Good question. Really could not say. I have only had them for a year, but my other Piaa's have been in my truck for 5 years and are still working great!

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.

I suppose It depends on the amount of usage. But I have had mine since November 13. Used moderately but not heavily. A couple times a week for 30 min to 1 hour each time. I like them. If I could afford the $40 a piece ones I would get those over these any day. But for the money they do what I need them to so and so far no sign of wear.

We have had ours about 6 months. Not sure if they will go bad but they are ok now.

I've only had mine for a month or so. However, I'm certain it depends on how often you use them and how well you take care of them after and between each use. I expect mine will last longer than 6 mo. as I don't wear them constantly.

They are made of plastic so they will probably last quite a while. You just have to clean them up every so often.

I believe they are good for a year or two. I remember checking the expiration date and knowing I would be using mine up before that date.

I have only had mine two months, but they're holding up well so far. I think they'll make it 3 months plus. Hope this helps.

I have yet to replace mine. As long as you wash, dry & power them they should last quite a while.

My assumption is they should last virtually forever, each package is sealed. I buy, and keep them for years.

During the warmer months, they've lasted 2 to 3 months. Winter time, I would check every 2 weeks depending how cold it gets.

I have had mine for a while now, and they are still going strong. At least 5+ months.

They last pretty long. Make sure you use quality batteries, like Duracell or Energizer. Don't forget to turn them off when not in use. I don't want to attempt to guesstimate how many hours, but we really don't have to change them often. If they start making funny noises, time to change batteries.

They can last for years. I uploaded a video of mine after a few years of use, and I use them often: http://www.amazon.com/review/R236EXQTVCUJA4

They're good for about three years. They only last about a week so that's plenty of time.

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.

Celeste, I currently own 6 of them and they are close to being 6 years old. However, I really don't anticipate they will last forever, I have read several reviews of units lasting as long as 15 years. If mine give out today, it's a cheap investment, and they work...
