Title: Favorite Headphones ever...until they broke out of warranty
Review: Etymotics made a fantastic sounding pair of headphones. I bought mine several years ago. Last year however, one of the channels started to cut out, so i sent it back to etymotics and despite being out of warranty they sent me a new pair. This new pair was great...until it too broke. I checked on several audiophile forums and this appears to be a design flaw with the ER-6i's, there is essentially nothing protecting the soldered connections, so natural wear eventually will cause them to fail prematurely. This time when I called Etymotics they told me that I would be able to buy a new pair for the discounted price of $75... the price of a new pair on Amazon. Thanks but no thanks, I'd prefer to spend my money on a quality set that will last more than a 12 months.
