I've heard that people have said they've broke on the trip should I get these or not?

We ordered ours in Jan. (2014) and they arrived just fine--internal box had styrofoam around speakers and was packaged in an outer box, surrounded by air-filled plastic bags. Maybe they changed the way they were packaged from earlier orders?

Iv had other brands come leaking but these came completely intact and fully functional. Get em

I had the first pair shipped deliver perfectly. 2nd pair had issues, but LiteAhead and Amazon worked with me to make sure i ended up with good working speakers. The speakers are higher quality than what else is out there. I would order them. LiteAhead was working with Amazon to make sure they are packing them better.

I haven't needed them but based on other responses, I don't think so. Just be gentle, don't over pack and add luggage straps.

I broke one when I knocked my bike over in the shop.I had another one crack where it tightens on the ball after a lot of rough miles.I bought another set and keep the parts that are usable for future use.At the price, I love them. Of course, if you buy the famous name brands for $50 and up...Let us know if they are any better, because I doubt it.

I only were them on the trip on metro so I can't speak to long term. So far I have been happy with them. Can get a little warm but that may be just me.

Yes, they are awesome mics, except for the fragileness...if you're careful with them, they are great. If you don't care for them being fragile/touchy, you'll need to go with very more expensive mics...which will cost hundreds of dollars.

Yes! I've had mine for over a year. Just don't drop them or they will break..

I have not compared, but I generally have not used any active headphones that are acceptable for general use (from a fidelity perspective). As I only want one pair, and flights are a small component for me, I would use these as they seal off ambient noise quite well. I have not used them on a plane yet, but am certain they will not isolate that noise very well. f you can afford two sets and wish to carry two on trips, get noise cancellation. If you want one set and fidelity is key, get a better single set.However, maybe there are great active sets out there that I have not tried.

Yes they are good for traveling. The back of the package says "Where to use" and shows a van, plane and house.

My guess is that they would be fine. They come with a plug in charger--so you should charge them fully before your trip. If you want to know for sure, you could contact the distributor or manufacturer.

If they dont break in two weeks. I had two pairs break and its not isolated to me. Look at the 1 star reviews. These head phones break for a lot of people.

From my experience definitely not. I'd look for a better clip. I couldn't use them without them snapping and breaking.

I don't think they would break. I have dropped them on my stone walkway (I have about 20 of them on the path to our house) when we were installing them, and they didn't break. They are heavily walked on, snow blowed over and many things dropped on them, and to date, none have broken. I have had them in place for two winters now.

I would have to say YES as my mirrors fold. To add to that I read reviews about these before I bought them and some said that they thought that mirrors vibrated too much. Well I bought them, went on a 1700 mile trip and had NO problems, they paid for themselves on that one trip. Hope this helps.

Yes, but I am not 100% happy with them. That said my F/O this trip has them and really likes them

Not really. Once you've rolled them, they will slowly let in air over time. They're good for travelling because you're going to unpack with 12 to 20 hours (probably).

I just ordered a pair and will be using them for a my flight Orlando -> LAX -> Sydney at the end of August. I'll let you know how it goes.
