I knew that it was a matter of time before my head phones finally broke, but after two and a half years of heavy usage my Shure e2c head phones have developed a tear in the right headset wire. It’s not shorting out, but I guess I’d prefer not to take my chances since the wire is exposed 
So what does this mean?
Option A: I suppose I could get them repaired right? Well, upon checking out Shure’s support policy because they’re greater than two years old, it’s $49 to get them repaired. For that cost, if I can find them on the market or on eBay, I would pay about $55, so it would basically be the same as buying a new pair. Oh and by the way, the e2c, they’re no longer being manufactured so it’s off to eBay to find them.
Option B: Go ahead and get my Christmas / Birthday gift that I’m giving myself a little early and order a pair of the SE530s off of eBay. Granted, you might call them a little overkill, but being an audiophile, I like my music to be pristine.
Option C: Give my iPod Touch to a friend of mine and no longer use headphones for when I’m listening to music.
What to do…
