Just wondering, I'm a freshman in HS and I just want them to last me throughout college. Is this gonna be possible if I take good care of them?

Also I feal like I don't use them enough, how often do you use yours a day?

 

[toric334]

I use them everyday.

Can't see why they wouldn't last years if you put them in the case each time you put them in a bag/pocket.

The only thing I can imagine that might (might) break is the connection between the plug and the housing. If you're afraid of that, just use some heatshrink. Can't imagine that happening too soon, though.

I use them a couple of hours a day, and I'm not easy on my gear, meaning I just put them in my coat pocket.

With the much needed shirt-clip attached, I think the fit into the carrying pouch is a tight one. I am not comfortable with how much you need to bend those cords around that big housing to fit it snugly into the pouch. I know there are strain reliefs that should protect the connection but it still makes me a little nervous.

they are virtually indestructable

i carried them with me in the army crawling along trenches, cutting trees, clearing mines, jumping over barbed wires, throwing grenades.

Once it fell out of my pocket and with my player in my pocket on a jeep journey.
The thing hopped for around 20km against the ground and sounded no different. (i had to change the foam though)

Yeah. They're very sturdy and durable. Mine are a little over 2 years old, and have endured extreme use for the first one and a half years.

Heh, I don't even use the Ety pouches. Much less the Altec Lansing UFO.
