Earphone Troubles?

[curiouswonderer]

I've got a sansa c100 that ive had for about a year now. Throughout this year, Ive gone through at least 5 pairs of earphones. The earphones all seem to just suddenly stop working, i have no idea why. The earphone it self looks fine, but no sound comes out when i plug it in...Most of the earphones are ones that i have been using before with no problems, yet when i use it on the sansa, it always stops working after a while. I'm just wondering if it could be the player itself thats causing this problem, or do I just have really crappy earphones/luck?

How long do you have the headphones before they they stop working? What brand of headphones, too?

[curiouswonderer]

I've had it for about a year...
They're the earphones that come with the psp, and ipod ones (I had two pairs, they both broke)

Did you test the phones on any other player besides the c100, after they crapped out?

[curiouswonderer]

I have now....but it still doesnt work...

Hmm... maybe the best for you would be getting a decent pair of Sennheiser CX300. Not that cheap, but they come with 2 years of warranty.

[curiouswonderer]

umm....how much is "not that cheap"?
because im only 15 and i dont have that much money to spare

you can buy some jvc ones they run about 10.00 bucks the are gummy i love them i have had them for about 4 mouths with no problems~!

Yea...the problem is that ive also had the earphones ive been using for about a year, but it only stopped working after i plugged it in the sansa. Im sorta worried that if i buy another pair of earphones, the same thing will happen. Anyone knows WHY this happens?
