How many pairs of headphones have you broken?

So I think this is a valid question, how many pairs of head phones have you gone through? I swear I've gone through like 14 or so, probably 6 of them are them damn apple headphones.
So how many have you gone through?
Post your answer as a reply to this post.

Say what you like about apple headphones but they are the only ones I've used for about 5years and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Never broken a pair but worn plenty out.

too many to count

Too many but thats about only 4 anyway
Max. (From my Galaxy 2)

I Can't remember the exact number, but all my previous ones are bad quality.

None.
Perhaps it's gods way of telling you to invest in better headphones? My Shure SE530 set are still good after four years.
The Sennheiser HD650 i use at home will last a lifetime without breaking, but then i look after my stuff!

Wow they're nice, but i dont think even them will stand up to how mine are broke (Accidental chewing of them, and washing machine

Perhaps not as nice as the Grado RS1 i used to own, but i had to sell those.*
I have a pair Of Senn HD595 just sitting in my drawer gathering dust too. A bit of a waste really.
* Another of life's ironies. (Or punishments). I sold the Grado's when i desperately needed cash for food. Took the money to pay into the Bank and crashed my car on the way. Car was a write off. Ended up worse off, (no headphones and no money), and had to run to and from work, six miles a day, for two years.
Whatever i did wrong in a former life, i've been punished enough already!

Mine get mangled working on the farm, so I buy cheapos for work and have one good pair for everywhere else.

I have two daughters, and I'm not a man that prays, but I hope they out-live me. They deserve to out-live me.
Kind of a strange aside....
The last big show I played with a touring band was Aug 11th, 2006...just a few days after you lost your sister.
My second daughter was born Aug 11th, 2010. Aug 11th has become a big day for me.

Honestly, if I had a boy, I'd end my own life.
I am well suited to be a girl-dad.
This belongs in the confession thread, but the reality is...I can't stand my nephews.
I've created a bit of a rift in my family because of it.
Weird, because I grew up with two brothers, no sisters.
I love having daughters. I respond better to the emotions they display.
My nephews just bully and punch everything around them and it stresses me the hell out.

My nephews suck.
My six year old is basically an adult. Handles all her business and does her thing. My two year old has a glass of milk at bedtome and I set her in her crib and she goes to sleep on her own. Almost too easy. Both kids go to bed at 8pm, and they both sleep through the night. They always have.

Never leave anything of value in sight of an oppertunistic thief, who happens to take a glance inside your motor, as he moseys down the street.
In your case this does not seem to have worked.
Instead leave the back seat a total tip of useless crap. Old newspapers, empty candy wrappers and soft drink cans. He will think you are an utter slob, therefore having nothing of worth, and instead move on down to the nice neat and tidy car in front.

It was a PICKY robber like he took the case of the ipod he had stolen which means he had time and wasnt worried. Yes my next day was better thanks guys

I've been there and it sucks. I had my window busted out and they stole my GPS. Luckily a neighbor heard them bust the window and turned the light on. That scared them off and kept them from taking my backpack which had my laptop and school stuff. I would have been screwed big time cause I had a presentation to do that day at school and if they would have taken the laptop I would have tracked those idiots down myself.

[DROP TEST] Gizmo Slip Drop Test Nexus 4

In this drop test the phone survives 2 falls from 4 ft and bounces a few cm. I don't understand why we have some many people complaining about the back, even my phone survives two falls from 2 to 3 ft without case, no a little scratch :S , maybe I'm just lucky... Mmm I don't think so,
Like many other phones the phone doesn't survive face down fall
BTW love this phone. Although I have the little buzzing and rattle, not big deal
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGXR2iznbeg

C'mon, provide us a bit of insight into what's in the video. XDA isn't a link sharing website. Do you have an opinion? How does this compare to the half a dozen other drop tests that have been posted?

So..... The back survives a a 4 foot drop but yet we have people "supposedly" having theres crap by just setting it on a counter top...

It survived 2 out of 3, which was better than I had expected. The one that did it in (face down) was brutal; it landed flat on the face.

It's called karma especially for the people who buy N4s when they become available for sale just to sell it again on eBay to maximize their profits.
You would say the same exact thing if you didn't have a N4. I personally have one but I'm not selfish like some people here and put myself in OTHER people's shoes as the General forum of N4 is filled with SHIPPING Threads rather than the actual phone experience itself hands on.

Jealous? I don't think it's necessary a sense of jealousy. It's more of a problem with Google's inventory and people aren't getting what they wanted to give as a present, or whatever it may be as N7, N10 is having inventory problems as well. I'm done arguing about this though, I can tell that you're already an arrogant person and just don't get what I was saying. Again, I already have one but many people do not due to inventory problems.
Good day sir.

Now you're personally attacking me? You're assuming a lot. Karma. I look at out this way. A drop test gives one an idea of what kind of protection one may need. More like taking one for the team, IMO.

I broke mine on the first drop. Slipped off the table during dinner last night, bunch of cracks in the bottom left corner on the back, and front half has one long crack that has made half the touchscreen useless. Sucks. So disappointed, gone back to Galaxy Nexus. I don't have the heart to buy a new one if it's going to break this easily. I can't even count how many times I dropped my Galaxy Nexus with no issue.

Man, that's harsh.

Atrix HD Off Topic

I'd smoke here if I could. I'm stuck in my room on the 4th floor and the windows are screwed shut with torx 15 security heads. There's a $1000 fine if caught smoking on the property of any hospital in the state of Arkansas...technically any tobacco use, but smoking is what's targeted.
MRSA sucks.
Should get out Friday or Saturday and my focus is going to shift to the Lapdock and Webtop. Stock, custom... I don't care, I just want to use my dock.
