Good for a bit, but they WILL BREAK

I really wish these headphone were better than they are. Everything is great about them, other than they keep failing on me... I tried to overlook this, but after buying 5 sets in the last 5 months, I just can't justify it anymore. My issue is that when they encounter a static charge (ie. nothing more than rubbing against my sweater) eventually the electronics inside will fry. They either won't be recognized by my phone at all when plugged in or when plugged in they will start acting erratically and the volume will go up and down, the songs will skip forwards and backwards, and the Google Assistant will be triggered. This starts happening immediately once plugged in. There's nothing I can do about it. They are essentially a waste at that point. And I can't stress this enough — it wasn't once or twice. This has happened to every single pair I've owned. The price point, the sound quality, and the build of the other components are all excellent. But something about the electronics keeps getting frazzled by nothing more than normal use. Sorry Monoprice...
