What or how is the best way to keep and maintain earphones?

Question

I really need help with this.. I've owned countless pairs of earphones in my life and they all get spoilt after 2-4 months. By spoilt I mean, one earphone always stops working. Also, how do you keep and maintain earphones, so that the cotton doesn't keep falling off? I just got a new pair of earphones and I need to know how to take care of them...

Answer 1

This happened to me too. Sometimes its the brand that causes the ears to blow out quickly. The best way to maintain it is after use to wrap the cord around the mp3 player or Ipod to prevent tangles or the risk of stepping on it. Its also best to use a seperate carrying case, a lot of earphones come with those now.  To keep my cotton I take a small dot of crazy glue put it on the edge and they dont come off. Also try not to listen to your music too loud that can blow them out. Boise earphones tend to last the longest.
