I've been through three sets of ear buds, and they've all failed before the battery did... but if they're offering replacement parts closer to cost, then it would be an improvement. I got an expensive pair of Sony Earbuds and they were absolutely fantastic, but I did warranty replacements on them twice and the last one had a case that started to melt from overheating.... to replace the case was about half the price of a new set.
