a few months down the line, the loose hinge caused the plastic to deteriorate, to the point that the plastic starting chipping off and exposing the metal hingethen, the bluetooth started unsyncing from my phone and laptop, so, i sent them to beats for repair or replacement and beats refused to honor the warrantythey claimed that the cosmetic damage was too bad and they said they didn't know if the cosmetic damage caused the bluetooth to break or whether the bluetooth broke on its owneven when i explained that the cosmetic damage was also their problem, the rep told me that these headphones are solidly built and that he had never seen them come apart like this before.. however, i corrected him about that, and he did admit that they weren't solidly built, but he still claimed that there was no way for him to know whether i broke the plastic or the plastic broke on its ownnow, they want $200 to replace them.. cheaper than the $400 i initially paid, but in the end, they get to keep my broke ones, which they'll repair for $5 and resale for $400, and they get another $200 from me
