How durable are these? I have gone through 3 pairs of headphones in the last four months, and so I curious as to how long these last

Well.... Mine lasted a month. Maybe I'm different, and I go through them fast as well. I suggest you search elsewhere.

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.

pretty durable but I did not use daily and eventually started using a blue tooth so I would say its durable for average use. I had mine about 6 months. My kids still use it occasionally.

These are very durable, best sounding headphones i've ever had, but it is recommended with all ear buds to have a headphone pouch to store them in

I've had mine for about 6 months and they work as if new. However, I would recommend the Apple earpods as another solution. They are fantastic. But, if they're a bit out of your price range, these are definitely the way to go.

If you don't mind regular headphones then I recommend the Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight Headphones with XBS Port.Here's a link: Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight Headphones with XBS PortNot only do they last much much longer but they're also cheaper and they have good bass. My first pair lasted about 8 months. I got my second pair in July last year and they're still working. These are the best headphones I ever had.

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.

Since mine have not broke I cannot be sure - but I can say, without hesitation that these earbuds far and away blow past anything I have owned or seen as far as construction - durable cloth cord, heavy-gauge zipper plus more, over-all thought to construction seem to have been a primary goal in production. I hope this helps but I don't have a direct confirmation on longevity.

I had my first pair for 10 months before I lost them, but they still worked. My second pair lasted 9 months but I am extremely hard on my headphones and use them all the time (an hour or more daily).

I had several pairs neither one lasted more than a month before breaking. Save your money, I found some good klipsch headphones on amazon that were marked down from a $100 to $20. Accidentally put them through the wash a couple months ago and they still work, buy those.

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.

this happened to me, too- cord rot and they quit working altogether about two months later. By the time i got around to finding my receipt, it was a month out of warranty. Bummer. Mine did last just about 2 years though (E2C), and i use them for exercising every day, over the ear. Great earphones. I miss them, and the Klipsch S4 i bought as replacements don't sound nearly as good (high end is missing). I may just by the S115 Shures since they are a "dynamic" earphone as well.

They are not durable. Mine broke (sound in one ear failed) after a week or two of use, although I did wear them running and cycling.

They are OK earbuds for their pricing. I wouldn't call them the best but they have good sound quality and they seem to last a while. As in on most cheaper headphones, the wires inside the connection get yanked out and you lose sound in one or both ears. These I didn't have that problem for a long time. They lasted probably 4-5 months with everyday use.

These earphones are usually good for about 3 or so years in my opinion. I don't take care of my earphones, but it still works like when I first bought it (they have lasted a year and are currently still working fine). These earphones are a good investment if you are looking to buy earphones.

I've been wearing them to the gym almost daily. They are very durable (cord is thicker than others that I've had). The actual silicone earbuds themselves will eventually wear out. They come with about 6 sets of replacements so that shouldn't be an issue either.

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.

I have 3 pairs. One has lasted over a year and a half (but is experiencing static when the cord is jiggled), one has lasted about 6 months and the third is only a month old, and were bought to replace the ones that are experiencing static for when they finally do die. All have been great.

I'm in complete agreement with lack of durability. What I do now is use ordinary earbuds and Nexcare absolute waterproof tape to keep them in place. Works perfectly and I no longer search for the perfect runner's style headphones. Opens up choices anyway even if durability is still an issue.

No they pretty good at lasting long. I have dropped them a lot and they still work like they are brand new. To note these are really loud even if you don't have it on the volume all the way up too

I have been using them to work out and I have had them ripped from my ear after dropping my phone, or it pulls the plug from my phone instead. The cord for sure isn't going to fray. As for the actual buds, they have already taken a beating. They feel very solid. You have to kind of wiggle the silicon tips off, but unless you are being really rough with them I can definitely seeing them hold up for at least that long, if not longer.

I don't use the phones very often so I am not testing their durability in anyway. They did test my durability when I recently used them on a cross-country flight. They became uncomfortable in my ears after a few hours. I had to remove them after about 4 hours.
