I tired of buying headphones that cut sound on me. Are these durable? how long do they last?

These stopped working within like the first two weeks I got them. Some people had different experiences, but personally I wouldn't buy these earphones again.

I bought these like 2 months ago maybe 3 and so far they still work fine! :D they should last you a long time

Funny you ask because as much as I love the sound, I've had them less than three months and already they are cutting out.

No, they are $11.00 ear buds. They last me, on average, about 2-3 months a pair.

I bought these and the sound quality is good. I used to have HD280s which felt way more durable and those lasted me 10 years. These ones in comparison are fairly flimsy and I'm nervous if I catch the cord on my chair, I will break them outright. It comes with an extension jack, but I wouldn't consider a breakaway cable. These are a lot quieter headphones too. The 280s were awesome because you could close the headphones completely and block the sound entirely.

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.

I haven't used Beats, but I play drums with these for 2 - 3 hours and I hardly know they're there. I don't expect the sound pattern would be the same, however as Sennheisers go for tonal balance and don't exaggerate bass.

Have had no problems at all with the build of these headphones since I purchased them 4 or 5 months ago. Seem like they will last a long time. Depends on what you'll use them for but best suited for hooking up to a/v receiver or a headphone amp for at home use.

I've had mine for about 8-9 months and they seem fine. Good as new. The only downside is that I use them day-to-day and not in a studio, so I have to tie up the length of it, but that's not a durability issue. The audio jack has been a little iffy lately, but I'm not sure if that's my phone or the headphones.

I can certainly attest to their comfort and durability - I run 25-35 miles a week and they work great for me...I've worn them up to 20 miles during my last marathon training plan and they don't get annoying. I think they sound fine, but I listen to my music really low so I may not be the best judge there!

I bought them May 20th 2014.And they still work perfectly,I keep good care of the things I buy, but I imagine it won't last long if you purposefully smash it with a hammer.With care, it can last a long time.Sound quality is great though.

Hi Emily I have been only using mine for a month but they are the best I have ever had. So I hope they last ages. They block out the water from my ears and have good sound. I use them every day

From my personal experience with these headphones over almost six months I have noticed no design flaws in terms of durability and top notch construction. I've even been surprised by how sturdy these earbuds are, so to answer your question I don't think that will present you with any problem at least not for a long long time.

Hello Mark, I like to use these working out or doing outdoor work. They have decent bass. I like think chunky bass, and these provided good quality. My only gripe is that headphones ( after a while ) stop working. I have tried Beats by Dre ear buds and they provide better base. The price is key factor in that equation. If you need them for travel, or around the house, either Bose or Beats (Over the Ear) are the best ones on the market. But for outdoor needs, these are the right price.

They don't have silly noise-cancelling that makes music sound terrible, they isolate you from noise. These will be a much better buy and will last much longer than any Bose headphones. All stores that carry Bose have to very quickly replace broken headphones as Bose knows they make poor constructed headphones so they maintain the illusion of quality, they sound decent enough but the Bose don't last and the price/performance is lacking.

For me about 2-3 years before went mute. I also bought them for $25. I replaced these with sony earbuds with extra bass.

I have had the headphones for over an year and wear them almost everyday at the gym as well as often on my bike. I have yet to need to replace them.

As for me? No, my ears don't hurt during extended use. These are some of the best headphones I've owned. Seriously.

I can not say personally. I bought these as a Christmas gift for my brother. He has always been really rough on headphones and so far these have been holding up pretty good, so I can say they are durable. In regards to the sound quality, my brother says that it's great and that he is very happy with the bass and sound quality they put out.
