Re: That vendor's track record for reparability is miserable
Well, John Robson, you can throw $1,000 into my circular file once every three years, if you like. I won't mind in the least :-)
(I still have a fully functional set of Koss cans from the mid 1970s. They sound one hell of a lot better than these Apple thingies, and have cost a couple bucks per year. No batteries required, and no landfill threatened.)
