^ Refurbished buds and cans usualy have new earpieces and are chemically cleaned to the point where they're cleaner than the new ones you'd get from the factory... that is if they're refurbished at all, often manufacturers will get rid of factory surplus by calling them refurb/OEM/etc just to get rid of the inventory without diluting their regular full retail price point.
I've been using these headphones for about 4 years. My pair has about 350,000 air miles of use, and they've worked flawlessly. Best noise canceling of any in ear bud, no question. A great buy if you commute or travel - they seriously de-stress the trips.
Shmeagle: I've never seen any in-ear headphones lasting more than 8-10 months.
Sounds like a personal problem. I have multiple pairs of iem's that are more than a decade old. I also own a pair of QC 20's that live in my work backpack and are at least 3 years old. If you don't use them as cat toys or swing your phone around on the end of them (which, btw, is probably why your phones don't last more than 6 months) these will last a long time.

Same here...I've had mine about three years and they still work perfectly...these are amazing as far as noise cancellation on flights....and so easy to transport. I just ordered another pair because when I travel with my wife we both want to use these.....problem solved.
