Ok, fine.

The oldest pair of headphones that I own that work is older than my usage of the Internet. The oldest pair of headphones I own that I still use regularly I bought for college - and that was a long time ago.

Assuming that everyone treats their equipment as though it's disposable is frustrating to me. Some of us use our gear for a very long time, and in the case of something as mundane as a 3.5" jack, expect to be able to.

I take great care of my headphones, because they're such an important part of my life. I use them 90% of every day.

I have never had a pair of headphones last for more than 2 years. Almost every time it's because the cable gets worn out from rubbing against the inside of my pocket.

A lot of people have nicer headphones with removable cables though.

Yeah, I had a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones like that.

The left speaker stopped working after 6 months of every day normal use.
