A:Answer Jenkap16, I haven't had them long enough to talk about their durability, but I can say that twisting, snapping or breaking never entered my mind when putting them on. They seem fine. The sound quality is good. I wear them mostly for walking and riding my lawn tractor. The don't drown out exterior noises, nor were they intended to, but I can hear my music just fine. Good luck with yours , if you decide to purchase a set.
