Why is it always the right headphone that goes bad??

Hello,

Mods no need to put this in the audio forum - just a rant


I go through headphones quite frequently (they get tangled up in my bag I take to work). Most of the time the RIGHT headphone fails. Or it also gets distorted by my loose volume wheel on my mp3/cd player.

But this has happened on many headphones I've had in the past - faulty right side.

What gives??? Anyone else notice this??? I generally buy cheaper headphones but that might be part of it - but it seems to happen on many brands.

Isn't that the side the main cable is on? Never had that problem myself. I usually buy decent headphones.

Hello,

I don't know. That might explain it if that takes the most of the load.

I know I'm cheap.

Hello,

Ok I'm jacking my own thread for a minute.

Anybody here watched that Phil Hartman NBC show "talk radio"???(maybe it was News Radio).

There was one episode where somebody gave him a rap album and he really liked it. But then he got a new car or new radio and had somebody adjust it for him. Then he could actually HEAR the lyrics!! He had the bass all the way up.

He was going "Man that's RUDE!"

Andy Dick was also on the show (when he was sober) Hartman's character always called him "spaz"

It was News Radio and I've seen every episode of that show. Even when ti went downhill after Phil died.

Hello,

Flaystus - remember the one where the young boss played the video game arcade machine before his retake of the sat????

I loved it "the glory days before the 16 bit processor"
