I cant speak for durability because I dont wear these super often. If you like cheap but good earbuds that sound pretty good buy these. The seams are sturdy and theres nothing left raw on the edges like you might find with some laser cut undies. All my life I have had to take someone elses word for what my ear canal looked like and if there was any wax in there. My son finally gets to open his gift, only to find out that each game we tried, gets the error message that I attached in the photo. I just bought my bluetooth but it disappointed me because the pieces were coming off. It has manual gain control via a small wheel on the left side, as it should be. I chose this style, after literally years of not wearing heels, because my feet are a bit wide but not too wide, and since childhood, Ive always struggled for this reason with sandals, as my little toes on edge of foot would always seem to slip out of the fashionable straps that frame the "upper" part, terribly uncomfortable as a result. Ive worn a Medium for years, but this Medium does not fit. Out of the box, there was not enough charge to turn it on let alone pair the Bluetooth.
