Are these earphones durable ? Is it reasonable to expect that it'll work for a year (I'll use it for about 2-3 hrs per day).

I have been using them to work out and I have had them ripped from my ear after dropping my phone, or it pulls the plug from my phone instead. The cord for sure isn't going to fray. As for the actual buds, they have already taken a beating. They feel very solid. You have to kind of wiggle the silicon tips off, but unless you are being really rough with them I can definitely seeing them hold up for at least that long, if not longer.

I have been using it from past 3 months, on an average it should last upto year with the good durability and quality, I would say certainly best buy for that price, just go for it!!

It's pretty durable. I use mine every day, for my work commute, and on my run. They get shoved in my pocket wrapped around my ipod/iphone a lot. I give them lots of abuse, and they hold up pretty well. I will say that I've gone through 3 pairs, but that was in the last 6 years. I abuse them a lot, but given that, and their amazing sound, it's totally worth it.

I've only had the headphones for about 30 days, but I wear them about 3-4 days a week and have not had any issues to date.

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.

sorry, I can't remember but I don't think it's for that long. If kids use them they won't last long and even adults need to be careful and treat them kindly. If you buy the ears buy extra ear tips as after watching a movie our ears got sore.

I can not say personally. I bought these as a Christmas gift for my brother. He has always been really rough on headphones and so far these have been holding up pretty good, so I can say they are durable. In regards to the sound quality, my brother says that it's great and that he is very happy with the bass and sound quality they put out.

I had my first pair for 10 months before I lost them, but they still worked. My second pair lasted 9 months but I am extremely hard on my headphones and use them all the time (an hour or more daily).

If you treat them gently, these can last for quite a while. Part of what I value about them is that they're affordable and still have pretty good sound for the price, so when I've lost or destroyed a pair it's no big deal.

I don't use them because they don't sound good, so I don't know if they are durable. For noise-reducing earbuds, I would recommend buying Panasonic RP-HC55-S Noise-Cancelling Earbud Headphones instead.

I wear mine for about an hour each day, listening to audiobooks on my commute or while I putter around the house. The first pair lasted a year before the sound in one ear cut out. The second pair is still going strong at eleven months, but I ordered a new pair in anticipation of their demise. I think it's a fair lifespan for $10 headphones, and I like everything else about them.

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 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.

They are good quality. 20 years? I have had them for 2 years now and they seem to be doing ok. However I cannot assess whether they will last 20 years. If you are looking for a good long term investment in your audio setup it may be better to look for options that explicitly guarantee long term duration, as this ones don't say anything about that. In my opinion, if these babies give you 5+ years, it was already a good investment, as I love the sound they have.

I've had mine for about 6 months and they work as if new. However, I would recommend the Apple earpods as another solution. They are fantastic. But, if they're a bit out of your price range, these are definitely the way to go.

They are amazingly effective. They will make your headphones sound better by sealing in base and locking out noise. I use them almost exclusively at the gym and sweat a lot. They have a limited lifespan though, and they will rip after a while. Buy a package of 3 and they will last about 3-4 months depending on how rough on them you are. Hope this helps.

They are OK earbuds for their pricing. I wouldn't call them the best but they have good sound quality and they seem to last a while. As in on most cheaper headphones, the wires inside the connection get yanked out and you lose sound in one or both ears. These I didn't have that problem for a long time. They lasted probably 4-5 months with everyday use.

Hi,THese are really good earphones, especially for the price. Although I would say they are very sturdy, as I have been using them daily at the gym for quite a while now, I don't think I would necessarily recommend them for an 8 year old. I handle them with care and they really aren't made for kids. I also think they are quite loud and I wouldn't want a noise reducing set on a child, as that could prove dangerous as well as damaging to their ears if they aren't careful.
