do these headphones collapse for portable usage when traveling

They don't collapse. For travel, you might want something like the Slappa full size case (which I use for my Beyers and Denons)... Slappa Full Sized HardBody PRO Headphone Case (SL-HP-07)

No, they don't unfortunately. They just go in their traveling case as they show or look on the picture.

Yes. That's the last thing I'd complain about with these headphones. The wire never tangled no matter how I threw them into my bag.

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.

It depends on how much you may use them will in motion. I walked with mine and they only lasted a few months before something either in the cable or the jack had a circuit problem. Great sound though.

They do not have folding frames. The earpieces rotate 90 degrees, giving them a slimmer profile, but the frames do not fold like some other headphones do. As far as portability goes, I take these to my college classes by slipping them into one of the thinner pockets of my backpack and it seems to work great. Hope this helps.

Well, lets break this question down: 1. Yes, they are GREAT for travelling - by car, train, plane or boat. 2. If used on a plane, the removable KidzControl Volume Limit Cable should be removed - as limiting is too much and the child may not hear anything due to the background noise. This is exactly why Kidz Gear made the volume limit technology in the form of a cable. Other headphones with "built-in" volume limiting will not be satisfactory. 3. No, they are NOT noise-cancelling. Noise-cancelling is a very sophisticated technology and is only available at a much higher cost. We may be considered noise-mitigating due to the superior fit of the ear-cups and padding around the ear. We hope this answers some of you questions and was helpful. Thank you, Kidz Gear Customer Service

You would have to have them cranked pretty much all the way (or close) for sound to escape. it's much easier for external noises to be heard since these are not noise cancelling. I have used my set on airplanes, buses, trains, in all kinds of stores and not once have I have seen anyone and or been told anyone that they can hear my music.

Yes they do fold. As far as volume control, I dont believe so. The volume is controlled through my audio interface.

I dont think so. Other headphones dont fold like the beats studio does. So without the same folding, they cant fit inside the studio's hard case

I would say yes. I've never used mine for travel but I couldn't see why they wouldn't be great for it. They sound fantastic and the fact that they are very sturdy is a definite plus. You can feel free to wear them around your neck when not in use, as they're quite stylish in my opinion, or you could use the small bag that comes in the packaging to tote them around which I find very helpful and use regularly to store my sol republics. Lastly, the simple design that allows you to separate the head band from the actual driving units of each ear and the detachable cable makes them the most portable and space efficient over-the-ear headphones I've personally seen.

No they don't fold but each ear piece turns 90 degrees which I believe the fold flat statement refers to. However the noise canceling feature of these headphones is very good.

They do fold up underneath the headband. They even come with a carrying case. As for volume control, no there isn't one. Volume is controlled through the source they are plugged into. However, I use them on my PC without an external source (headphone amp or receiver) and they can get plenty loud. Their impedance is low enough that most devices can power to ear shattering levels.

Headphone is well made. They don't rotate 90 to fold flat. Instead there is a metal hinge (instead of plastic like most headphones) that the headphones fold at. This is a good review for the durability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxkNsk16DlI

Yes but it does not fold flat. An inch above the the earpieces there is a hinge that allows the earpieces to fold into the top over the head band. This leaves an approximately 3.5 by 6 inch profile for the folded unit which fits into a carrying bag that is included as part of the headphone package.

Unfortunately, no. The headphones are only good if you never move your head; not to look anywhere or the headphones fall out. While they sound great, they hardly ever stay in my ear. I would return or sell if I could.

No, but it will secure them. The headphones come with different size ear plugs to fit your ear.
