Build quality is good. Sound quality is very good. Battery life is unreal, like 13 hours. Great set of headphones.

Solid!! Even if you broke them by some miracle, you could easily replace it.

Indestructible!!! Literally. Can adjust to any head size. You're able to interchange the headband color for style. That makes it possible to disassemble the ear drums from headband which makes a quick replacement if needed. Beats replacing the entire product. Very comfortable, high quality sound even while streaming on smart phones. Only con is the set of wires for the wired jack connector for "wired mode". It's double wires that resemble the "old school" set up. The manufacture should've designed a single flat wire jack connector such as the "wired SOL REPUBLIC" for the purchase price.

Hey bud, so the earphones are originally and honestly are really amazing. I lost mine after 2 weeks. Very clumsy like that. But sorry, won't be able to answer warranty questions. But earphones are totally worth it. If you have the $$$ ofcourse!

They are amazingly effective. They will make your headphones sound better by sealing in base and locking out noise. I use them almost exclusively at the gym and sweat a lot. They have a limited lifespan though, and they will rip after a while. Buy a package of 3 and they will last about 3-4 months depending on how rough on them you are. Hope this helps.

Yes I have a friend with a pair of Beats Studios and I have the Crossfade LPs and although the Beats are somewhat more attractive, they feel more flimsy. Their sound quality is near to, but not exactly at the quality of the Crossfade LPs. I have also had the Crossfade LPs for two years and they have not changed at all since the day I got them. They are EXTREMELY durable. Beats on the other hand, I have heard have a tendency to break. If you are going for a large brand name and style, then go for beats. If you want a pair of headphones that sound good, feel good, and last forever, get the Crossfade LPs.

I had them for 3 months befor they broke.I would wrap them in the same way they came in the case each time I was done using it. The build seems sturdy however like I said mine broke after 3 months and when I say broke I mean right side wire seems to lose connection and than randomly come back. I probably will not buy again because I have had cheap $10 buds with no case that lasted 3 years before I got rid of them and these barely lasted 3 months

The headband is plastic with metal parts. The disc with the beats logo is plastic but encircled with metal. I think they are durable. I bought them for my 13 year old son. They are holding up well. Still look new and nothing has broken on them. He uses them for hours each day.

Yes and yes. I have been using the same pair for my workouts for about 2 years now without any damage. They work just as well as the first day I bought them. I'd give them a 10 in terms of durability, a 10 for their functionality, and a 6.5-7.0 for sound quality (they are for casual listening, not studio monitors).

I've had mine for about 6 months now, using them about every day, and thus far the only thing that has shown any wear is the leather-esque ear padding, which has started to gently loosen. This is a very insignificant thing to me, though if you intend on putting substantial wear on your set, it could lead to the material coming loose. That, however, is why I would deem these headphones as something that should not be out and about too much; an amazing at home/studio pair of headphones, not a pair to wear while dirt biking.

I don't think it is good for doing workout coz it has cable attached to the headphone itself. If you are interested in headphone which is good for workout, you probably check the Beats Studio Wireless out! ^^

Although I am alittle confused how your question is stated here, I will go ahead and elaborate on the sound quality, and the fit size. The sound quality was wonderful and like no other headphones Ive ever had. I wish that the size was alittle tighter. I use the headphone to workout in and run, gets a little frustrating to readjust the headphone. The headphone are cheap, and broke in pieces when it fell out of my hands and onto the concrete floor

Honest answer? Go to beats website and buy it there, it's around $ 30.00 but you know it's original, i bought here and was cheap made in China type, didn't work.

Yes...actually....but I have not had any issues. What was more worrying for me is the fact there's no warranty in the US so if there's an issue, you can either go back to the store you bought it at or accept the fact there's no support and buy a new pair of headphones.

I have used them for over 7 months now (working out, running, etc...). I have not seen any type of cracking in the headband. Pretty good quality in my opinion.

I would recommend that you do. I bought and returned these headphones because even though the sound quality was excellent, the quality of the build and some of the included accessories gave me doubts about the durability.

You have to take a close look at them and feel if they're flimsy. Then the true test is listening. If any of those things are bad, send them back! Try nomoretack.com. They're from Beats and sell for 50-60 bucks.

I haven't used Beats, but I play drums with these for 2 - 3 hours and I hardly know they're there. I don't expect the sound pattern would be the same, however as Sennheisers go for tonal balance and don't exaggerate bass.

These headphones are much thicker and heavier than Beats studio/solo headphones, there is no audio control on the wire like Beats headphones, no Bluetooth either. As for how they will stay on your head if you ran around, I'm sure they will slip off. So, sitting on a flat bench knocking out some bench press - they should be ok. Cycling, they should be ok, running on thread mil - not ok. Also, I'd expect the sweat to stay in your ear - they do hug the ears well.
