Why did you buy replacements when Apple will happily replace them free of charge if they break?

The cost in fuel & time would be nearly the same for me. I guess I’m geographically disadvantaged.

It’s too late now. I’ve tasted the liberation of having no wire at all, and I’ll never go back.

I don’t think they will if the connector or cable has been physically damaged which is usually the case.

I have had at least 3 pairs replaced for free due to them physically falling apart. Sure you could argue I am rough with them but the reality is I don't treat them any worse than other earbuds I have that have lasted years. I still have the ones that came with Galaxy S2 or S3 so I feel Apple's are a bit too fragile.
