Noise cancelling Headphones. SHB9850NC broke after 4 months of use.

<p>I have had many headphones over my life. This is because usually, the headphones break due to wear and tear after a year's worth of use. This brought me to the latest replacement set I bought.</p> <p> </p> <p>Four months ago I bought the Philips SHB9850NC at a hefty price. My reasoning was that at that price surely it will last longer than a mid-range headphones which usually lasted me more than a year. To my shock and horror, the headphones broke within four months. I could have bought a mid-range headset for four months for the same price I paid for these headphones.</p> <p> </p> <p>I took the headphone back to DionWire at Tygervalley. They informed me that it is unlikely to be fixed/replaced due to it being physical damage.</p> <p> </p> <p>I think this is shocking given that SHB9850NC is supposed to be the best Philips has to offer.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h1 class="a-size-large a-spacing-none" style="padding: 0px; margin-top: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; font-weight: 400; color: #111111; background-color: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0px !important; font-size: 21px !important; line-height: 1.3 !important;"> </h1>
