my apple buds have gone through many stages now that the rubber on it's cord broke. at first it would wildly input commands when the wire moved, was very annoying when walking or biking to work. Then it lost about 10% volume. This week it's fine, the input commands have stopped, I'm now only expecting the inevitable, the left earbud stops working, the same doom as all of my previous apple buds.
and its so funny, because when im actually @ work and have them plugged into my laptop instead, they work perfectly fine, because there are no input commands available. I have looked around a bunch but you can not disable them for your iPhone, thus being unable to have the same fix on them. it blows ASS
