How durable are these headphones?

They lasted me just under 2 years but am ordering again because the sound is that great. They sound better than my slightly more expensive Sennheisers.

They are very durable. I feel like they could go through a lot. All of the joints where the wire is likely to break are reinforced, and the build quality is superb. They are all plastic. But posses a high quality, thick, and solid feel to them!

They seem sturdy from what I can tell. I'd still recommend not stepping on them or putting pressure on them, as it is somewhat flat and "disc" shaped, so it could potentially break pretty easy in that regard.

the hesh 2.0 headphones appear to be holding up to my teenagers treatment - so much so - the other day they were in the backseat of the car and rattling around on the floor (accidentally) and my son told me not to worry - so I think they are made well enough to hold up for years to come

I wear mine for about an hour each day, listening to audiobooks on my commute or while I putter around the house. The first pair lasted a year before the sound in one ear cut out. The second pair is still going strong at eleven months, but I ordered a new pair in anticipation of their demise. I think it's a fair lifespan for $10 headphones, and I like everything else about them.

they are pretty good. and yes they can take a beating as long as you don't use them as a hammer.they are pretty huge, I am 5 11 and they stick out of my ears like a car's side mirrors!

I use them pretty much everyday, and the covers haven't come off yet, in about 3 or 4 months or so. On most headphones like this they come off pretty quickly for me, so these have been an exception.

Well, I've only had them since December, but the cable is nice and sturdy, which is a must have for me. My headphones simply don't last since they go through a lot of stress. Some have lasted as little as a week, but none more than two months. As much as they've been through already, they've held up well, and they still sound fantastic.

I've had these headphones since February 11, 2013. I take them to work and jogging and they still sound the same as when I bought them. Cable is intact and wiggling the cable on both ends doesn't cause any audio skips. That's always been my curse with headphones, one side will eventually go out, but these are still going strong for a year now.

I have had mine since November, so far no problems, great sound, a bit heavy on the bass. Very comfortable. The seem to be sturdy to me, not flimsy at all. If available i would buy them again when i need another pair.

Since mine have not broke I cannot be sure - but I can say, without hesitation that these earbuds far and away blow past anything I have owned or seen as far as construction - durable cloth cord, heavy-gauge zipper plus more, over-all thought to construction seem to have been a primary goal in production. I hope this helps but I don't have a direct confirmation on longevity.

Pretty durable. I'm not easy on earbuds. I work out with them/play drums with them so they can take a beating. They don't tangle easy that I've experienced. And the switch basically just pauses music. Hope this helps.

They are adequate for running. However they are not half as durable as Sennheiser promises. Mine fell apart within a year, while I did not train that much. Instead I'd recommend Sony MDR-W08L. They wear definitely as good, don't move around. I wear them for over a year, 6-days a week training in very warm sweaty weather conditions. When I purchased them they were around $9, so I bought 6. One broke. To my surprise the price has suddenly gone up to $39,- However, I do not recommend the Sennheiser because of durability. It was no bad luck it fell apart. The design is definitely not durable. If it rusts everywhere and the rubber pieces fall apart then the design is flawed. They are adequate for running.

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 have been using them to work out and I have had them ripped from my ear after dropping my phone, or it pulls the plug from my phone instead. The cord for sure isn't going to fray. As for the actual buds, they have already taken a beating. They feel very solid. You have to kind of wiggle the silicon tips off, but unless you are being really rough with them I can definitely seeing them hold up for at least that long, if not longer.

they are pretty durable i'd say... have been using them while working out and sleeping, and it still works fine. HOWEVER, its extremely uncomfortable

I have had these headphones for about a year and have walked a few times with them on. I have not experienced problems

These are very durable headphones made of very strong materials. They can definitely handle a beating.
