As much as i'm pleased by it's superb sound quality, i'm very disappointed with the built quality for starters the shirt clip in the back caused the cable insulation to rip then the push buttons rubber just came loose and lastly wire to ear-bud connection opened up

As you can see by my picture the rubber on the volume control is falling out and the rubber around the headphone and power button is falling off

All the rubber on the earbuds is falling off

Had for a little over a year and the rubber around the headphones started to fall off

The rubber along the right ear bud has started to warp and come up from around the ear bud

The logo pieces falling off, the (black) soft rubber housing around the earbuds seems to stretch and threatens to fall off as does the soft rubber volume control cover.

(I'm sure it's my fault), the rubber bushings from the ends started sliding on the cord, the volume control came apart and the rubber around the ear pieces started to lose shape.

However, in 4 short months, the rubber that is used to cover the earbuds, and remote control have warped and become extremely loose

But after some time, the rubber peels off, and when you think of repairing it with Superglue, you find the rubber is already loose and cannot stick properly.

These have a very comfortable rubber fitting that lets them sit IN your ears and stay in

Then the rubber surrounding the buds loosened and fell off with the rubber buttons only getting harder and harder to press

The control piece as well is also poor as the rubber on that has come apart as well

The rubber loosens and the little piece that sits under the on/off tab falls out!

All the rubber is falling apart

The triangular rubber that holds the bud onto the inset of the earlobe started breaking after a little over a year

I love R&B, Pop and Classical music and these headphones really brought the music alive.
