I would expect at least a lifetime of two to three years. Its a little smaller in size, i like it a little loose probably in time itll adjust. I am impressed with each of the products I purchased and I continue to be well pleased with the value of these products. Even though they are light, they dont feel or look cheap. So, 10 months later and over 1000 hours of gaming with this headset, its still a pleasure to use. - Funcionan en Nintendo Switch pero no probé el micro. I called up Sennheiser directly. Also my opinions are based off the white filters because they sound the best to me. They are basically too big to hold things like a 3-way allen wrench without it leaning over and falling out easily and too small to put a handle of a wrench or cable cutters in- Im not exactly sure what the engineers designed them for. A spare set of foam covers for the ear pieces was included - a very nice bonus.
