Is the headphone well-made or is the material flimsy and susceptible to easy breaking?

These headphones are durable and are of exceptional quality. Extremely well made they are as close to studio quality as the common person can get for the price.

the headphone is well-made and it has no problems except the cable which was not good and you can hear good but when I bought a new one from wall mart the sound was good

Headphone is well made. They don't rotate 90 to fold flat. Instead there is a metal hinge (instead of plastic like most headphones) that the headphones fold at. This is a good review for the durability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxkNsk16DlI

They are very solid. I dropped them off my bike twice no damage. The cord detatches too if it get caught on something. I absolutely love these headphones. Highly recommend.

They are fairly well made. You can't throw them around since they are somewhat filmsy but once on your head, they fit great and are very sturdy.

Not flimsy at all. although the folding mechanism is not exactly smooth... Creaks somewhat....

It is very very light. i just tried removed the foam after you question, i don't feel anything i wore headphone. You can definitely have this. You will feel only when cord is hanging if you dont clip it.

It's rubbery/felxible**... I have the earphones for 3 months now, and everything is perfect at the moment **Edit

They are fairly low profile compared to other earphones. Can't say they won't break. Mine have been pulled pretty hard during ski season and still work ok.

No bad experiences. I find the cable sturdy and tangle-resistant. The cord is surely more durable than most other earphones I've had, but then again, I've never had the more "flimsy" ones break. Cord noise is low.

Kyle, I have had these headphones only about 3 months. So far they are doing well...seem to be very durable and tough. I'm not rough with them but I have dropped them a couple times but on a carpeted floor. I use mine several time a week but not every day. I use mine for listening to Spotify on my laptop. I am well pleased with them although I haven't had then very long! Very comfortable and sound good considering what my source of music comes from. I hope this helps you. Sorry I haven't had them longer to give you a better answer as to their durability!

I can't speak to the issue of poor workmanship, but recently the clip (connective piece) that attaches my right speaker phone to the rest of the headphones separated from its post. I e-mailed Grado Lab's customer service department about the problem, and within a week or so, a new post/clip arrived int he mail, without any cost. I am satisfied with the experience.

If they dont break in two weeks. I had two pairs break and its not isolated to me. Look at the 1 star reviews. These head phones break for a lot of people.

I've had mine for about 8-9 months and they seem fine. Good as new. The only downside is that I use them day-to-day and not in a studio, so I have to tie up the length of it, but that's not a durability issue. The audio jack has been a little iffy lately, but I'm not sure if that's my phone or the headphones.

I had to have mine replaced after less than a month. The volume/skip controls were the reason I had it replaced. The connector rusted I think. With my current ones I have been very careful in protecting them from direct skin contact. 3 months later and still good. I really don't think they are sweat resistant.

They are. However, they are very fragile and break easily if over adjusted. The customer support is the WORST I've ever had to deal with. My Son's headphones had a manufacture defect, I sent them in and it was well over a month before getting replacements. I made plenty of contact with barely a call back. I'll never buy their products again.

I haven't had them long enough to say how well they hold up, but as far as earbud cables go, they're probably average. Not particularly thick or thin. Seems to me like they should hold up OK. I'm a pretty light user and they won't take much abuse so I'm not concerned for myself.

This is a tough question to answer. I feel like, in general, they are more durable than the classic style of earbuds with a rounded cable, but I don't have any physical proof of this. I know that the older generation of these headphones that I owned held up to abuse pretty well; I generally just tossed them in my pocket and they still lasted over a year. That being said, they aren't going to be as durable as the ear buds marketed for sports/activity. I think overall they are well constructed and they have been kept almost exclusively waded up in my pocket for a couple months without visible wear. This is a tough question to answer.

I don't use headphones but I have never had it break off inside. Usually the ridges that hold it in place get worn down through use and it falls out.

the hesh 2.0 headphones appear to be holding up to my teenagers treatment - so much so - the other day they were in the backseat of the car and rattling around on the floor (accidentally) and my son told me not to worry - so I think they are made well enough to hold up for years to come

Yes, the cable is very thin and fragile for the price given. The most area where I am experiencing the problem is the headphone jack area. I've just ordered couple of heat shrink tubes, which I will use to reinforce the headphone jack area. The earphone connection part is actually more sturdier then competing brands so I think, if any problem were to occur, it will be the headphone jack area.

The construction of the headphones is sturdy, much sturdier than my old beats solo from the looks of it. It is made of rather tough plastic and is fine with being dropped multiple times as seen from . Though that being said, please do not be too rough on it as plastic is plastic, and it cannot survive being run over by a car or anything. Here is a stress test for boomphones @ youtube with /watch?v=f_Gak0Gw6WM behind it. I hope it clarifies any doubt you have regards to the headphones.
