Failed after ~2.5 years

Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical

Pros: Feels good in hand. Buttons and scroll wheel don't feel cheap.

Cons: Failed after 2 years and 5 months. It loses its connection and then is re-detected every 10 or so seconds. Does this on any USB port and on 2 different computers. The USB plug is clean inside and the cable isn't loose at the plug or mouse.

Overall Review: Would have been 5 stars if it didn't break so soon. I have never had a mouse fail before, even after 10+ years of use. I will disassemble it to see if I can fix it, but obviously I should not have to do this.

Disregard previous review

Sennheiser PX100 3.5mm Connector Supra-aural Open Dynamic Stereo Mini Headphone

Pros: I just left a review stating that my left speaker broke after 3 months. I had removed the foam from the speaker previously to see if I could see a problem. I just looked more closely under a lamp and there was an accumulation of hair on the membrane inside the earpiece. The speaker of the earpiece is directly exposed under the foam covering and there is a spirally corrugated membrane here. This allows hair to very easily penetrate directly into the sound mechanism since the foam is so porous. I removed the hair with tweezers from my swiss army knife and it has returned to its previous function, sans vibration.

Cons: The people who engineered the speaker must have determined that having it protected only by the foam was the best way to make it, but it allows hair inside extremely easily.

Overall Review: If you are having speaker problems, check for hair passage through the foam.

Broke after 3 months

Pros: Have good sound, well-made, attractive design.

Cons: The left speaker started to exhibit very annoying vibrations which hurt my eardrum after 3 months. This was with moderate use without dropping them or jostling them. The speaker just failed.

Great

Pros: Burns fast. Was cheap. Looks nice.

Cons: None

Overall Review: When I first installed it I couldn't boot from it with any boot disk for some reason even after selecting it repeatedly as the first boot device and trying different SATA ports. I later reset the CMOS and reinstalled windows and it began working after that.
