Mine expired a few months after the warranty expired. Buttons quit working. Did call the company. 2 pairs of Pro golds both started exhibiting problems, old pair had a 5 year warranty, went a good year after the 5 year warranty expired, then the right channel started screeching, the newer pair went a year after the 1 year warranty expired same issue. The pink Pro Ears I got for the woman still working. Talked to the shop about all 4, obviously I'm a repeat customer and 3 for 4 you would think they would do something to make there customer feel valued, but no, they toed the line on the warranties. Did get a nice "I'm Sorry" out of them, that and $5.00 will get you a cup of coffee at starbucks. I'm looking for a different brand for the next pair. Expensive ear protection should come with more then a 1 year warranty.
