My 2X-S are about 4.5 years old and still going strong. They've taken a fair amount of abuse from being repeatedly wound and tossed in a computer case, seldom cleaned (clean ears though), and even had a 1" section of the cord burnt to a crisp due a candle accident (I retwisted and resoldered).
Even after being knocked around, they still fit and sound exceptionally good; remain amongst the most balanced and neutral headphones I've ever owned. Have been listening with them at work a good part of the day using the excellent Pico, DAC'd to laptop with foobar and lossless.
I understand that some builds have not been as reliable, but still wanted to weigh in with my experience. I remain a happy camper.
