how durable are these? Do they tangle easily? Is it possible to control music with it? If so how?(volume only, switch ability, etc)

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.

They get tangled every now and then but pretty easy to untangle them and only thing i could do to control them was pause and play music.

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.

From my experience they are beyond amazing sound. But the reliability of the headphones are questionable. The wiring inside the headphones break extremely easy if the main wire connected to the pc isnt taken care of.

I think they are very durable.....although if you yank on any earbud they will quit...Very good quality....

They volume controls may not work because they are iPhone designated but you will be able to use it for phone calls. The music quality is very high.

I use the small winder for those, and it's worked so far. Sometimes they get caught, and it looks like the inline volume part has the cord bent pretty sharply away from it at times, but so far it's just been an idle worry and hasn't caused any functional problems. If my earbuds stop working from being wound too right this way, I'll definitely post about it here!

They don't tangle as much as u would think for a rounded cord. I keep my cord wrapped around the earphones when I don't use them and I have had no issues with shorts or unwrapping the cord.

Um, they rarely tangle, but they are not made from the tangle free fabric material that some headphones are made out of. however because the cable is flat it rarely tangles

I doubt they would break. I've had them ripped away from my ears pretty hard several times with no problems. It happens because the cord is so long, it gets caught on things. But I would worry about sleeping with them because the volume attachment can't be disabled, so you may accidentally turn the volume way up while leaning against it.

To be honest, the long cord gets pretty annoying, and the control talk is only useful if you plan on using them with a phone. Which I personally would not do. I have actually seen people answer their phone with their beats on and proceed to talk like they are on a loud street corner with trains and all other sorts of noise happening when in reality they are standing at a quiet bus-stop in the morning yelling like they're insane. Noise cancelling headphones will do that when you can't hear yourself speak. So no, they really aren't worth it. Any other cord will do.

I have had these for about 10 months and they seem to be holding up very well. The connector to my headphone jack on my laptop and to the ear buds appear the same as when I purchased them. I do not keep them in a case (just roll up and put in my purse to carry around) and use them between 2-3 days a week to listen to music while I'm at work and use 3-4 times a week to plug into a cellphone/mp3 to listen to music while running on a treadmill. My phone has fallen down while running unexpectedly and the headphones have just come unplugged with no damage to the wires at the connections.

I love mine. They are more a convienence than a permanent way to play. They do exactly what they were designed to do and the sound great for what they are.

I think they're pretty good at noise isolation. If I'm playing music at normal volume through my phone speaker and put the headphones on without plugging them in, I can't really hear the music at all. I do this every morning when I'm leaving for work, and I'm always surprised that it works so well.

I've had mine for about three years. I use them daily and travel with them. I keep them in a soft cloth pouch and toss them into my dance bag and haven't had a problem. Only recently did the top of it start to peel off, but it's more from carelessness on my part. The sound, fit, and connections are still perfect. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes. It functions just like a pair of Apple Headphones (push button once to answer call/turn on or off...twice to skip song....three times to go back a song).The volume control is not great, but if you aren't constantly changing the volume while you are using your headphones, it's not that bad.They are not good for bike riding. The wind blows through them and makes it difficult to hear anything.They are not "tangle free" as the description claims, but I would say they are at least "tangle resistant." Overall I'm satisfied with them for the price Yes.

I bought mine many months ago and they still work. I have learned to be gentle with earphones, because I really got tired of having to continually buy new ones. Just don't be rough and they should last a while.
