I put some thought as to what the culprit was (other than poor manufacturing) and looked at the stupid little case I put it in. Every time I put it in the case the right piece's cord is bent a considerable amount to get around the triangular case. Continued use of the case will obviously weaken the wire to the point of detachment. I (like many others i'm sure) have located the box but not the receipt. So in my successful attempt to get a new pair, I had taken them to the store and bought another pair. Once outside of the store, I opened up the box and did a little "switcharoo". Came back to the store and got a refund, thus resulting in a new pair after the stores 30 day refund and without a receipt.
