Longevity? These things aren't going to break down on me with faulty wiring or anything?

I had a pair that lasted for about 3 years but I wasn't careful about pulling them out of my ears using the wires instead of reaching down in to pull them out by grabbing the little plastic case. Long story short - one side finally went dead from a loose wire which aren't repairable! They do offer a replacement price from their website so I called a lovely lady there at the company and told her my story - mostly that I only used them at home to watch TV. She told me to send them back and a week later I got an email from them that they were replacing them for free! GREAT customer service, friendly, understanding folks and the best bang for the buck in-ears there are......how can you go wrong. I find them to be very comfortable with great balanced sound (not too bassy like most of this style of earphone) AND I NEVER get hearing fatigue from using them. I also have a pair of Ety's 4-rp's which are even better and more heavy duty - I use them when I walk and ride my motorcycle for music from my iphone. I see someone on amazon is selling the er-6's for $57.........that's a deal!

I'm not sure entirely, but the computer will complain if they are too old (planned obsolescence). They have lasted for anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 years has been my experience.

Get the voltage and polarity right and you should be ok. Just be careful not to fry it.

Have had 2 units for almost 2 years now as long as its shipped and received in good condition you should be happy with the unit ... No faults todate

I have it wired to a pyle A B switch running both sets at times without any problems.

Great. I never had a problem with the moniters breaking, well not unless stepped on. The wire can be replace whenever. That's main the only problem you'll have but as I said, it can be replaced.

I've also had 5 of these running for over nine months with no issues at all. They are in a Synology 1010+ array which means they spin down when not in use. I would expect they have cycled well over 200 times since I installed them.

The seller's answer should be taken as definitive. Anecdotally, my installation is not on a dedicated circuit, but the other members of the circuit are either outlets or efficient lighting. I've had my unit in service for over 6 months with no issues to speak of. Enjoy!

They do not fail often, in my experience, but they do fail. Ours lasted 10 years and I replaced it easily with a new unit purchased through Amazon.

I am also not an audiophile but have not noticed any degradation . Like the other stated, it's Amazon- wire it up and give it a close listen before you close it up.

Hard to answer without destructive testing on the device over many years. I have had these installed in my house for over 3 years now and not one has failed nor have I had any device damaged due to electrical issues. Hope that helps.

Probably not. If they previously worked, and unless they have been severed, the problem is likely in the terminations, or end point connectors, or a junction box. Generally, the cable is still good, and the problem lies in some interconnecting device. Screws are loose, or clamping has come loose etc. Re do what ever the cable its connected to, you can check continuity with a multimeter if you you think there are breaks in the cable, but you already know there is electricity, because the outlays don't work, so redo what you can most easily get to first, assuming the cable is good for now, and work backwards, with the cable as an issue last. As mentioned, the cable is probably still good.

No way to tell. If there are no mechanical failures, the LEDs should work for at least 50 years! Nothing to wear out.

nope, total reliability...bought more for family 'puter and will buy more as needed

There's now way of knowing that. Some of it is just chance. I've had drives last 7 years and some have lasted a few months. Also environment plays a part in that. If you have a crappy power supply that puts too much voltage or current or unstable voltages and currents into the drive, that's going to kill it early. Likewise if don't cool it properly, that's going to speed it to an early grave.

No it's not "that" good. People are just buying PSU with higher wattages than they needed then reviewing them far too early in the product lifespan. Many of the junk PSU will run for a year or two before failure. There are many choices that are equivalent in the same price range, but of course finding a sale and/or rebate is always the best bet for a good quality:price ratio.

Unfortunately these lights are hit or miss. We have 10 strips in our business and we've had issues with two of the power sources going out. The other 8 have been going strong for over a year now running approximately 16 hours a day 5 days a week. We ended up buying an aftermarket power source and have yet to experience any further issues.
