What's the durability? I am very careful with my electronics. How long do these last?

They seem firm. Haven't had them that long so I don't know if they will last. Though they seem good so far.

If you're good to your electronics then you shouldn't have an issue. The frame is a flexible plastic and could probably be broke intentionally fairly easy but if you're not just tossing them around or mistreating them they should last. I've had mine for quite a while with no problems.

Honestly mine only lasted around two months before the internal battery blew inside the headset.

I'm very careful with mine as well, to me I feel like they will last longer if your very careful like you said.

I haven't had my set for a long time, but I use them a lot. Seem durable to me

I have had mine (original version) since Feb 2014...I've never had an issue of losing a part or breaking...they still work just fine. I may try the new version just because they say it's softer. I do have one the kinda hurts a bit. But one out of three ain't bad!

I've had mine since last summer and they're still going strong. I use them about 10 hours a week and they show no signs of wear and tear. The audio quality isn't as good as the 2013 Beats Mixr or studio headphones but the Sol's are physically strong, maybe even stronger than the Beats.

Mine last really good :). Very impressed and pleased with my iPad and I'm an electronic guy. Ive worked for Verizon for 6 years

I would say pretty durable. I use it for noise monitoring at a stone quarry and inside a stone sawing facility. Very dusty and dirty and wet. Been working well for about 10 months now. Use it about 3 hours per week

No they pretty good at lasting long. I have dropped them a lot and they still work like they are brand new. To note these are really loud even if you don't have it on the volume all the way up too

They can last for years. I uploaded a video of mine after a few years of use, and I use them often: http://www.amazon.com/review/R236EXQTVCUJA4

They are not durable. Mine broke (sound in one ear failed) after a week or two of use, although I did wear them running and cycling.

I have had them for about 6 months and have had no issues. I do imagine if they are dropped they would break.

pretty durable but I did not use daily and eventually started using a blue tooth so I would say its durable for average use. I had mine about 6 months. My kids still use it occasionally.

They're actually pretty durable if thats what you're asking. I've had mine for exactly a year now and they're still in perfect condition, and I use them almost every day.

Yeah, they are pretty durable for earbuds in this price range. I use them all the time (like 4 hours a day) they are in and out of my pocket and my kids play with them. They last me about 7 - 10 months, I guess.

I've had mine for about a year & they still are intact & work fine. Hard to beat for the money.

If you're asking if they will last long, that would be hard to say since I've only have it for a few months and I've haven't dropped them or something like that.If you're just asking if the type of material is worth the investment. Then, yeah it's good. To me, the plastic is good plastic and not those flimsy, cheap ones that would chip or break with a small physical stress.(Will be hard to explain what my 'good' plastic is, but I call the plastic at 99 cent store cheap plastic. These aren't those types, but a hard, solid color plastic.... lol)

Not enough time put into using them to tell just yet, but they have lasted just fine for the amount of time I have used them. Which for reference is maybe 40 or so hours since I got them a few months ago.TL;DR They seem pretty reliable so far.

I've had them for almost 2 years now and they are still great, but you should definitely get a warranty. Better to be safe then sorry.
