I hate headphones so much -.-
Mine always brake so easily! I never buy the super cheap ones but I don't own a pair that's like £100 either...Maybe it's time to invest in some hmmm
If you wrap the cords around the device and bend the connection to the 3.5mm plug, one earphone is going to stop working eventually, and it's usually the right one.
Unplug them from the iPod/mp3 player/phone, then wrap them around.
Or make a loop like this so the connection doesn't get bent.
