How often do the earpiece covers have to be replaced? Please specify how much you use the headphones.

I use the headphones at least five days a week. So far I have not needed to replace the covers. The covers show no sign of wear after six months.
805920
I wear mine every day for hours and have not yet replaced them. They are around a year old.
805921
I have had the headphones for over an year and wear them almost everyday at the gym as well as often on my bike. I have yet to need to replace them.
805922
I use them pretty much everyday, and the covers haven't come off yet, in about 3 or 4 months or so. On most headphones like this they come off pretty quickly for me, so these have been an exception.
805923
I use these headphones almost every day while I exercise (especially during my jogs), the only exception being Sunday, when I just turn on the computer and play my music while I clean. I have owned a pair for two years before the earpiece covers began to wear down, and the only reason I didn't replace them was that a bird bit through my cord, forcing me to throw them away, anyway. I highly recommend these headphones to anyone who is interested in long-lasting, durable headphones. Love my Panasonics, and they're the only brand I use anymore.

I use the headphones for hours everyday and have never had to replace the covers but I have had to replace the headphones a few times over the years as one side will quit working but that's common with most styles I've tried.

I don't use it outside, I use them only inside so they don't get sweaty, and I have had a pair for 5-6 years and have never replaced the pads, the more you use them, the foam will deteriorate. I keep them in a pouch to stay clean and dry. but you can replace them in a bulk pack on Amazon.

I have a pair that I have used twice a day, 5 days a week, one hour at a time (for train commuting) for 6.5 years. After each use, I compress the telescoping parts and fold them up. Within the last month or two, I've just started to see some breakdown. The seam is coming apart on one side on the soft plastic that covers the foam on the part that cups the ear and touches the head. I'm still using it without discomfort. One of these months I'll get around to putting a piece of tape on it to stop the tear from spreading.

I have no idea. I haven't checked into the aspect of replacement parts. My husband has had no problem with the ear pieces, thus far. I'm sorry I could not be of any help to you.

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).

I've had mine for about three years. I use them daily and travel with them. I keep them in a soft cloth pouch and toss them into my dance bag and haven't had a problem. Only recently did the top of it start to peel off, but it's more from carelessness on my part. The sound, fit, and connections are still perfect. Hope this helps.

I wear mine for 1-2 months. They eventually get too soft and don't expand well and they usually are a little soiled from ear wax. I got the package and have had them for probably a year?

I had to have mine replaced after less than a month. The volume/skip controls were the reason I had it replaced. The connector rusted I think. With my current ones I have been very careful in protecting them from direct skin contact. 3 months later and still good. I really don't think they are sweat resistant.

A bit. Only issue I have is that the earpieces fit tight against my ears and become uncomfortsble after an hour or So. Would be dependent someway on head size. For the price would still buy over the $$$ headphones

Same thing happened with ours, and the plastic started to crack and fall apart. We do not know of any replacements and ordered new headphones.

Both of mine is about six months and I've had no problems with them. They are not a high quality headphone set but if you take care of them they will last.

you hit the nail right on the head. Ear piece is still a BIG problem. I am on my 2nd one (ear piece) and it's starting to give me a problem. Wish they could make a stronger one.

I'm in complete agreement with lack of durability. What I do now is use ordinary earbuds and Nexcare absolute waterproof tape to keep them in place. Works perfectly and I no longer search for the perfect runner's style headphones. Opens up choices anyway even if durability is still an issue.

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.

I have had these headphones for about a year and have walked a few times with them on. I have not experienced problems

Mine lasted three months and one week. The sound was great, and the ribbon cable did prevent twisting. The screen in the left bud fell out several weeks ago, but they still worked fine. Today, however, the sound started cutting out on the same bud. Same issue as another member had, jiggling the wire at the plug would get it back, but during a run that fix lasts about two strides. I've had just as good luck with $20 headphones.

Yeah, they are pretty durable for earbuds in this price range. I use them all the time (like 4 hours a day) they are in and out of my pocket and my kids play with them. They last me about 7 - 10 months, I guess.
