I have/had a pair of MX500's that worked great and sounded very good (to me) but the cord on them has a bad connection and makes them scratchy when I move it in a certian way. What would anyone suggest as a replacement pair. Nothing real expensive either anything new to the market in the same price range. This is for an iRiver MP3 player that I cannot live without and its killing me not being able to use it without scratchyness.
