How long do these headphones generally last?

I've only had these since December and use them frequently for running, around the house and they appear to be holding up well. The Pioneer's replaced JVC HAFX1X that lasted about a year for me. That said. everyone else in my family still have the JVCs (although my daughter's left bud went out recently and that was what happened to my JVCs). I feel the Pioneer's are better in quality and sound good. The JVCs had more bass but the Pioneer's still sound quite good.

Not sure bought them about four months ago and they still work great. Longest any headphones have lasted me

I've had mine a year and a half and carry them daily in my pocket inside of a soft sunglasses pouch so typically my earbuds don't last very long just due mostly to how I carry them. These have held up fine so far, longer than any others. The sound quality is fantastic and will likely purchase another set if these ever fail.

Unfortunately there seems to be an issue with the item description. These headphones have a rechargeable battery that is built-in. It is recharged via the miniUSB connection on the headphones and lasts 18+ hours per charge.

I've had the SR125 headphones for two or three years now and use them at work. They're still in great shape and sound great. They are open headphones though, so you do have to take other folks in the room under consideration.

Not sure how long they last. But I have had mine a few months with no issues

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 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.

Yeah, they are pretty durable for earbuds in this price range. I use them all the time (like 4 hours a day) they are in and out of my pocket and my kids play with them. They last me about 7 - 10 months, I guess.

I am not sure about your question. I believe these headphones have been out for about 2 years.

They are good quality. 20 years? I have had them for 2 years now and they seem to be doing ok. However I cannot assess whether they will last 20 years. If you are looking for a good long term investment in your audio setup it may be better to look for options that explicitly guarantee long term duration, as this ones don't say anything about that. In my opinion, if these babies give you 5+ years, it was already a good investment, as I love the sound they have.

If you treat them gently, these can last for quite a while. Part of what I value about them is that they're affordable and still have pretty good sound for the price, so when I've lost or destroyed a pair it's no big deal.

I have had these headphones for about a year and have walked a few times with them on. I have not experienced problems

I've only had the headphones for about 30 days, but I wear them about 3-4 days a week and have not had any issues to date.

Depending on how rough you are with them, they can last for months or days. I have a pair I use at the office that is about a year old and still just about perfect. Another pair had the wires pulled out of the plug when I snagged them getting out of a chair. Not the fault of the earbuds, just a clumsy user. They do tend to take more abuse than the average economy earbuds I used to buy. It does help to keep them clean which is pretty easy with this design as the silicone earpieces come off easily and are easy to clean. The sound channel is wide open, so it's easy to remove any debris that may have gotten caught in it. Depending on how rough you are with them, they can last for months or days.

It's a crap-shoot, really. I had jbuds that only lasted for four months, and then these Sennheisers lasted for about a year. The Sennheisers sound a bit better in my opinion. I've also had another pair of jbuds for a bit that are currently still working.

As others have stated, they're over-ear. I have been using mine for the past 3 years and these headphones are unbeatable for the price that they're sold at.As for comfort, I use them at work and have them on my head for about 6 hours a day..... Most of the time, without anything playing haha. I usually tend to forget they're on my head until my ears start to sweat a little.As long as I take them off my head every 30 minutes and let my ears 'air out' for a minute or two, I can have these on indefinitely. I actually like leaving them on without any music playing to be honest. It's a comfort thing, and people see the headphones and think twice about talking to me and disturbing me at work.
