Query: Good headphones... but not for active users!

I was very pleased with these earbuds when I received them, and wrote a couple of favorable reviews in different forums. Great sound for the price, easy fit, stylish appearance. But they are not a good purchase for an active user.After less than two months of use the base of the chord started to pull apart causing as short in one ear. I assumed it was a defective pair and had V-moda exchange them.I've now had the replacement pair for 6 weeks and the same thing has occurred. I presume this is due to the strain caused by regular use when running/exercising.V-Moda has agreed to replace again, but I have not reason to believe the next pair will fare any better - and the hassle associated with the exchange is certainly not worth it. Find a different brand if you like to use your headphones when exercising (as a point of reference, I never had any issues using standard iPod headphones).
