I've never had problems with Sony. I have several over-ear headphones (from
cheap to expensive) and in-ear buds. All work just fine and sound great. 

None have ever failed. Not to say that Sony headphones are indestructible. 
Just reporting my experience. The main problem with over-ear headphones is
that the foam pads eventually fall apart. Some can be replaced, some can't.
