^^ They come with 1 year warranty. I have a set of mine which is 2 years old and know many people's ep 630 which didnt get spoilt. Some didnt get any sound, but they used the blade to pop out and remove the ear wax out. Apparently, it wasnt the problem of the earphone afterall.

Sony MDR-EX35LP is much better set than EP-630. It has much better sound and build quality. My EP-630 too died after few months and my MDR-EX32LP is working fine even after a year.

^^ how much does it cost?

Since Sony doesn't have more than 3 day warranty unless you buy premium earphones/headphones, it's a good idea to buy the earphones from grey market but you have to make sure that it is genuine.

Go to Sony World and check the hologram. Ask them for a model that is not in stock :)
Walk out.
Look for similar hologram in grey markets earphone box :)
