The left earpiece of my Beats earphones stopped working. I haven't even had them for a full year. Meanwhile, the Marley earphones I purchased 2.5 years ago are still going strong. Never. Again.

Same thing happened to mine - earbud just stopped working after maybe 8 months.
Audio-Technica recently got into the headphone game, and their mid-range stuff seems pretty decent. I used Sennheisers for a while, but after repeatedly losing all of the rubber tips, I decided to go with something less costly. After trying some cheaper options that sounded genuinely terrible, I found a pair of Audio-Technicas at HiMart for like 30K KRW, and they sound... pretty good. Not as good as the more expensive stuff I was using before, but definitely better than anything I've tried in that price range or cheaper.I do still have a fancy schmancy pair of Sennheiser over-ears to use at home, but I it's gotta be earbuds when I'm out and about.

Hassle of administering them? The supposed futiliy of the whole thing?I don't mind them at allHaving to administer them to too many students in a very short period of time, which results in monotony and a deterioration of my soul. It's boring and tedious, and, ultimately, a pointless exercise in memorization and not on actual conversation. I get the rare 2-3 students per semester who make it interesting.

I especially like the ones who come in the day before their class asking for a study guide.

Students:"What?What? Teacher can we do our stop motion here?"Me: "Yes, of course."Korean teacher: "Do you know stop motion? How do you know stop motion?"Me: "because I have an IQ above 10"Why? How, would I not know what stop motion is?

Perhaps it is uniquely Korean; much like four seasons and a mother's love for her children.
