A few months ago, I was at the airport just casually waiting for my flight back home from college, listening to music via my headphones. I pause the music for a second when it's time to board the plane and get in my seat. I go to play the music.. and... nada. It doesn't work. So I'm on a 1.5 hour flight home with absolutely nothing to do and I was damn near gonna kill myself

You should always buy more than one pair just in case.

I rarely use earphones outside, it makes me feel awkward, I just use them when I'm on the PC. Recently my PC headphones broke and Im using my phone's earphones on my PC my ears hurt so much after a while. I need to buy a new set of headphones

gorl, im not that poor.

i just buy better pairs

Tell me about it. My rabbit has chewed up two of my iPhone chargers and my laptop charger. I anticipate headphones next.

My Klipsch Image S4's are still trucking after 4 years, I always put them in the carrying case and wrap them neatly without bending the connections.

i just sob in a corner until my imaginary sugar daddy supplies me with one

I bought mine 3 months ago and last week it broke and thank God for warranties because I just had them replaced a couple of days ago

Its always the worst when one side stops working

I always bring an extra pair with me.

Most of mine just do the classic one ear. When they work in one but not the other. That's when I know it's time for a new pair.

What about when it's not your headphones... and its actually your phone that is broken.

My headphones jack in my computer is broken, even worse

i need to start investing in backup pairs.
