Ever since I got a MacBook and plug my headphones in, only a month or two later my headphones stop working on my computer then break a week or two later and won't work on my phone either. I talked about it with my friend and I'm not the only one. Does Apple do this on purpose?? Do I need to buy Apple headphone? (because they hurt my ears)
thanks

I have several Macs in the house and none have broken the headphones in the 6+ years they have been here . I have worked on Macs and Windows PCs since 1995 and the only times headphones broke was either due to bad design in the assembly on the headphones ( ie ...cheap ) or a power surge destroying the pc . Your headphone jack has a very low voltage coming from it that the audio signal travels with . That very low voltage is to power the speaker coils in the headphones . Some headphones have ic chips in them that have other functions but have their own voltage regulation built into them . This is of very insignificant voltage variation and shouldn't interfere with the signal of the audio . There is a standard of output signal and voltage limits every component manufacture abides by . Maybe your headphones are faulty , maybe your Mac might have a fault that needs to be checked out at an Apple Store but this is not normal from Apple or any manufacture to make their devices break accessories just because . Have you Mac inspected or use better accessories with it ( or any pc ) as you get what you pay for .
Nonsense.
Then how do you explain the fact that our headphones break when they are plugged in our macs? We do not use them for anything else but that.
Why does my macbook always break my headphones?
