Every pair of earphones I've ever had breaks, which makes sense. But it seems to happen constantly, this most recent pair I've made last since like September, which is like a record for me. I hate when one side stops working and I'm left with only the other until I can get new ones, which takes days. I take care of them, don't tangle them, don't stretch them, don't drop them, don't wrap them tightly, yet this still happens a lot. Idk if it's just the normal life span or not, they're usually pretty high quality like the Apple ones or good Skullcandy ones, so I'd expect them to last longer.

Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?
Or how to maybe fix them when one side stops working?
