Headband snap issue is what is preventing me from buying. Is there anyone that has had a pair last more than 2yrs? And still good battery life? (6-7 h

It's not just the headband... The stitching on the muffs came undone and the warranty wouldn't cover it. Battery life was just like new for the 6 months I had it for.

Honestly I'm not sure, I got rid of the headphones. Though I do need to update the review. Skullcandy did honor the warranty but had the exact same issue with the replacement headphones. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

OK well they do last a good half to full day use if fully charged. But if you are asking what is the life expectancy for the battery, I really don't know except that this product is far better than turtle beaches. Far more comfy and slick design. Just thoughts to help u out.

Lori Parker is right on. I've had my set for numerous years with great performance, only the headbands finally broke and I had to fix them with masking tape. I haven't bought another set due to the fact I was never able to get the battery compartment opened. The batteries I have are the original ones that still work but I have to charge them every night to make sure I can get performance for numerous hours. Well I did as Lori instructed, took the ear piece with the battery and place it down on my sofas soft armrest and put my palm down over the battery cover and sure enough it opened easily. Thank you Lori, now I can go and get fresh batteries. :) Lori Parker is right on.

I get 7-8 hours of continuous audio out of mine! I listen to talk mostly, so maybe less bass = more battery? I dunno, but I've been through several pairs and always get, at least the 7 hours the nice lady inside the headphones says I'll get.

Well check your warranty, I'm not sure what it is.You got a year out of em, based on my experience you didi pretty good. I've never had a pair of headphones last a year. I hope you got the service plan. I got it on my beats but since they only lasted two months, I took them back and never used it. Headphones are notorious for failing, if you spend real money, next time, get the plan. I suspect you're s.o.l.

I have not had any issues with the headset being fragile or too tight. If you leave the headset long enough they will cause discomfort but so will anything making contact with my ears for hours.

The neck ones suck for exercising. They stay in your ears-but the neck band rubs against your clothes and you pick up the sound. It's really annoying. I found them unlistenable. I only tried them because I've been forced into wearing hats when I run (skin issues). Try the Sony MDR-AS35. I ordered a pair of Sennheiser (Adidas) PX 685i. They are over the head. Have not tried them yet (still using my Sony pair). The look like they may be great. Barr Hill

After having them for a while, they are very good for running. But the trick is to have the stabilization tab set for your ears. I always have to readjust them for the perfect fit. As a matter of fact I just got through cutting grass and sweated pretty good. No problem with them staying in my ears. If you get them once you and play with them a while you will figure out what angle to put the stabilizer in for the perfect fit. You will also know when you got a good fit because they sound awsome! They are best I have had so far. I have LG730 and they always have a tendency to fall out after sweating, so I stopped wearing them for workouts. I think these are a good buy.

Do you still need this info? I just read this question I apologize for the delay. I had a bad experience with purchasing these ear buds. I definitely think some of these sellers are shady. I ended up going to best buy after the beats fell apart a month of having them.they would not refund or send a replacement pair.

Nope. No problem with battery life here, been using them for a couple of months now. I only use mine for about an hour each morning. If you leave them on 24/7 it might be a different story.

Mine stopped working the first time I used them. I know what you're thinking because I thought the same thing when I read all the reviews about the headphones: that guy is the exception. Hopefully they've changed, but a couple years ago these were crap.

Hi, I've not had any reliability issues with them. In fact they last longer than my other earphones.

I bought 13. no issues yet. Check w/ company. I hope they last longer than yours.

I have the same issue. I was hesitant to get these but they were highly recommended from a friend so I took a shot in the dark and got them. I'm happy to report that this thing has some pretty nice grip. The downside is it's tight enough that it may cause some ear irritation after extensive use but beyond that this is one of the best purchases I've made.

I ended up returning these. They never could stay in my ears or on my head. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I purchased the Motorola S10 Bluetooth and those have worked great. When I run/sweat I've had no problems to date.

These aren't the flex, they are the cheaper version which only adjusts in 3 dimensions. the flex also has telescoping earpieces. I don't know if the breakage problem has been fixed or not, but mine have been fine for 6 months, and I wear them under a bicycle helmet. By the way, best bluetooth headset by far, and Iv'e owned aboout 7 different kinds.
