Review title: Second pair of MDREX81LP earbuds goes kaput! Thanks, Sony!
Product review: There are two good reasons NOT to buy these headphones: 1) they may very well fail without cause, as two pairs I've own have failed; and 2) SONY is so contemptuous of their customers that they offer to replace your defective $30 headphones with a `reconditioned' pair for $25. What a deal!Do yourself a favor before buying: consider my experience with SONY repair. I mailed in my bum buds - the second pair that failed - but I objected to SONY's pricing. Surely they have a better deal to offer? Nope. SONY shipped back my buds complete with torn packaging and internal routing crap. Oh - and they invited me to get back to them: "It would be our pleasure to accept a major credit card."I bet: $25 for used headphones with no cut to the retail middleman. This is SONY standing behind its product. "You're on your own, sucker."
