How long do they generally last? (I've spent a lot of money on headphones before, been gentle, and they still stopped working after about 1 month.)

I've had mine for almost two years, main problem is the faux leather parts have deteriorated after the first year. I use them an average of 7 hrs per week.

Well I've had it for just a month so far and have used it excessively, but no problems with audio. I generally trust Sony as a brand.

I've had mine about a year, use them every day for at least 3 or 4 hours. Still perfect.

I bought this headphone last december, it still works well by far (I do not use it very often, not on a daily base)

I had several pairs neither one lasted more than a month before breaking. Save your money, I found some good klipsch headphones on amazon that were marked down from a $100 to $20. Accidentally put them through the wash a couple months ago and they still work, buy those.

I've had pairs that lasted months, and then I just had a pair that lasted 2 weeks. This wasn't playing extreme sports or anything, I was simply listening to music at work.

They last pretty damn long. Read my in-depth review! it varies based on what type of bluetooth your device supports. At its best using bt v4.0 with or without aptX the headset can last around 20 hours of music playing. Standby time is very long!

You definitely shouldn't buy these. I'm not sure if everyone's headphones broke as fast as mine, but my pair lasted barely a week. Now keep in mind that I take extreme caution with all of my things, and I was the only one to touch them. I never dropped them or anything, and they just broke.

They have a one year warranty. If you are like me and go through head phones regularlyI recommend getting any additional warranty you can. Especially Best Buy which will give you a new headset.

I had them for few months, then something went loose in the right earpiece. Now I have crackling noises all the time.Oh, and I lost the music cable. I had to prepay for a new one (approximately 60 USD), then it took the full six months until I got a new one. And what is a headphone without music!?

they were worth it for me. of course they are cheaply made, and will die eventually, but every set that I had lasted me a few months before something went wrong with them. if youre looking to just have a steady supply of headphones then id go ahead. but if you're looking for quality, then look at another product lol

I bought them May 20th 2014.And they still work perfectly,I keep good care of the things I buy, but I imagine it won't last long if you purposefully smash it with a hammer.With care, it can last a long time.Sound quality is great though.

hi Jerad, I am not a old customer of this product, so give me a few more months to test the Skullcandy earbuds for an honest answer to your concerns of long lasting quality.Larry

My story is almost identical: ear buds fall out when I'm running, these have been the only ones that work and I've been buying them for many years. If I was lucky a pair might last for a year before losing the sound in one ear, but sometimes it was only 6 months. Still, I was willing to pay the $8 a few times a year for headphones I could run with. My jaw dropped tonight when I came on the site for a replacement pair. This is definitely outrageous. I think Sony realized that there is a small but faithful group of people who depend on this style, and they're hoping we're desperate enough to take the hit to our wallets! This could have a hugely negative impact on my exercise regimen...

I enjoyed them while they lasted... Broke after about 1 week of use. Dropped them 1 time. They don't quite stay in your ear though. Now one earbud is broken. But great sound quality. If you think you are careful with headphones, then these should fit you just fine. If you aren't, look somewhere else.

I am now on my second pair of these headphones. I take pretty good care of mine and they will last me YEARS (I'd have to estimate at least 5 yrs of use before I purchased a new pair) . For sure worth the money. I adore these headphones. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I have yet to listen to them from a fresh charge to fully dead in one straight session so I cannot give you an accurate time frame but it took two weeks of off and on listening before they died the first time. You should get at least 6-8 hrs atleast from them. The sound is good, bass is not the best I heard out of head phones but it is good for ear bud type headphones.

Do you still need this info? I just read this question I apologize for the delay. I had a bad experience with purchasing these ear buds. I definitely think some of these sellers are shady. I ended up going to best buy after the beats fell apart a month of having them.they would not refund or send a replacement pair.

Hi Emily I have been only using mine for a month but they are the best I have ever had. So I hope they last ages. They block out the water from my ears and have good sound. I use them every day

Mine stopped working the first time I used them. I know what you're thinking because I thought the same thing when I read all the reviews about the headphones: that guy is the exception. Hopefully they've changed, but a couple years ago these were crap.
