So besides the fact that I had to travel to the far ends of the Earth to get these new earphones for my iPod, I got them for free care of Apple.
My warranty is almost up and I managed to get a new iPod out of them a few months back. So, considering my warranty is running out next month, I thought I may as well invest in a new pair of headphones!
Very simple process actually – they will send you the new headphones without even receiving the old ones back right away. They do give you a time limit (like 3 weeks) to send back your defective ones or they charge you $23.
Two thoughts come to mind here:
1) Apple warranty is pretty good about their cheap-ass earphones. I mean, your dog could eat your earphones and as long as they are on warranty, they will replace them. In my case, I simply indicated that the left phone cut in and out sporadically and voila, a new set sent my way!
2) Even if I didn’t return my old ones, $23 seems like a cheap price to pay compared to the $39 that is charged for a new pair. Granted, you have to be under warranty.
Anyhow, in the end, I must admit that I think the iPod headphones suck anyhow for their sound quality, but there’s no wrongdoing with owning a new pair.

just wait until I get you a pair of wireless ones.
Will they be waterproof? 😉
don’t get replacements on ebay.
Sure they are cheap, but they are knockoff’s and poorly constructed to boot.
I got a pair of Sony earbuds and my iPod sounds so much better now!
yeah…I’m thinking of just switching. I found some old Panasonic ones in my drawer and they even sounded better.
