Im kind of what they call and audiophile, listen to almost everything everyday. Would these hold up? There are a few cheap used sets.

Yeah these headphones are amazing with any type of music and yeah they will definitely hold up. I own a pair of these and beats I had both for over a year now and the boomphones still sound like they did right out of the box and beats I started hearing crackling in one side. The only thing with the boomphones is when you switch it to boom mode with full volume it doesn't sound that great but you can turn it down a lil and it will sound more clearer but other than that if your listening to headphone mode full volume you'll be amazed by the sound you hear and great quality built and read the comment before you buy a used pair, I always do that whenever I'm buying something used on here.

I personally don't like mine. I can hear a lot of static and also the power bottom rattles and it's very annoying.

I bought these for my 13-year-old son. Here is what he has to say...The only drawback I can think of is if you blast them on "boombox mode" 100%. The sound is of poor quality, but I rarely ever blast them. That does not affect them overall. These are my favorite headphones overall and I have had the Beats Solos. The plastic is of higher quality and the sound is just as good for the cheaper price. Overall, they are definitely worth it.

Yes and no. They sound alright without burn-in but after roughly a week or so of use they start to become extraordinary. Although that's also just your ears adjusting to the sound. If you're on the fence about these though, definitely get them. They are, in my experience, far better than just about anything within their (amazon) price-range.

They are somewhat sturdy, if that has any meaning at all. The speakers themselves are held onto the headband with plastic hinges, nothing about it is metal aside from the screws, so they may not survive more than a few falls. The mic boom's hinge will wear out easily. The headphone itself does have a fair amount of clamping force, however it should be comfortable for extended use IF you don't wear glasses

Yes, as a longtime audiophile I have no problem recommending these headphones. The dynamic response of these headphones seem quite good, especially considering their price. Understand however that the bass response of many expensive high-end headphones leave something to be desired, but these headphones have discrete bass amplification and are intended for listeners who appreciate a better bass response along with a good dynamic range. I originally bought these for gaming and because they fold up and fit nicely into my backpack, but quickly realized their sound quality also made them a good choice for listening to music. Hope this helps. Yes, as a longtime audiophile I have no problem recommending these headphones. The dynamic response of these headphones seem quite good, especially considering their price.

Kyle, I have had these headphones only about 3 months. So far they are doing well...seem to be very durable and tough. I'm not rough with them but I have dropped them a couple times but on a carpeted floor. I use mine several time a week but not every day. I use mine for listening to Spotify on my laptop. I am well pleased with them although I haven't had then very long! Very comfortable and sound good considering what my source of music comes from. I hope this helps you. Sorry I haven't had them longer to give you a better answer as to their durability!

I would say they're great for either music or video. I use them mainly for music myself.

You know? No offense, but a lot of people I know of don't really take care of their electronics's. I've had items for years without damage. Especially earbuds. They need even more care. Always store in a case. These seem to be same quality as many high priced ones out there costing more than $100 easy. I don't see why you can't keep them for years of enjoyment?

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.

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.
1144367
Yes and yes. I have been using the same pair for my workouts for about 2 years now without any damage. They work just as well as the first day I bought them. I'd give them a 10 in terms of durability, a 10 for their functionality, and a 6.5-7.0 for sound quality (they are for casual listening, not studio monitors).

try the sony mdr-w08l sold here for 8 bucks. they sound great but arent too durable. i bought 4 sets to get the free amazon shipping and i seem to go thru two headphones a year.

I think so but gold plated isn't everything you might think it is. They're easy to use and a great bargain. It's my second pack I'd that tells you anything and I would describe myself as an audiophile. Good luck!
1115982
I would recommend that you do. I bought and returned these headphones because even though the sound quality was excellent, the quality of the build and some of the included accessories gave me doubts about the durability.

Yes, and actually the sound isn't bad. If you're a real audiophile you won't like it. I'm sure, but for ordinary use they're just fine.
771539
They are very good. For the money they are great. They do have lots of bass with clear highs. I am sure that some audiophiles will have some complaints (don't know what they would say) but no reasonable person could say that they aren't great for the money.
943366
I like them . I use them playing live music thru my Amp. I use them when I record my music. I have the 40's and they sound great.

im not an expert but yes i think they would they sound better than my tv speakers, and right now for $25 it would be a great deal i paid $30 for mine at the time and ive had them almost 3 months and have not had a problem yet. hope this helps and if you do get them i hope i am right.
