@camoceltic In short, this is a common problem with those kind of headphones when they're made out of cheap and flimsy plastics that aren't really all that impact resistant. The ones that are metal and rubber/vinyl avoid this, but they're considerably more expensive.

@camoceltic They are intentionally made of poor materials and designed with things like heat stake sealing so they are unservicable, so you have to buy a new pair if they develop a fault, rather than just replacing a 29c capacitor or diode somewheres that went sad.
