The fit, the battery life, the sound, etc was wonderful while it lasted. Sadly just after the one year warranty has expired the left side has gone out. I have known for a while that the inner ring that holds the mesh covering the speaker is VERY prone to RUST. I have read reviews now that have had the same issue as despite what is dismissed as ear wax, it is rust and now resulted in failure of the left side. To be fair I have not approached the company or Best Buy as they one year warranty has expired now by a month (they actually failed two weeks ago). I have also seen the comments that this cannot happen as it is stainless. To confirm it appears the mesh is as it does not rust or discolor (which would also be the most logical place for wax to build-up). So if the ring is stainless it is a very low quality stainless and maybe should be made out of the same grade as the mesh. Just feedback from a runner who felt that he had found a durable pair of headphones. So if you do not perspire then these may last longer for you.
