These were the second pair of beat solo's that I bought and they are the second pair that has broken on me. The right ear stopped working within a year of me getting the pair with my MacBook Air student package. Quite frankly im fed up with beats and even when I treat them with care and always put them back in the case somehow they always break down on me. I believe I deserve a new pair due to my two pairs both breaking on me and stop functioning within a year.
