Bought in early 2010 it has stayed with me for so long. A Sony product with red chrome colour on the necks. Awesome performance all along except that i had to manually fix the jack wiring once with cellotape.
Just now I found out that the end is near. I remember buying a new panasonic one in early 2011 but they betrayed me and left me just within 1 day. And this guy just kept on through all the summer heat, sweat and dust. The rough travelling and the jerks. A salute to you my friend. I wish your recycled and meet me again some day. 
Do you have something just like this which if gone missing will hurt you?
            


 I only listen to it.
