" ... The swivel is not reinforced by anything and is thin plastic, the normal swivel motions put torsional strain on this piece of thin plastic causing it to eventually break. ... I just got this replacement pair a few months ago and the swivel quite literally just popped apart when I went to take them off my head just now. ... "
" ... These headphones fall apart within the first year. ... The black plastic holding the earphones to the band start cracking and falling off until one day the earphones are hanging by their wires. ... "
" ... I thought it was odd they were already cracking, and not an hour later one side cracked completely. ... "
" ... Then the same thing happened within a few months, even with me being extra careful and not folding them too much. ... "
" ... Not good for travel. ... "
" ... While the features were great, the plastic part where the extension for the headphones comes out of cracked on both sides after less than 8 months of regular usage. ... I was not rough with it but it still cracked very quickly, because both sides cracked it looks like a poor design overall. ... "
" ... Unfortunately, they broke at 6 months. ... Ridiculous that these broke. ... "
" ... However, due to the very flimsy construction/materials, headphones only lasted a few months of normal use before pieces started breaking apart and rendering the headphones unwearable. ... "

" ... First pair lasted a few months then the headphone covers came off! ... "
" ... I just had the second pair of these break on me, both times this happened within a few months of only normal use. ... "
" ... You’ll be very disappointed if you get these, assuming the ones I was sent work as they should. ... After a few songs, connection to my phone was lost, this issue happens several times in a one hour period. ... "
" ... These are now broken after just over 5 months. ... "
" ... Do not buy these if you want them to last longer than 6 months. ... "
" ... The sound was poor quality, and something came loose on the inside of the headphone only three weeks after using for three weeks. ... "
" ... I’ve been using for 5 months. ... "

" ... The enclosed charging cord, supposedly can be plugged into a laptop. ... "
" ... They also were lower quality when connected via cord, which was strange but I chalked it up to computer drivers being fussy as other computers didn't have the same problem. ... Compatibility: 6/10 Worked with multiple phones connected, which is great, but didn't work well w/ cable ... "
