I don't know, we don't use Amazon here. There is no problem with the seller himself, Shenzhen Audio are fine, I have ordered many more products from them in the past - while it's true that they might have been storing the product in a sketchy way, but that would probably be noticeable way sooner than what mine lasted.

80 dollars is quite the sum for some people. I wouldn't consider myself poor in any way, but still, 80 dollars is not a small amount of money to shell out on a hobby. While you can spread it out into value over time spent using the product, it's still not that cheap. I haven't used it that much, as I said, 200 hours isn't a lot. That's like.. I dunno, 2 months of commuting and office use? 80 dollar headphones usually last/should last (imo) way more than that. My old gaming Logitech headset would still be working now, if not for my dog running through them while I was vacuuming. The drivers would still be intact. I dunno man, think about it. We can't get used to products dying after a year.. Imagine the damn waste that would cause, the unnecessary spending, it's just dumb.

Yeah, you got a little lucky I suppose... but just to be clear - I am not trying to slander the Moondrop brand. Their products sound great when they work. It's all a big lottery, but still, there is a QC issue that shouldn't be ignored.

Edit: What /u/evscye said - I am the one that got unlucky. Better point of view.

I am sorry, but I guess we have different views about quality products.. Every product in EU has atleast a two year warranty, and a good headphone can pretty much last a lifetime. There is no reason for a driver to just die, there is an issue there. This feels like an ultra consumer mindset where people buy the same products frequently and don't care about actual quality (eg.shoes/clothes..)
