I've had the opposite experience to the other reviewer.I am a computer teacher to a lab full of 5 - 10 year old children. I've only had these headphones for about 3 months and at least 5 pair have ended up in the trash. This is disappointing, because I had some other Califone headphones that lasted for years. The plastic is cheap and the speakers slide away from the headphone too easily. I cannot recommend this product.
