Well Its been a month and the right speaker died. I was just listening to a podcast on my Ipod and the right one quit came back a couple of times. It still works now but it's probably about 1/10th the volume of the left one. I tried messing with the cord all along it to see if there was a bad connection somewhere but could not get any different sound. Glad I didn't pay any money for these, I think I will stick with my Ultimate Ears. I've been using those for over a year daily with no problems. The monsters lasted just over a month.
