Wow, I'm kind of shocked to hear yours broke so quickly, I have 2 sets of them and they are both very well built IMO, but then again I have nothing to compare too as these have been my first 2 sets of them. Yes they are way comfy and the fact that they give you something like 4 different ear pieces esp the memory foam ones. Did you get yours replaced through their warranty? I think they offer a 1 year complete replacement and a lifetime of 50% off anytime over the 1 year? Like I stated I don't know anything of what their quality used to be, but I have but these 2 I have through hell and they haven't given out on me at all, but I also don't use them in any way where they could get damaged ie trashing down a mountain on a snowboard or anything
