It last as long as you use it ...If you Care about " Cleaning your Hands and Ears " It will Stay clean longer But If you use it A lot You cannot Keep it More Because it will Looks Dirty I use it From 2 To 3 weeks with Lots Of clean and Care ...It is Good for all noisy places ..But Not For Sleep because it will Hold Natural skin Liquids Inside your ears which Is not Good ... I use one peace for Both Ears ..I cut them to two Half's and Use it ..try it then You will be the Judge Good luck

I'm thinking for a week or until they look dirty. You have to take them out in the morning and put them back in the case. Don't just put them on your night table to collect dust.

They last a long time. If your hands are clean when you use them they stay clean for many months. They are better than than foam ones and keep out much moise

I can wear one pair for up to a month, wearing them every night. I just wear them until they don't seal well any longer. There are very few products that I would ever say exceeded my expectations but these ear plugs are very superior to any other for blocking sound.

I use them for sleep and have for about two years. I do not know what the producer recommends but by always keeping them in a closed container between uses and making sure ears and hands are clean I've been comfortable about using each pair for about 7 days.

I don't use it everyday and only change for new pair when it get extremely dirty! I would say one pair would last me half year~ It can be shorter for you since you are going to use it everyday!!

I don't know how long they last for sleeping, because I use to swim, but I think they can last for quite a bit if you don't use to swim.

I have used them for years and 2 indicators dictate a change. The first is the color. When the transparent grey turns to a darker grey and secondly when the plug begins to harden and becomes difficult to insert comfortably. I would guess about 10-14 days. By the way I split each plug into 2 exact halves - the smaller piece is is more comfortable and just as effective. Best to roll into sausage shape and split in the middle.

They last a while, honestly. I think it's personal preference. The only thing to worry about is that because it's wax, it collects lint and stuff (so if you use it to sleep, that might be your main problem). But otherwise, you can change it as often as you change the regular foam ones. Since it doesn't go into your ear canal and just literally plugs the outside, it's pretty hygienic.

After daily use, 2 out of 3 of mine are still going strong after 4 months (3 kids/teens use them). One of them just stopped working at the 4 month mark. For the price, you cannot beat these earbuds.

I've been wearing them to the gym almost daily. They are very durable (cord is thicker than others that I've had). The actual silicone earbuds themselves will eventually wear out. They come with about 6 sets of replacements so that shouldn't be an issue either.

I have a pair that is going out on one side. Had them about 2 years and really like them. I think the problem is in the plug connection on mine. I use them at work mostly and when I cut the grass. I work as an aircraft mechanic and they block out the noise of jet engines as well as the hearing protectors I have. They have the same tri-flange design and fit very comfortably in my ears, and can wear them for hours at a stretch without fatigue. Sound is good too, but I'm probably not the best judge of sound quality, as I have a little bit of hearing loss at certain frequencies. I wish they lasted longer, but I give them a good bit of abuse.

I have had mine over 2 years, and hey still work great. I clean with alcohol and keep them clean in a plastic case. Wearing glasses these are more comfortable then standard ear protecton.

Longest gaming session I had was 18 hours wearing them non stop (more or less except to eat and what not). HAd no issues with them or lack of comfort. Mind you I was in a cool apartment and only had to wip the inner ear pads two-three times of sweat.

They can be used over and over. So yes! Might want a back up pair in case you lose one though ;)

I fall asleep with them on, and the charge lasts at least eight hours with the volume on a low setting. I have never left them on longer than that, and I recharge them each morning.

My guess is no for sleeping. Unless you lay on your back and never turn. They are also a bit tight on the head, so that could be annoying too. Ear plugs are a better bet...

Each pair has lasted me a little under two months. They 'slowly' loose effectiveness over time, and can get dirty from ear wax, etc., so it would be up to each individual to decide how long they last. But for me, about six or seven weeks before it's time to get the next pair. So that's about 1 & 1/2 years per package. I've been using earplugs since the early 1990's, and these are the best I've ever tried.

So, I actually have some roommates who can be rather noisy at night, if you catch my drift. It's mad annoying, so I've taken to trying to block it out when it happens. I can say that the noise isolation (with no music) is solid, but not incredible. But honestly, it's about as good as any non-fitted pair of earplugs I've tried. If you combine that with actually playing some really light music (I literally put my iPod on the lowest volume setting it can go), then usually you're in good shape. The only downside is that you've got earplugs in while you sleep. Which means you either have to sleep entirely on your back (which I can do sometimes). Orr... I take one out, sleep on my side, and keep the other one in. This also works decently well since my ear without an earplug is in the pillow, and thus solidly blocked from sound. Also, for music, I recommend chill instrumental music. I've tried other things, but have occasionally been woken up by random parts of a song that get loud.

Absolutely they will work for that. I've used them just for that purpose, sort of. My neighbor has a loud #*$&$ motorcycle he starts up every morning and wakes me up. So around 3:00a.m. when I get up to pee, I put these on. I sleep on my back anyway, so it doesnt matter. I also put in earplugs. I can't hear crap! Sometimes I even miss my alarm clock, but oh well. It does work to sleep in them if you don't move around a lot while you sleep and you can't roll over! Goodluck! :D

Depends on how waxy your ears are :) I use them about 5 times before getting a new pair, but that's personal preference...could go longer.

I also sleep on my side but have used this pillow only 5 or 6 times. So far it has been fine... no problem with my ear. Hope that helps.

As others have stated, they're over-ear. I have been using mine for the past 3 years and these headphones are unbeatable for the price that they're sold at.As for comfort, I use them at work and have them on my head for about 6 hours a day..... Most of the time, without anything playing haha. I usually tend to forget they're on my head until my ears start to sweat a little.As long as I take them off my head every 30 minutes and let my ears 'air out' for a minute or two, I can have these on indefinitely. I actually like leaving them on without any music playing to be honest. It's a comfort thing, and people see the headphones and think twice about talking to me and disturbing me at work.

That was the reason I bought them. They work the best out of everthing I tried. Ear plugs create other problems. This was the bes set of more than 12 types I tested. Being the softest gave them the best fit and didn't poke me if I rolled over to sleep on my side.

Hum? Hard to tell. One pair lasted a week another 3 days. Depends on how long they are activated. I usually get 4-5 days but I often don't use my aides except for the evening TV.
