So in the past 6 months ive gone through about 150$ worth of headsets. And I dont know why, I mean the two expensive ones I got seemed to crap out after about a week, while the cheap 5$ ones have lasted the longest. And it's not that they don't work its that the left or right headphone will stop working. So I wanna know is it just the headphones I buy or do they usually do this and if so is the a way to repair it.

Current headphone is Altec Lansing Stereo Headset AHS515. Now I've only had this since august 22nd so what happened.... Its got a 15 foot cable that i know hasn't been pulled on and I keep them on the back of my chair if they aren't being used.

Previous headphones were Steel Series Professional Gaming Gear Steelsound 3h

I don't play music too loudly Winamp is always at 50 while my mixer is set around 25-40 at any given moment.

Any more information needed just ask, and If I really need to go out and buy a new headset, any recommendations?
