Tips on keeping iPod earbuds from damaging?

[eye see soles]

I love my iPod earbuds so much so that I can't use any other. I love how it gets a great volume, bass, and eliminates enough noise.

I'm not a fan of how fragile they are. I swear I run through a pair every two months.

How can I prevent this?

No one tells you this but the truth is you can't keep them from breaking, so just be prepared when it does happen.

Damn.

I need to invest in a pair that won't let me down.

QFT. Iphone headphones are weak as hell seriously. The best OEM headphones that quite decent are the BLACKBERRY OEM headphones. If you can get those, trustyou'll will think otherwise of your so called "loved headphones"

Apple is whack word to my ipod I can only listen to in one ear cause the headphone jack is messed up. smh

Man I the Ipod earphones suck, they don't even stay in the ear very well not to mention they are cheap as hell.

You already said you love your bass, so stay away from those. Etymotic products are known for being bass shy in the "quantity" sense,where they're not going to produce a ton of bass to blow your head off. Rather they're more focused on bass "accuracy" or "quality"where the notes from bass instruments sound good, but aren't particularly loud in comparison to the other parts of the noise spectrum. Not particularlygood for electronic/hip hop where there usually aren't too many different bass notes being hit.

If you want to stay on a low price, look at the JVC Marshmallows or Air Cushions which should be below $30. The Shure SE series is good, but the lowest modelclocks in at around $100. The CrossRoads Mylarone X3i and XBi are also very good, but they're sold from a shop in Singapore so I understand if people are abit skeptical. I use the X3i currently and love them.

Oh, and stay away from the V-Moda Vibes please. They're not that great and have some quality issues, or at least they did (Head-Fi soured on them after theinital "these are pretty cool!" stage between the sound quality and broken pairs).
