Do these have the same problem that the SL99 had that were too fragile an one of the sides sometimes dies?

No, It didn't have this kind of problem. the sound is great. just one point, they do not fit very well in your ears.

I never had that problem with the sl99 set. And I'd always have my music louder than I should. Personally I like the minis better. They fit better in the ear and use the same drivers as the sl99s. And they're still going strong after 8 months or so.

If anything they are too over built. The wire is heavy enough that it's stiff. This can make them easier to tug out of your eyes by catching things. They sound good any I haven't had a problem with the yet.

They do not fail often, in my experience, but they do fail. Ours lasted 10 years and I replaced it easily with a new unit purchased through Amazon.

I haven't had a problem with them. I always double check on each set just in case. I use these dumbells all the time, very happy with them.

I've never had a problem with mine. I liked it so much that I bought another one. Make sure you have it together tight.

It happened to me too, broke at side bridge at buttons, This is my second one, because great colors and slim fit I order other one. Because its only under $10 I really did not give much importance to warranty part of it.

They are not faulty, remember this is plastic , if you have it over loaded and apply weight, like leaning on it while try to close or open this can cause it to seem to not operate correctly, Hint just don't overload and try not leaning on while opening or closing bottom and Handle. I have had mine for two years now and use it everyday.

That is never a simple question because as with everything some things may fail early and some will fail after a very long time with most failing in the middle. That being said, this is very well built and more importantly it is engineered to be repairable by a company in the U.S. with a great support system. I think I have had mine for two years with no issues and expect at least ten years before anything happens. My brother has had the previous model for in excess of fifteen years with no issues. Hope that is helpful.

Bought mine a year ago and the only issue i had which is minor the rubber on the side of the knife has come a little loose or separated. Still no big deal.

My recollection is that it is all the way around BUT I returned my set because the surface started failing withing 2 months of purchase. I was told this was "normal wear and tear" but I have 40 years old Oneida stainless that doesn't have ANY of that surface failure. I'd avoid this.

I do and have not had problems. I have broken one by hitting it on the granite countertop.

I haven't had any problems with mine. I guess it could be a problem if you overload it.

I've had no problems with mine. I would suggest to send them back for a replacement; I am extremely pleased with the quality.

I've had mine for a year & a half and haven't had any problems. I even moved & had to take it all apart & re-assemble

I have had this problem also.. could also be why my handle recently came off from the constant up and down. Mine never went down all the wsy just a notch or 2

I had no SDM failures and I've had mine for about 2 years. I believe (not 100% sure) that the earlier models had this problem and it was fixed. However, research that to make sure its fact.
