Very durable, long lasting, with clear sound
597863
I have found, through my experience, that Maxell XLII high bias cassette tapes are highly durable, long lasting, and play back very clear sound.  While high bias tapes are not the absolute best for recording from CDs (metal bias tapes are), they are a big step up from normal bias tapes.  I have used these Maxell tapes for about 15 years for everything from voice recordings, to sound effects, to music.  About 10 years ago I started getting into CD burning for some of my music needs, including burning my own original music from tapes onto CD through the computer, but I still use these Maxell tapes to this day for certain things.

Cassette tapes and tape decks are becoming more and more a thing of the past.  If you still have use for them, then I highly recommend these Maxell tapes.

I've had these speakers for a good...6 or 7 years, and they're still awesome. They've survived 4 moves, as well as being kept in a box for a year, with no problems.
The subwoofer is powerful, and the adjustable volume on it is a great feature. Living on 2nd and 3rd floor apartments means having to lower the bass sometimes.
I don't think they were this expensive when I recieved them as a gift, so I can't 100% say if they're worth the current price. But I do know, with how much I've gotten out of them, they've been well worth however much my parents paid for them.

I bought my first pair of these two years ago, and only recently did they finally break. I am the kind of person who tends to drop their headphones or knock them over constantly, so these are really durable for a really great price. They broke a few days ago after knocking them onto the hard floor from my desk for the bazillionth time, and when they did, only one of the ears stopped working. The other ear is working perfectly still.
Another benefit is, regardless of the orientation of the input, the sound stays high quality and consistent, none of that having to turn the input to get things to sound right or come out both ears, ever. On that note, the sound is very good quality, and the headphones drown out most background noise very well!
I will continue to stand by and purchase these as replacements for as long as they are available because of how satisfied I am with them.
Best pair of headphones I've ever owned.

Ive tried many expensive headphones (not $1000 audiophile stuff) and this is one of the best ive ever tried. I own like 3 or 4 from different colors. and these are very durable too. have survived several washing and drying cycles

I bought these over 4 years ago and they still work great. I'm a music nut so I normally go through a pair of headphones once a year.  But these are still going a strong with great sound. I plan to buy more and stowe away for the future.

I have had these for 4 years. That's by far the longest time a headset had ever lasted for me. There is nothing I can think of to improve these. These headphones are built like a truck. The surround sound is great, the sound quality is great, and the microphone is made of a sturdy material that is very well placed on the headset itself. The wire is made out of a strong rubber that I don't expect to split open any time soon. Given the fact that I have had these for about 4 years and they still work great really tells me about the build quality. I haven't even been treating these very carefully, yet they haven't suffered a single scratch. These headphones really emphasize the saying, "You get what you pay for."

I have bought two pairs of these for DJing. The first ones have lasted 6 years, and are still in like-new condition despite traveling all over the world and being put through hell at one gig or another. The second pair were purchased as a gift for a friend who is starting out spinning records, and these are 100% the best sounding and most well-made headphones out there. They last forever, sound great, and for the price point I would never buy anything else. Plenty of base, clear, crisp sound, built to last.

I've had these for about little over 2 years now and are still as strong as day 1.  I will admit that these were kinda of confusing at first glance, setup is a BREEZE.  For all who gripe on the battery life, they either have defects or they did something unintentional with them.  Even though the manual says not to play while charged, I still do, and have been since the start, and it's still running at about 7 hours per charge.  Games feel crystal clear with the surround sound, all environment ambience blends together smoothly and for those FPS players, yes, this is flat out AMAZING for those footsteps that are crucial.
Pros:
Amazing Sound (Bass is very lively)
Durable Build (Fallen many times and not a scratch or glitch)
Features (Mute, Surround Sound, Choose your balance of chat volume and game, and a Master Volume)
Comfortable (Hours on end and no sores, adjustable headband)
Mic is clear

Cons:
If you loose your USB Connector, that's it, you're out of business.

If you are questioning between this and maybe Astro's or Tridents, this is electronic is at their level and at a lower price!

I've had these headphones for over two years and they're the only ones that have lasted. Very impressed with the quality.

I bought several of these two years ago, and they still are holding up.

I accidentally stepped on a pair and broke it, so I had to replace it.

They sound good, they last long.

Highly recommended.

I bought these headphones about 5 or 6 years ago and they're still going strong.

The two best things about them:
-Great sound quality (especially bass): only the most picky audiophile could complain.
-Durability: they've been on many vacations and car/bus/train rides, and have endured every possible form of abuse. The cords have been bent and yanked many, many times and have yet to short out on me. The folding joints (both ball and hinge) are still in great shape, and the adjustable band still stays firmly in place. The only sign of wear is that the ear padding has worn a little thin.

These headphones are definitely worth what you pay for them, and then some. They can handle a lot of abuse, so unless you severely mistreat them you're set for many years to come.

I first discovered these headphones by using the industrial version, the MDR-7506, for more than 10 years as a professional field video producer. I bought the MDR-V600's for home use, and they look and sound new after 11 years of occasional use at home.

These are an over-the-ear headphone, meaning that they fit around the ears without touching them - they sit on your head but not on the ears, which means that your ears don't get sore. This also acoustically isolates you from your environment.  However, if you sweat heavily, they also tend to trap moisture.

Sound reproduction is excellent and full-range, and due to the acoustic isolation of the phones, you will hear well and you won't hear much of what's going on around you outside the phones. They do slightly emphasize bass in comparison to other frequencies, but that's something that most people don't mind.

The screw-on 1/4" tip screws off to reveal a 1/8" stereo plug, so the phones work with most playback devices. I highly recommend them as durable, acoustically excellent workhorses that you will use for many years.

These things are TANKS. Not only is the music quality really good for the price, but they have lasted longer than any in-ear headphone I've ever owned. 3 years and two accidental rounds in the washer/dryer, these headphones are still playing my favorite tunes as clear and rich as the day I got them!

Great sounding, durable, well attached to the ear, and keeps on working strong.  I bought these headphones, looking for something for a workout and they are great.  No soft parts to get wet or worn, and the sound is very good (for the price) and they keep working great even today after almost a year of use primarily while working out.  Would definitely buy again.

I've ordered these many times before, not because they keep breaking under normal use, but because I tend to do  a lot of exercising, weights, running, biking, and hiking so these have held up the best (they also stay in your ears really well). A pair lasts me about 8 months. These have gotten a little pricier over the past year, but they're still worth the price.

I use this all of the time, music, movies and Skype. Clear sound and plenty loud for filling a room. Durable too, I dropped mine today, June 2015, from 3+ feet and its just fine. I don't know how long the charge lasts but its a long time.
