Is is Earphone durable? Since it looks kinda fragile..does the cable/wood finishing hold up nice?

So far so good. I had the plastic version before this one, and it lasted several years. It's not great at staying "closed" (i.e. if you pull on the cord, the speaker part comes away from the ear), but it very rarely comes off entirely. It's just sort of annoying... you have to push them back onto your ear every now and then - especially while jogging.

The wood finishing held up pretty nicely. I'm not sure how to explain this, but the cable loosened up, so after six months I could only hear with one ear piece. Even though I thought I took good care of it.

"Yes" they are very durable. Have been using them for over a year now and have not had any problems with them.

Yes it is durable and solid but, obviously, they are a nice handmade and they need a little bit of care

Yeah..it looks kinda fragile ONLY...it is NOT. It has hold up very well despite me not taking good care of it..I threw it around, drop it, fling it...not a scratch and working perfectly.

So far, so good. I wear mine 8-10 hours at a time, 4 days per week and have little or no ear fatigue. The cord is a bit thin between the phones, which concerned me when I've let one slip a time or four and ended up catching it by the cord, but the small, built in strain relief has so far saved me from any loosened connections. The wood finish has stayed looking just the way it did when I got them, and polishes up nicely with the included cloth.

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.

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.

Bought mine circa 2006. The leatherette has worn away significantly but I did not take care of it--I have ear piercings so that no doubt helped contribute to it wearing away. The 'phones still sound excellent and the rest is equally as well. : )

I would say pretty durable. I use it for noise monitoring at a stone quarry and inside a stone sawing facility. Very dusty and dirty and wet. Been working well for about 10 months now. Use it about 3 hours per week

Hey bud, so the earphones are originally and honestly are really amazing. I lost mine after 2 weeks. Very clumsy like that. But sorry, won't be able to answer warranty questions. But earphones are totally worth it. If you have the $$$ ofcourse!

I've had 2 major falls and not a scratch yet and I use the standard earphones that came with the phone and no problems yet.

hi Jerad, I am not a old customer of this product, so give me a few more months to test the Skullcandy earbuds for an honest answer to your concerns of long lasting quality.Larry

I haven't experienced any problems with this case. The volume and sound quality haven't been affected as far as I've noticed. I am very pleased wih mine.

Yes. And I can say that I use my cable daily and vigorously and it has held up perfectly to the abuse I have put it through for over a year now with no signs of stopping! The only weakness to this cable is the thin plastic shell with the name printed on it at the ens of the cable. Mine cracked and would have fallen off exposing the wires. A quick fix (and something I do with ALL of my charge cables) was to slip a 1" section of shrink tube over the end of the cable. This secured the original cover in place and gave me something extra to pull on when pulling the cable out of the phone, which is where most people ruin their cables in the first place...pulling the cable out of the phone by the cable!

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.

From my personal experience with these headphones over almost six months I have noticed no design flaws in terms of durability and top notch construction. I've even been surprised by how sturdy these earbuds are, so to answer your question I don't think that will present you with any problem at least not for a long long time.

Yes, its durable. I through my phone in my purse a lot and it has held up. It doesn't offer much protection as a OutterBox would, but I don't think it was designed to. It's very pretty.

I've had a set of these for a few years. One broke a few months ago and that one was used to wrap and unwrap the same earbud set almost daily. I feel I got my value out of it :-)

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.

Durable yes. I dont know if their waterproof. I do find the blue tooth kills the phone pretty quick

Yes it is. I've owned it for about 2 months now and it lives up to its name. The only concern I had was to why the mesh screen by the ear speaker was on the outside of the case rather than on the inside. I plan on replacing this myself though. Also, the screws seem to not be so rust resistant. So be wary of that.
