I never do this but……….
…I”m endorsing a product. Do you have an iPod or MP3 player? Yeah, of course you do. Do yourself a favor, grab those crappy headphone ear buds that came with it and toss them into the trash. NOW!! Okay now surf over to HeadRoom.com and buy some decent monitors. They have an awesome selection of cans. If you”ve never heard a really good set of headphones, and really, most people haven”t, do yourself a favor and get some. It”s a great listening experience. I have like 4 different pairs myself. I have the Bose for airplane travel, which are crappy as stand alone headphones but the noise cancelling cures a lot of sins. I have some expensive Sennheisers and some top level AKG“s I use all the time. I also have ear buds for biking or walking around when I don”t want to be bothered. Oh, wait, here”s where the endorsement comes in. Buy a pair of Shure headphones!!! I have a pair for my Nano:
But…horror of horrors!! Something happened. They broke. Well, one broke. Well, didn”t break but got all fuzzy. Maybe I broke “em. They weren”t giving me their normally crystal clear, stunning, muy excellente sound. I was pissed. Furious. Then I called up the kind folks at Headroom.com and asked them if I had any recourse at all. I had pretty much resigned myself to being the dumbass who”d killed a pair of $300 phones…but then. Then… Happy Day!!! They informed me of Shure”s most excellent warranty policy. I sent off my headphones and ala-kazam about 10 days later I had a BRAND NEW pair of phones:
Not a refurbished pair, but a BRAND SPANKIN” new pair of phones, in the original box, no hassles, no charge. Who does that these days? Really? Almost nobody. Except Shure. So buy Shure phones. You won”t regret it. They guarantee it!!

Wow that’s pretty awesome, how long did you have them for before they broke?
I wonder if the $19 sony headphones I got from wallmart carry such an exceptional warranty !? But they haven’t broken so I probably won’t get to find out.

This comment begs for the new plug in in Firefox 2.0 - the Sarcasmo-meter.

haha, right you are sir, but seriously how long did you have them. I’m in the market for some new headphones for my Zaurus.

A little more than a year of wearing them at least once a day biking, napping, etc. The thing it it’s not the durability that you’d buy these for but the stunning sound.
