Why is it that one of the ear pieces
always goes wrong and yet the other one still works? although i imagine this
pair has actually lasted for a year or more it seems to me that i'm always
in need of new headphones - is this a common occurance??

It's usually the plug that goes bad on inexpensive headphones. Obviously cheaply made stuff is not going to last, but the plug is an especially vulnerable spot. When unplugging your headphones, always grasp the plug itself, never the wire. This will prolong the life of your headphones considerably.

Cheaper than the Grado are the Sennheiser PX-100 at about £25, well worth the money and they sound so much better than the standard tin cans.

the way headphones work is they are magnets which have electricity to move through them. this causes a paper to vibrate causing the sound in your ear. if you slam your headphones around too much, then you will damage the magnets. this has happened to me multiple times. it normally occars with cheaper headphones though.
