I also hated the fact that they made the wires out of some ultra grippy rubber that yanked them out my ears if i so much as looked at them.
Bought my Klipsch S4s off of ebay, reputable UK seller came in all the retail packaging ect and at £36 les than half of RRP
.
EDIT: To go into more depth about the falling apart of my sennheisers. The first pair the metal jack stayed in the ipod and the rubber jack part came away, leaving a lovley big ream of wires trailing out. This was annoying but i duck taped it back together (the jack was comically large so plently of tape was applied). Just after this worked for about 4 weeks the sound totally died on them and they were binned. The second identical pair (should have learnt my lesson) managed to last a while longer but the crappy rubber cover split where the metal jack was and it literally just fell to pieces. They were swiftly binned and the klipsch ordered. -

Registered 6 years agoI had an old pair of Sony in ear hadphones that I LOVED for years and years, they only stopped working after I dropped them in a puddle. They wearn't the best sounding headphones I've ever had but they were comfy and sturdy. -

My previous pair of nigh-identical sennheisers laughed off my rough treatment for over a year and never faltered (I ended up mangling them completely in a way that was entirely my own fault).Tomo wrote:

Registered 10 years agoLooking for a pair and it's like a minefield. I don't know were to start. So many to choose from and headphones are rubbish quality or the fakes are making the rounds going from reviews.
Looking on Amazon it seems like fake city going by the prices and reviews. 10-20 quid for Sennheiser's. Not worth the risk is it ?
What's a sure thing on quality built in ear headphones for about £20 ?
Not a harsh sound quality critic either.

I go swimming twice a week, constantly get water in my ears, and get pretty bored whilst doing it. I recon some underwaterrrr muuuusic could be the solution. -

Registered 9 years agoNot an answer to Zerobob's question, just a mention that I've had the SE115's for a few days now and I'm really pleased by the sound quality (even using the rubber tips rather than the foamy ones that freak me out a bit). I'm still getting used to the way the wire loops over the top of the ear, which might also be a sticking point for people used to more standard in-ear headphones, but I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to spend a bit of money on in-ear jobs.

Registered 8 years agoyep those shure 115s for 52 quid are a bargain.
Don't mind the overear stuff quite as much, but would prefer an asymettric cable type so one bit can go behind my neck. -

Registered 10 years ago+1 from me, too - been using Shure's for four years now and couldn't go back.
Although weird at first, looping them over my ear makes perfect sense now, too - keeps them nice and secure and a minor tug (fnar) on the cable doesn't lead to them coming loose.
The first couple of pairs of EC2/SE110's I had developed faults at around the eight or nine month mark, so I think they have a deserved reputation for suspect build quality. However, my current pair of SE110's are going strong at a year old and I use them at least 5 days of the week. -

Shockingly good value if you're happy to go with pink.
I was (I'm in touch with my feminine side) and they're actually not as girly as you'd think. More neon pink than baby if you know what I mean.When you can't see the angles on the wall you're in trouble.

Registered 8 years agoI think mine were also from advancemp3 but via amazon marketplace - though they seem to have disappeared now.
I also use iheadphones.co.uk a lot, but i've heard various people slagging them off - but i've bought like 3 or 4 pairs from them with absolutely no issues. -

Or these Shure's (although I'm worried they may be fake for that price).
Oh, they're pink. Not those then. Only black, silver or white for me. -
