I've had my 80gb Ipod classic since December 07 and have been REALLY happy with it apart from one thing. I've now managed to get through 6 pairs of earphones in just over 7 months. Each time the same thing happens - the right ear starts losing sound until eventually it's gone completely. Now once I thought it was unlucky, second time coincidence but now 6 times I'm starting to think it's the Ipod, bearing in mind I've never broken a pair of earphones before prior to this!
I've gone through 2 pairs of Apple earphones, Sennheiser CX300 which cost me nearly £30, a cheap £5 pair (by this point I really didn't want to be spending large amounts of money), and 2 pairs of decent quality earphones that I've had for many years and have never given me any trouble before!
Do people think Currys will exchange my Ipod for a new one bearing in mind I've had it under a year? I don't want to be told that it's all a big conincidence and that there's nothing they can do or insist on sending it away as I had a bad experience with Curry's repair service a few years ago.

Or a frequency limiting capacitor degrades and sets off the oscillation (seen that happen as well).
If it is DC then a simple multimeter would show that up.
