How long will these speakers last (No abuse, inside in one place). Before the fidelity drops off?

I really don't know on this issue. So far so good for me. It depends on your living environment. If you live in a high humid area, then the moisture will get absorb into the cone and eventually deteriorate the sound quality.

I expect they will last a very long time. I have another pair of JBL speakers (not this model) I have had for 20 years and they sound just as good as the day I bought them as far as I can tell. I have had this particular model about 4 years and they still sound great.

Kyle, I have had these headphones only about 3 months. So far they are doing well...seem to be very durable and tough. I'm not rough with them but I have dropped them a couple times but on a carpeted floor. I use mine several time a week but not every day. I use mine for listening to Spotify on my laptop. I am well pleased with them although I haven't had then very long! Very comfortable and sound good considering what my source of music comes from. I hope this helps you. Sorry I haven't had them longer to give you a better answer as to their durability!

Thanks for your question. All quality speakers have a break-in period of at least 100 hours, but depending on the room-acoustics, there should be some bass. Please make certain that the metal jumpers are installed and tightened across the two sets of bass and treble connection binding posts on the back of the speakers. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 36 years old and a very proud Klipsch dealer.

These are passive speakers, they have to be pushed by a power amp. If you register online at Behringer.com the warranty is three years.

Oh yeah... they will hold up and sound great !! As long as you. Have a quality amp sending distortion free signal. I crank 150 watts into them using a NAD power amp and the speakers sound very good..

I have the same problem. I've been using the 'small' 2-flange eartips ER6I-18C for over 5 years now. They 're GREAT. Just have to replace the filters every 3-6months if they get buildup on them (but they protect the actual speakers very well).

So far both of mine have held up. Just got back from a week long car trip. Stereo system went out in the car and we used the speakers a lot. They got bumped around in the car and going in and out of hotels. They are still working.

i have seen some reviews that said the IEM broke down after very short time,i use them at my office desktop for a mounth and a half and they still works.the design is very simple and i think it can last.but how knows right?

I use them for djiing in short periods of time (40min-2hrs) and i haven´t had that kind of problem. On the contrary, after a while, basses get tighter, its my impression. The only issue i find is that the back of the speakers get hot after a while on high volume. But no compromising of sound quality at all. (Sorry for my english)

I would not. Speakers are very durable.You will find the possible defective in the first year, if not, it will work for you for a very long time. IMHO It is not necessary to buy two years warranty.

If you take good care of them..they will last over 2 years...great sounding and great bass

At this point I have used them only for listening through my CPU and volume has not been an issue. Reasonably comfortable for long periods. I hope to get to the big stereo soon, but have to rearrange the furniture first:)

I agree that you "could" get cheaper speakers that are laughter, but that does not mean the sound quality is better. Harman Kardon is one of the BEST brands when it comes to sound purity and quality. Plus others may sound good at first, but they will ruin in one year. These may last at least three to five years. Not for nothing these guys make the sound systems for most of the top-of-the-line Mercedez Benz cars

Thanks for the response. I can't find the same speakers from anyone and the one set I found were $105/pair used! I may end up with these from what I can tell. These are bookshelf speakers for use here in my basement.

I dunno, I'm 38 years old and I've had these for about two years. I had to buy new tips because I lost one somewhere but, other than that, they still deliver great sound and aren't falling apart in any way. I use them practically every day, wrap em up and stuff in my pocket after use, and haven't had any problems. My wife, on the other hand, can't seem to make hers last past six months. I dunno, I guess it has to do with each person.

Sure, they'd be just fine as long as you weren't expecting a lot of bass at higher volume. So for inside a living room they'd rock. In a bar or bigger meeting room setting, they could be fine - but don't expect thumping bass.

Both of mine is about six months and I've had no problems with them. They are not a high quality headphone set but if you take care of them they will last.
