Portability?I need to be able to throw these in backpack. Do you think they fold up small enough and would be durable enough to do that?

Durable enough? Probably. I would put them in some kind of sack to keep them a bit safe. what you see in the pic is how they fold up.

Sorry, I gave them away right after I purchased them... They were a gift. They do fold, but not in a extra compact way. They are nice, so you should keep the box to protect them.

They're not bulky, so they are small enough. But they don't fold at the headrest, only the ear pieces swivel. They should be durable in the backpack.

They are fairly sturdy. Depending on how much you throw your backpack around, they should be ok.

They're not notably portable. The ear peices fold in to flat so the carrying case isn't as cumbersome as of they didn't fold. However, these absolute need to be kept in the case if in a bag or they will break. It's happened to me and a few others I've known with them, but overal it's worth the trouble over earbuds and I'll keep buying a new pair of these every 4-5 years I may accidentally break them. But really, keep them in the case or on your head or neck.

They are collapsible if that is your question and they can collapse down to fit into a suitcase. However, if you filled them up with clothes, it would not fold it down for a suitcase because it would have clothes in it. I hope that helps.

Yes, I have carried them in my backpack when traveling and have never experienced any problem.

These break down into 2 pieces where each piece would be about 46 to 50 inches. So no, they wouldn't fit in a backpack. There are other paddle models though thatdo break down into 4 pieces (AirKayaks.com has them). What I like about these paddles is that, for an inexpensive model, the connections are very good with no wobble.

They seem pretty flexible and sturdy. I've been keeping mine in my backpack with no problems.

I believe it would be a good idea to take them along to a concert. Being compact when folded, they are easy to carry along and will give you a closer look at the action on stage. But if you are in the distant back of the arena, you will need a higher magnification to get a good look at the performers.

Yes. I have two pair. I throw them in my gym bag and also travel with them. So far they have held up pretty well.

We have traveled with it. The "arms" can detach from the bottom to make it easier to transport, and the bottom is just cloth so it is easy to fold as well. It may not become super compact, but you an definitely travel with it no problem. :)

It is very portable when you fold it. I travelled with it from USA Africaand I just checked it in at the check in counter and picked it up when I got to my destination without stress.

It doesn't fold up. You'd have to disassemble it. It's not too difficult to disassemble and re-assemble, but it's more of a pain than merely folding it up.Truthfully, I don't know that I'd use it to travel and gig with...especially when you have it setup at the higher levels. It's stable enough for home use for me at the higher levels, but I wouldn't trust drunks around it. I'd pay the extra cash for something for stable.

Out of both my pairs, I've never had a problem with them, but I wouldn't just go throwing them around or sitting on them. I've taken them places in backpacks before though and stuff like that and never had a pair break.

yes you can fold them , but it makes it so small an add shaped it takes forever to use them . a pain to use you have to go very slow

Honestly I always took them apart and folded them, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to fold them while they are connected. It's not a bad product I just recently used them again at the zoo and worked just fine

We own two of these and they are great, but they won't fold up on themselves like you are asking. At most, they will fold 100 degrees, maybe a little more. If you want to know exactly how far they fold, let me know and I'll check it out when I get home (I'm at work right now). As the previous posting says, when flattened, it would store reasonably well. You could dissemble the unit, yes, but it's not something I'd want to do on a regular basis due to the amount of time it would take. Also, while the unit is durable for the price, it's not designed to be dissembled and then resembled on a regular basis.

Nope, sorry. In all, not a great one for portability due to size and inability to fold. Love it at home
