do these wear out fast?

Yes they wear out fast. Like I said in my review, they warped after the first use.

With my old pair they lasted me 6 months but that was with very heavy use (running everyday with them, and basically having them in a majority of the day).

Yes, they are actually embedded in the plastic, so they won't wear off over time. Very happy with these!

I've used mine nearly every day, several hours at a time, for perhaps 5 years. They are falling apart now and I am back at Amazon to order another pair!

Mine are starting to wear off and I haven't had them but about a year. I do put mine in the dishwasher though.

That's not an easy question to answer as I haven't worn any out yet! I would estimate that they would last for a number of years. I live in a 'Blast furnace' called Arizona and if they last a number of years here they should last a LONG time anywhere else!

My husband is a welder and he using them and I haven't heard any complaints. We did buy 3 pair to be able to switch them out so they want wear out so fast.

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.

No, I have not. And so far, I have not had any problems with them lasting for weeks and even several months.

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.

They don't wear down. They can break off but if you don't apply pressure, there is no need to worry. I frankly am not that enthusiastic about them because you can control the width of lines in most apps anyway.

Absolutely! I've had the same pair for about 2 or 3 years and they're working great. I get mine so sweaty that I literally shake them dry before I stuff them in my glove box.

No. I honestly cannot tell the difference other than I think they wear out a little quicker.

No, but I can't see them ever wearing out. Keep them clean with the brush provided and maybe add a drop of lightweight oil once in a while and they should last for years.

They seem pretty durable, but that's some pretty intense wear. I'm sure they would wear out faster than normal if you were doing that very often. I would worry more about them sliding around when climbing up. They fit well, but with that kind of pull, they might twist on your hand.

I've only had them for a week...but I wear them for about 9 hours. I'm ready to take them off at that point. But so far, wearing them all day hasn't been a problem. Buy them - they're great!

Yes, I've had mine for several months and wear them all the time with no issue.
