Will these headphones last over a year with everyday use? My last few earbuds have only lasted 2-3 months and im looking for a long term pair of great sounding headphones.

Definitely, these are really heavy duty headphones, i use them every day and I've had them for over a year. Even though they are plastic, they are immpressively durrable. And not to mention they have really great sound.

Absolutely. The only thing to concider is buying a few replacement earcups, because mine have started to crack.

Have had no problems at all with the build of these headphones since I purchased them 4 or 5 months ago. Seem like they will last a long time. Depends on what you'll use them for but best suited for hooking up to a/v receiver or a headphone amp for at home use.

I've not had any problems with these but there are another pair from JLABs that I have that are BETTER JLab JBuds J4 Heavy Bass Metal In-Ear Earbuds Style Headphones Just a richer sound and I use these a lot, have had for a year. Highly recommend

Through Panasonic it should be a year warranty on those headphones. I haven't used mines that often but my pair still work flawlessly.

Depends on the size of your ears. Personally, the bottom of my ears are "in" the cup of the headphone, but the top of my ears are "out" of the cup of the headphone. They feel very natural to me. I don't even notice where my ears are in relationship to the "cup" of the headphone. Also, I don't recall how many months (should be double digits by now) that I've been using these headphones, but they haven't lost any quality in that time period. I use them daily for 5-8 hours at a time and they have held up great! Wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

I've had these earbuds for almost three years (I got them during a Christmastime lightning deal in 2011), and I work out with them at least four days a week, and hour each time. They still perform great.

How long is a long time? I probably have a pair that I use at least 3 times a week while hopping around at the gym. They may last between 6 months to a year. But they are so inexpensive, with fantastic sound, plus the ear piece stays in my ear; totally worth it to me. Good luck!

try the sony mdr-w08l sold here for 8 bucks. they sound great but arent too durable. i bought 4 sets to get the free amazon shipping and i seem to go thru two headphones a year.

I've had mine for about 6 months now, using them about every day, and thus far the only thing that has shown any wear is the leather-esque ear padding, which has started to gently loosen. This is a very insignificant thing to me, though if you intend on putting substantial wear on your set, it could lead to the material coming loose. That, however, is why I would deem these headphones as something that should not be out and about too much; an amazing at home/studio pair of headphones, not a pair to wear while dirt biking.

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!

So, these buds were purchased as a gift, but when I listened to them and received feedback from the recipient, the sound quality was and continues to be good. Good volume, dynamic range, bass reproduction, and bud-to-ear-hole fit that maximizes comfort, fit, and bass reproduction while limiting external noise. The word out there is that these are one of the best ear buds for the cost with respect to sound reproduction. If the wires stay intact through wear and tear, these will be great. For now, they've only lasted the two months sonce the purchase, so the jury is still out on the durability question.....

I gotta say that those earbuds are pretty good. I loved to sound quality ! The problem is: they are poorly built for the price... Mine stopped working in something around 6 months.

My story is almost identical: ear buds fall out when I'm running, these have been the only ones that work and I've been buying them for many years. If I was lucky a pair might last for a year before losing the sound in one ear, but sometimes it was only 6 months. Still, I was willing to pay the $8 a few times a year for headphones I could run with. My jaw dropped tonight when I came on the site for a replacement pair. This is definitely outrageous. I think Sony realized that there is a small but faithful group of people who depend on this style, and they're hoping we're desperate enough to take the hit to our wallets! This could have a hugely negative impact on my exercise regimen...

I am now on my second pair of these headphones. I take pretty good care of mine and they will last me YEARS (I'd have to estimate at least 5 yrs of use before I purchased a new pair) . For sure worth the money. I adore these headphones. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Are you listening to digital or analog recording? I have only listened to digital music with these, and they have had good response. Not having ever used say a $300 pair of headphones; I don't know how they would compare. They do beat the small earbuds by far; and are not too bad to sit for extended times on the head. You will have to sit up though, these are not that comfortable reclined or lying down.
