Is the construction of these headphones sturdy enough to NOT have the hard-case? I would want to put these in my backpack.

The headphones are plenty well built to be put into a backpack with the included bag, but the hardshell case is a great accessorie to have once you have the $$$$. But if your looking for a good quality pair of headphones with the included speaker capability you will love these!

They are fairly sturdy. Depending on how much you throw your backpack around, they should be ok.

The construction of the headphones is sturdy, much sturdier than my old beats solo from the looks of it. It is made of rather tough plastic and is fine with being dropped multiple times as seen from . Though that being said, please do not be too rough on it as plastic is plastic, and it cannot survive being run over by a car or anything. Here is a stress test for boomphones @ youtube with /watch?v=f_Gak0Gw6WM behind it. I hope it clarifies any doubt you have regards to the headphones.

Well they are kind of flimsy if you can understand what i am trying to say but i would not recommend putting them in a backpack because many things can happen such as been crushed since it is plastic and it comes with a fabric bag it has 0% protection . But ive seen this guy do a test one them and they can get a good amount of hard falls before breaking . But it all up to you on how you take care of your stuff .

Definitely, these are really heavy duty headphones, i use them every day and I've had them for over a year. Even though they are plastic, they are immpressively durrable. And not to mention they have really great sound.

I wouldn't expect this case to save your headphones from 100lbs. It's semi-rigid, but it is a softcase.

They are pretty small headphones. Very good for traveling fits well in the case too.

No mine haven't broken and seem quite sturdy; I especially like the flat cord because there is less tangling so less pulling. They do fall out of my ears a lot and I've tried every adapter and so the sound is only average. Honestly, my Apple earbuds (the latest version) stay in very well and the sound is just as good. The Sol ones would sound better if I could really hear it with well fitting earbuds. So if that type of ear fits you well then they would be better. Hope this helps.

Yes, I am a student as well and I use it in my backpack all the time. It protects the headphones well. It's about the same hardness as the original beats case.

Yes they have a very hard portable case that they come with. I was actually pretty surprised. All and all its very sturdy.

Yes. These headphones come with a real nice hard teardrop shape case/w zipper; they are Really Really Nice... Great purchase... Love Em

They are indeed heavier than most headphones but they perform better too. They have powered drivers and a battery. They are not too bad until you bend over to pick something up, they can slide forward or even fall off.

I keep often keep my headphones in a bookbag. My Sony's have broken, but so far these Sennheiser's have held up

From my personal experience with these headphones over almost six months I have noticed no design flaws in terms of durability and top notch construction. I've even been surprised by how sturdy these earbuds are, so to answer your question I don't think that will present you with any problem at least not for a long long time.

AKG K702's? Mine fit great in this case. I hang it on the outside of my backpack, and it protects the headphones really well.

I would say these cases are pretty sturdy. I've not had any trouble with them breaking or anything.

I have mine for a month or two and I love it. But it is true that the case seems weak so I am very careful . I even left the protrectrice film-coat on top. I have good headphones 120 db and I adore the sound. Goodbye.

Not too sure, however I can vouch for their durability. Keep them away from sharp objects and they should last for the life of the headphones.

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

I would say yes. I've never used mine for travel but I couldn't see why they wouldn't be great for it. They sound fantastic and the fact that they are very sturdy is a definite plus. You can feel free to wear them around your neck when not in use, as they're quite stylish in my opinion, or you could use the small bag that comes in the packaging to tote them around which I find very helpful and use regularly to store my sol republics. Lastly, the simple design that allows you to separate the head band from the actual driving units of each ear and the detachable cable makes them the most portable and space efficient over-the-ear headphones I've personally seen.
