Well, the first pair lasted around 20 months, and I was ready to order a new pair

the cables lasted 6 months but its still good for 50$

The rubber sleeve on the standard cable, after about 6 months essentially disintegrated

The rubber strain relief broke away from the input jack a few months into using these earbuds

I used to buy headphones for 30 to 80 dollars every few months due to them constantly breaking, whether it was one ear not working or the aux end going bad

I use them for mainly exercise (long-mileage running) and would not give these more than 3 months lasting period before the sweat ruins them

I really liked the foam tip, however, they only lasted me about 1.5 months

Both of mine broke in under 6 months

One of the cords already broke though, about 1-2 months into using them.

The plastic clip that's used to hold the wire to your shirt also broke within a few months of using each pair of wires.

It's only been 6 months and they have broke

About 6 months in, the plastic on the earbud where the cables are inserted is cracked on BOTH buds; and I took very good care of them by carefully storing them in the case

I have purchased $9 cheap-o headphones for my kids at TJ-MAX that sound better than these

Also one o the cords messed up, and two weeks later the other cable completely broke

O: 10Some people may prefer the sounds of IEMs that rate lower on my scale

- cheap-o imitations.

They tend t sound shrill and harsh unless they are firmly wedged into the ear canal

n’t feel that great

I have to admit these are the best sounding IEM's I have ever used (I also use the Comply t-200's with these and love the match)
