I have so far bought three of these pairs of headphones. I will edit this review after each pair breaks and change my review accordingly. If you want to scroll down to my most recent parts of this review, that will likely help you most.Before anything else, I want to point out that I am VERY rough on my electronics. I rarely have a pair of headphones last longer than a month, especially foldable ones or particularly cutesy ones (the latter of which usually only last about two weeks tops).***FIRST PAIR*** (color: pink)This pair lasted four months. Almost EXACTLY four months. In all honestly, I can't complain about a pair of headphones lasting four times as long as usual in almost any case. I have only had one single pair of headphones last any longer than this, so they're overall quite durable in my experience.To be honest, these things broke in two very particular ways. For one thing, around the three month mark, the upper three buttons on the left ear jammed and became entirely unusable. This does not at all diminish the headphones' usability; all it means is that you more or less have to control the headphones purely by your sound device, and if you use the bluetooth mode, you can no longer turn off the LEDs. This isn't really a problem for me, though, so I had no problem continuing to use the headphones. All in all, it just loses a slight bit of convenience. The point at which the headphones lost enough usability to need a new set, though, is when they suddenly snapped right down the middle between the cat ears so it no longer grips my head anymore. It'll still sit more or less in the correct spot due to wire tightness, so while I can't take 'em skating anymore, I can still use them at my computer, and none of the sound quality seems to have been lost. If I can find the superglue I'll honestly still have a working pair of headphones for all my uses.My one biggest complaint about these is the "Low battery, please charge" voice. Maybe this is petty, maybe not, but nothing ruined my music listening experience more than hearing my music cut out, not even pausing, to hear a heavily accented, slow-speaking voice sound out the words "Low battery, please charge" every roughly 30 seconds. I would be way less frustrated if it was just "low battery." It would get the same point across in way less time, and it wouldn't be entirely pointless to continue listening to my music at that point while I'm actively getting to a place I can charge it or switching to aux.Overall, good sound quality, fun to wear, does wear on the ears a little bit such that it hurts to wear them on both ears for long periods of time but that just made me feel more sure they wouldn't fall off while I was skating. Adjustable to kids' and adults' sizes; I have a very small head and both I and others with normal head sizes could comfortably wear them. An overall 8/10 in my experience. Definitely worth the money.TL;DR: This lasted way longer for me than most headphone sets do. Kinda hurts the ears after too long. Do recommend; you're getting bang for your buck. But if you can, sellers, change "low battery, please charge" to JUST "low battery."***SECOND PAIR*** (color: pink)Cutting right to the chase on this one--About a month after purchasing I dropped the things onto concrete while skating, and one of the plastic human-ear covers snapped off. Once I stuffed the wires back into the appropriate hole using a pair of tweezers, the ear cover snapped right back on and into place without an issue. However, around the four month mark, it too snapped in half right between the kitty ears. That said, this one was strangely slow to do so, and took a solid week and a half to actually do the snapping. I had tons of warning, and was thus able to get a new pair without much hassle before the prior ones broke.***THIRD PAIR*** (color: black)I will point out that I just purchased a new pair of these, as the third pair has finally broken after OVER A YEAR. I will reiterate that I am VERY rough on my electronics, and most pairs of headphones last me about a single month. I am beside myself with these things. I could not have asked for better.Now, these ones actually broke very suddenly and in a completely different way than the pink ones did. All of a sudden, as I moved to pull them off, the pin holding the hinge in place on the left ear casually slipped out of its socket, then instead of kindly snapping back into the hinge, the pin instead casually gouged part of the hinge out with it. I'm not sure I can duct tape this one, folks.That said, I am far and away pleased with this result; these things lasted me a whole year! I've only ever had one other pair of headphones work that long for me, and I only stopped buying them because they aren't available anymore.The black pair looks very sleek and goes with any outfit. It folds very nicely into a messenger bag pocket, and it went with me on many several hour trips. The ear-squeezing sensation on these ones isn't nearly as bad as previous ones I got, but I don't mind the sensation too much, as I just slip one headphone ear off to rest one ear at a time. I DID have to buy a couple replacement AUX cords, but those things are cheap and easy to buy at dollar stores and gas stations. Buy a white one if you can! It goes really nicely with the white parts of the headphones.***FOURTH PAIR*** (color: black)This one broke in a whole new way. The hinge on the ear folding part totally snapped in the middle of me just listening to some music, but to be fair, this pair sat almost exclusively in a too-small messenger bag in the folded position for most of their existence. Easy solution is to not overfill your bag, but I will say, I had this pair for about a solid year, and the sound quality remained good throughout.Next set I get'll be purple, just because.tl;dr: get a cheap, extra aux cord and these headphones are the best ones you can buy at a low price range
