This is now the second time I have had to replace my Beats due to the same exact issue. As you can see, the left arm has two cracks in it. This happened with my pair  before on exactly the same side and the previous time, the arm snapped completely exposing the wires. 

Do I use them heavily yes, I’m an anxious person, so I always have them with me in case I need a something to listen to, just to switch off for a little while. That being said, I’ve always looked after my things. They never get mistreated or thrown around, so I’m not sure why this keeps happening. As a £400 pair of headphones, you do not expect to have to replace them twice. 

This time around I was able to find a brand new pair on eBay for a very reasonable price and I’ve made the choice to put a silicone case on them, which will hopefully stop this from happening again. I’m sad about it though, because I got the Kim K ones specifically for the moon colour and I feel like the case takes the look from them completely, but if it saves my headphones, I suppose it has to be done 😩

Has anybody else had this issue? I think I’ve decided that these are my last chance of Beats. As much as I love them (and have done for years) if this happens again, I won’t be getting another pair.

I love my Beats, but they clearly don’t love me 🤣
