A:Answer They actually do break easily, I've replaced my pair 4 times now, thank god I had warranty. Last time they cracked after only two months. Seems to be a manufacturing defect in the plastic that attaches to the earphone part, it's very thin and brittle. I've taken VERY good care of them but they just seem to randomly generate cracks after some time. I agree the sound is amazing, that's why I still bother with them....
