1. That used to piss me off about the early Sony series with remote control. When the earphones gave out (as they eventually did - although not after at least a couple of years so good on ya Sony for durability), I couldn't plug in another set without specially ordering them - at cost - or forgoing the remote control. And now they're bringing it back. The bastards.
