I like these. They've worked quite well for me. If you don't need the remote, you can get the S4 for cheaper, I've seen them for $40 when on sale.
I've actually looked at and considered getting these(the ones without the remote), but some of the horror stories in the reviews about them breaking easily and not being able to use the warranty to replace them cause they bought them on Amazon(don't know what other store would carry these) and this particular model is discontinued, kinda put me off a little(which isn't hard to do as much of a penny pincher as I am XD). Are these complaints founded or just the occasional fluke?
Mine have proved quite durable, had them for about a year, no tearing on the strain relief, no exposed wires, no audio problems. They usually stay on my desk or in my ears, but occasionally I'll accidentally tug (violently) them out of my ear. They appear to have sustained no damage. The only difference between mine and the new model is the cable, they switched to a (supposedly) more durable ribbon cable.
Well, now I got 3 different people vouching for these things and how good they are, haha. Any idea of a physical store that might still carry these? Only thing that comes to mind for me, is Best Buy. I figure it'd be easier to work stuff out with the warranty if I ever do have trouble with em, if I buy from a physical store rather than an online one.
