    While these aren't the most expensive earbuds, I was disappointed with the fact that they stopped working after about two weeks. With Sony earbuds the problem (for me at least) seems to center around the volume control button. There is always short circuiting.

    After about 2 weeks of having the product, i started to notice the defects; I could no longer hear the other end of the call, and when I would it was very static. I no longer use them but also can't return them, as the nearest best buy is 2 1/2 hours away.
