You can drop them on the floor from head height (like I did by accident) and they didnt break when hitting the wood floor. Amazing soundstage. This item was just what i needed. Found it (shiny and spotless) among the clothes as i put them in the dryer. Should have to do that with a product that?s less than 6 months old?? I have dropped it and it did not come apart I would recommend using locktite on the threads of the bolts to keep them from coming loose at a bad time. But, they are NOT for a narrow foot. So beautiful picture! That never happened while music was playing so I wasnt paid much attention at first.
