Very Irritating
Well, my shiny new Sony headphones lasted all of one week before the rubber hanger sheared off of the plastic mount on the left-side earpiece. And it’s one of those irreparable small-electronics breakages that suggests inefficacy for super glue or any other remedy.
I think I’m going to “mod” the headphones by using wire cutters at the Y-junction where the source-facing cable splits into left and right, making a one-ear (right-only) setup.
I would classify the failure as being within the realm of “normal wear-and-tear” operation. It’s basically the same way my other headphones of this type failed, and I’m at a loss now.
Therefore, death to Sony. I add this set of much more robust-looking headphones to my wishlist.
Bah.
