    2.0 out of 5 stars Works, but breaks. 16 Oct 2010
    + Works

    - Breaks easily within a week or two (I bought 3 and each had the same fate)
    - Hook to clip onto tie/shirt is weak.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Could have been nice, but breaks too easily 17 May 2010
    I have had two of these.

    The first set failed where the cable meets the 3.5mm connector after less than a month, as Griffin did not design in enough strain relief.

    The second set failed in the same way.

    The clip also broke off very quickly, probably the first or second time I caught the cable on a door handle.

    Ther product therefore gets a FAIL, which is a shame as it was otherwise a nice product.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Works but too fragile - but better than others 22 April 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    I'm on my third of these now, and I'll be buying more. Why keep buying them if they fail? Well, I've tried most of the other similar products that are around the same price or cheaper and this is much better - while it works. On average, the ones I've had have lasted about 6 months of use almost every day before failing where the cable joins the jack plug. I'm trying an experiment with my current one of wrapping this clearly sensitive area with duct tape while it's new to see if that extends the life any.

    When they've failed, I've looked to see about repairing them myself, but the wires used is so fine that it's proved impractical and is also no surprise why it fails so easily. This skimping in this one aspect is a pity as otherwise, it's a great product - if only it took a bit more wear...but I'd still recommend it as the best choice, just budget to replace it fairly regularly

    UPDATE: I have now ordered my 5th an 6th of these in anticipation of the 2 I have now failing so as not to be without one when they do. To clarify, I have tried 6 or 7 different makes of similar devices and won't be ordering any of the others again, even ones which still "work"
