I have had the red ones since they came out and they feel fine in my ears and have never broken... man, I didn't realize how lucky I was heh. Also, there are different sizes of the little rubber plugs that fit into your ear, so you can change that to the right size for you to be more comfortable.
i had red ones they half broke after 6 months then i had silver ones they broke after 8 months, they are not built to be long lasting but the sound quality is immense
