I wear them every day in the winter, and not at all in the summer, so Ive basically had them for 8 months of active use. I made sure by putting my finger in the holes to align accurately. Llegan en perfecto estado y originales Def. The easiest way to tell if Beats are real are not (at least the Solo 3) is that authentic ones have the W1 chip that will automatically connect to your Apple device, and fake ones dont have that Apple W1 chip. Seriously to think that these have had so many positive reviews after actually having used them for a good few months now completely astonishes me, because in short these headphones just sound ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! great style and quality shoe! Sole of shoes are thick enough to walk outside with. Sie sind wirklich herrlich bequem und schön warm. Comfy and sturdy so far.
