How durable are these?

I have found them to be quite sturdy. They're mostly plastic, but it's thick and tough. The headband has metal in it, and when you move it up or down a notch you get a satisfying 'thunk' each time. Even after hauling them across the country several times in my backpack (without carrying sack), I've had no issues.

They seem to be durable. I bought my 7 year old some from a different company (Sony, I think) and he broke them the first time he put them on. However, he has been using the Kensington headphones for a couple of months and they are still in good condition. I bought some for myself, but do not use them often because they hurt my ears after more than 15 minutes or so. The cushioning pads are not very soft.

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.

It's pretty durable. I use mine every day, for my work commute, and on my run. They get shoved in my pocket wrapped around my ipod/iphone a lot. I give them lots of abuse, and they hold up pretty well. I will say that I've gone through 3 pairs, but that was in the last 6 years. I abuse them a lot, but given that, and their amazing sound, it's totally worth it.

I purchased mine in March of 2014 and so far they have held up fine. I do not use them on a daily basis however....

They are pretty durable, I've dropped mine over a dozen times from about stomach high and haven't had any damage. They are designed and built really well. They have a break away cable at the ear so if you get lost admirering you audio fidelity and walk beyond your 10 ft long cable it will just unconnect instead of breaking your headset. Also great sound for the price. As long and you don't have a dog chewing on then they should last.

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.

Mine have not fallen apart yet and I have been using them for about three months now.

Yes, I've had them for at least 3 or 4 months now, and so far they seem very durable.

Probably not durable enough. Plus if you have to wash them they will fall apart. The seller will not help you if they fall apart.

I've had mine a little over a month now and I've thrown them in the gym bag, dropped them and they are still going strong.

I haven't had mine long (a few weeks) but from what I can tell they should last you a while. Mine have a few dings and a slightly bent tip from hitting a brick wall, from what I can tell they are pretty durable. I typically throw for an hour or so a day and mine are all still in great condition.

No, I'm using these for every day. They have been quite durable for me. No breakage.

The durability of these should be good, but it depends on how you use and/or handle them. If you are rough with them by pulling them off your head abruptly, the elasticity could make them lose grip over time. If you are gentle with them, they can last a lifetime. I hope this helps.

I purchased this set as a gift, so I am unaware of their durability. I hope you are able to find the answer you are looking for.

They are very durable. I don't think they will wear out anytime soon. I wear them 3 days a week for any squat type exercise with the exception of cleans. They are very thick. Just becareful the only way I see them riping is from pulling them on if your fingernails dig in. Enjoy they are worth every penny!
