I ordered my 2nd pair after inadvertently sending it through my washing machine. Stupid me, only after placing my order I tried the old pair. Much to my surprise they not only worked but still sounded outstanding.

I bought these after replacing some JVC Air Cushion buds due to their cheap rubber casing on the cord. This one has tougher rubber and looks like it will last longer.

Philips/Nike knows how to make a comfortable ear bud - I just don't trust that it's durable anymore.
