Review title: Sound great, then fall apart
Product review: UPDATE: Six months after my last review, and after Sony sent me a replacement for the last earbuds whose wires became exposed, the right ear on my new earphones died. Because my two previous Sony earphones were fragile, I only wore this pair at work and never put them in my pocket or looked at them with malice. They sounded great for a while, but then gradually got quieter and, now, monural. If two to six months is a good life span for earphones, these are for you.As noted in other reviews, these earphones sound really good, but the cord starts to disintegrate after a month. My first pair were white, and when they fell apart, I returned them to Target. I hoped that the problem effected only the white earphones, so I bought a black set in Nov. 2005. By the end of Jan. 2006, the wires became exposed as the rubber-ish coating fell apart. I'm sending them back to Sony for replacements, but I would rather have bought a set of earphones that would last longer than eight weeks.
