Query: DONT BUY. The rubber will disintegrate after 3 months

It has been stated over and over again. These headphones are great for the first couple months (this accounts for the great reviews) but the rubber around the wire WILL start to come off right after your 3 month warranty runs out. Its strange but true.Once again, RUBBER DISINTEGRATES AFTER 3 MONTHS.Read the reviews...it happens on both white and black. I have the black. The rubber is broke in 6 different spots and sticky. Unfortunately, Sony is not putting out a "support alert" on this product because they have not received enough calls on it from owners that have had this fail *within the 3 month warranty period*.
