How portable are these? Do they fold up nicely? I would possibly be buying this for my girlfriend who will be studying abroad this upcoming semester.

They do not have folding frames. The earpieces rotate 90 degrees, giving them a slimmer profile, but the frames do not fold like some other headphones do. As far as portability goes, I take these to my college classes by slipping them into one of the thinner pockets of my backpack and it seems to work great. Hope this helps.

They're not notably portable. The ear peices fold in to flat so the carrying case isn't as cumbersome as of they didn't fold. However, these absolute need to be kept in the case if in a bag or they will break. It's happened to me and a few others I've known with them, but overal it's worth the trouble over earbuds and I'll keep buying a new pair of these every 4-5 years I may accidentally break them. But really, keep them in the case or on your head or neck.

I haven't had to travel with them, but unless you have a lot of room to store them when you travel, then you'd probably need to break them down. They weren't easy to assemble, I agree with you there!

They don't fold.Only the ear muffs rotate so the whole thing is more flat.As for the sound quality it's good, it doesn't squeak or show any irritation when playing sounds of low/high frequencies. It doesn't "rattle" when playing high bass.I personally find them very good headphones in all aspects:SoundBattery lifeDurability The only thing I don't like about them is the mic quality, people always say I sound very very far from the phone when using these headphones.But overall they're definitely worth the money

I agree with the other answers - it will fold to a reasonable travel size. Our only problem was that it leaked - some items did get quite wet.

Hello, and yes this would work, but I would also recommend a fold up style as well. We picked one of these up at Target, it is not as durable, but would take up less space to travel with.

Durable enough? Probably. I would put them in some kind of sack to keep them a bit safe. what you see in the pic is how they fold up.

well, it's 16" x 11" by 3" when folded up, and it's made of solid wood. so if you put it in a backpack, it's portable. it's totally worth bringing anywhere you have a lot of reading to do and will be there for a while, but you wouldn't want to keep collapsing it and moving it. i own 3 of them, and i set them up in various places in my home where i do a lot of hands-free reading so i don't have to keep moving them!

You're welcome. I should have mentioned that they don't fold up unless you remove the lock screws.:)

Noo! I took it to the Bahamas as an extra bag. Since it is foldable, you can put it in your pocket or bag and have it in case you need it. It is very thin and flimsy. I wound up using it for my wet towel and flip flops. Do not put anything valuable in it, as the zipper will open from the weight. Your laptop will go crashing to the ground.

I believe you could and that is a great idea. Because they fold flat they will travel easy.

Yes, it is very portable, but you need fold the book stand, and it has certain weight. I suggest to carry it in a bag nothold on like a big book.

Sorry, I gave them away right after I purchased them... They were a gift. They do fold, but not in a extra compact way. They are nice, so you should keep the box to protect them.

No, the do not fold. Transport to school was sort of a pain. However, I think it's actually studier in the long run because they don't. It seems to carry a good deal of weight.

I would say it is fairly portable if you are going on long trips by car. If you are planning on hiking or carrying it in a backpack I would advise against it.

They are portable, but leave the 3 soft boxes completely together. Arrive and put on the stand and you're ready to go. You cannot assemble and dissemble quickly. It takes for ever and you could break them. But if you leave them together, they're portable. I love them. My first location shot was of two people, two lights and two canon 7d's. I color balanced for the daylight soft boxes, and let the back ground in the next room turn gold. Turned out just as I thought they would when I bought them. The two light stands are good, but the boom is great.

It is foldable/small and comes with a carrying case for travel. I don't recall it coming with travel adapters/converter for use overseas.

It doesn't fold up. You'd have to disassemble it. It's not too difficult to disassemble and re-assemble, but it's more of a pain than merely folding it up.Truthfully, I don't know that I'd use it to travel and gig with...especially when you have it setup at the higher levels. It's stable enough for home use for me at the higher levels, but I wouldn't trust drunks around it. I'd pay the extra cash for something for stable.
