are they sturdy? i tend to throw my headsets around.

Well, depends how forceful you are, but id be careful. They're sturdy enough for travel but it's mostly plastic so it'd probably break if you threw it at a wall. They'd survive being dropped on the floor.

They seem to be quite sturdy, but I would not recommend throwing an expensive pair of gaming headphones.

Sturdy-- yes. Run them over with a car? No. The weak point on this headset is at the swivel joint where the speaker housing meets with the frame on either side-- that is to say, I had a pair break because I tried to pull them apart too far. They are plastic and can break. Still, they have held up fine to drops, and a few times when the cord has caught my foot and they held up fine. They work amazingly well as a headset-- probably not so well as a football.

I wouldn't call them "sturdy" -- they are light weight. Not "cheap" looking -- just light weight. I have not had a problem with them flipping over per se, but I have experienced them sliding around and falling off the edge of surfaces when I've tried cradling the phone fumbling around in the dark. You might want to consider using 3M Command strip refills to secure the bottom of the base to the surface.

I have never broken mine nor my wife's in the last 4 years... But I had gone through 14 turtle beach headsets prior to this purchase...

They are not that heavy. After a while u get used to the weight. The quality is far beyond other headphones to where weight is not a concern.

Yeah, just plug them in correctly, and they'll work as any other headset would, and they're decently sturdy.

They're pretty good. I've mangled small screw heads before the tools. Of course, any small tool head can be bent, but I'd say that these are pretty strong. Looking at my tools- they're all still in perfect shape.

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.

Yes, this headphones are sturdy. My 2yr-old handle them at times and I don't worry about breakage.

I can't say for sure, but I think they are sturdy enough that it should be okay! I pounded mine in with a sledge hammer (gently).

I think once you find the correct ear tips they should stay in place quite well. The weight distribution of the headphones seems to be pretty good. I can't over emphasize how important to try each and every ear tip that is included. And there are a lot. That is the key to great fit, comfort and sound quality. I feel like I work for these guys! But I really don't. I paid for mine and I love them.

They are indeed heavier than most headphones but they perform better too. They have powered drivers and a battery. They are not too bad until you bend over to pick something up, they can slide forward or even fall off.

They feel sturdy to me. If you are reasonable careful with it and don't repeatedly drop or throw it around I think you won't have any problems. If you don't take care of them they would probably start to break at the swivel points. Just don't sit down hard on them and swing 'em around by the cord and you'll be fine. They are well made in my opinion. As for tightness - not an issue unless you have a wider head (mine is ~6.5" wide ear-to-ear). The cups will fit large ears comfortably too.

They are fairly sturdy. Depending on how much you throw your backpack around, they should be ok.

Yes, I feel they are durable. The cable is a bit less flexible than others, but most of my other earphones fail at the cable, either at the connection or the insulation, these have not done that. Also, I noticed my pair had a short break-in period.

They are. However, they are very fragile and break easily if over adjusted. The customer support is the WORST I've ever had to deal with. My Son's headphones had a manufacture defect, I sent them in and it was well over a month before getting replacements. I made plenty of contact with barely a call back. I'll never buy their products again.

They seem quite sturdy. I would guess my speakers are 25 lbs and are very stable.
