The instructions say foam earmuffs last 6 months. How long do these really last?

I have a pair that I have used twice a day, 5 days a week, one hour at a time (for train commuting) for 6.5 years. After each use, I compress the telescoping parts and fold them up. Within the last month or two, I've just started to see some breakdown. The seam is coming apart on one side on the soft plastic that covers the foam on the part that cups the ear and touches the head. I'm still using it without discomfort. One of these months I'll get around to putting a piece of tape on it to stop the tear from spreading.

My husband says he has only had these for 3 months. However he has had this same brand that are at least 15 years old, which is why he ordered this pair. This way he'll have am extra pair if anyone visits and wants to go to the shooting range

I've used mine nearly every day, several hours at a time, for perhaps 5 years. They are falling apart now and I am back at Amazon to order another pair!

I wear mine for 1-2 months. They eventually get too soft and don't expand well and they usually are a little soiled from ear wax. I got the package and have had them for probably a year?

sorry, I can't remember but I don't think it's for that long. If kids use them they won't last long and even adults need to be careful and treat them kindly. If you buy the ears buy extra ear tips as after watching a movie our ears got sore.

I believe they are supposed to last for one year. I have been using mine for over 6 months now and it has barely changed in size.

don't know. When I buy them they are usually good for 6 to 12 months or longer.

I don't know. I literally wore them about 5 minutes in a quiet room. After that I put them up and haven't used them since.

I truthfully do not know. I do know that I do not change mine every 6 months. I would think that they last a long time as I have not seen any date on them.

I bought a pair of these in late September. After about 150 miles of running something within them has given way and makes a noticeable rattling on the control (right ear) side.. They still work though, but just bear in mind that they are a consumable that will not last for years on end. Given that they are rechargeable, I figured I'd get about 18-24 solid months out of them, but sadly that may not be the case. I'll use them till they fail or if the rattling becomes overly obnoxious. I've used them in warm temps, freezing temps, light rain and snow and they work just fine. They aren't water/weatherproof, but given the physical breakdown I'll have no qualms against using them out in the elements. I bought a pair of these in late September.

These earphones are usually good for about 3 or so years in my opinion. I don't take care of my earphones, but it still works like when I first bought it (they have lasted a year and are currently still working fine). These earphones are a good investment if you are looking to buy earphones.

Mine lasted for about 5 months with normal use, no jogging or anything particularly stressful. I don't think I would buy them again for that reason.

6 months so far. I use them about 2hrs a day for listening to music and video games. i don't see these breaking.

I wear them atleast 6 hours a day. They do not hurt my ears. Make sure to clean then regularly if you are wearing them for long periods of time on a regular basis. The material seems porous thus making them prone to getting dirty easier. Great buy and they are lasting long, no shorts or anything and I've had them for a long time for earbud headphones.

Keep them in the case whenever youre not using them and youll be fine.The earpads may get discoloured over time but if you do take good care of them, they will last.

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

reusable, depends on how clean your ears are and where you store them. I keep in drawer next to bed and last at least a week. Remember you are not plugging your entire ear canal - you are placing them over the opening going into the canal - they totally block out more sound than any other i have ever tried - and i've tried any i even found

The ear pad material is thin but comfortable. I'm on my 3rd set of these headphones and the padding easily lasts through the their working lifetime which is 6 months to a year in my case.

I game with them. When playing a real good game I can't put down, these ear phones can feel unconformable after about 6 hours. That's not too bad. They won't injure your ears after wearing them that long. You would be good to go the next day for another 6 hours. If I was taking a trip to Asia, or Australia or Africa, where I would basically have them on for 12 - 24 hours, then you might want to look else where.
