How long do these headphones last? I would like to know before I spend so much on them, just to have them break.

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.

For me about 2-3 years before went mute. I also bought them for $25. I replaced these with sony earbuds with extra bass.

Big Time!!!!!! I've had mine for less than a year and they are broken in 2 places on the headband after LESS than normal use. I'm using them with duct tape ,as they actually sound decent, but the bottom line is, They are crap!! Do not buy them.

This will happen over time to these earphones. I bought a pair in November of 2013 and they lasted until July of the next year, so make it 8-9 months of moderate, almost daily use. If you use them less, they'll probably last longer. I really liked them and was disappointed when the earpiece came off.

I bought a used pair off of eBay, and one day the right side quit working. I called Bose, they took my serial number, and told me they were three years old. They said they don't repair them, but they replace them on a prorated basis. I got a NEW pair with a 1 year warranty for $99!

They were fine, until the headphones broke 6 months later. they weren't abused. I wouldn't recommend these.

I bought them for my son who lives in Texas. He has not had a problem. He also said, you have the option to get a warranty if you want to pay a little bit more $$. He chose just to get the headphones alone. Hope this helps.

Not too sure, however I can vouch for their durability. Keep them away from sharp objects and they should last for the life of the headphones.

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.

These guys do not honor their warranties. Noisy headphones anyway. Get some Sennheisers, or Skull Candy those companies are good

Sennheisers are generally amazing but durability is an issue, i have had two separate pairs of cx 300s and had one ear stop playing sound after a couple of months

The warranty on these is 5 years but they've been discontinued. Monster/Beats have the worst warranty service in the industry. I have the same problem and was told I can pick any IEM form their current line up but they seriously lack in comparison to these. Apparently they're reintroducing the line-up late this year, so I'd say wait unless you absolutely need them.

Since mine have not broke I cannot be sure - but I can say, without hesitation that these earbuds far and away blow past anything I have owned or seen as far as construction - durable cloth cord, heavy-gauge zipper plus more, over-all thought to construction seem to have been a primary goal in production. I hope this helps but I don't have a direct confirmation on longevity.

You definitely shouldn't buy these. I'm not sure if everyone's headphones broke as fast as mine, but my pair lasted barely a week. Now keep in mind that I take extreme caution with all of my things, and I was the only one to touch them. I never dropped them or anything, and they just broke.

I have yet to listen to them from a fresh charge to fully dead in one straight session so I cannot give you an accurate time frame but it took two weeks of off and on listening before they died the first time. You should get at least 6-8 hrs atleast from them. The sound is good, bass is not the best I heard out of head phones but it is good for ear bud type headphones.

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...
