I guess that relates to how good the quality is and what you do with them. I have several closed ear and ear buds and both last me a long time (over 5 years). Some brands offer replacement ear pads (like Koss) and I have one pair of their phones that is at least 10 years old.
I tend to fall asleep with mine on a lot and I guess they get more wear and tear that way because they never tend to last more than a month or two before they start falling apart.
Mine never seem to last very long. I thought it was just me, but there are so many other people here saying the same thing. I guess they're just not made to last.

Wow, I need those tips gofar. I guess mine are always malfunctioning because of the way I handle them. Owning a pair of these for more than 3 years would be a milestone for me.
I hear you. I've never owned a pair that lasted over a year and I thought that was the normal span for them. I guess I could look after my earphones better to make them last longer.
My headphones never last me very long. The last few pairs I had were either eaten by the dogs or my granddaughter! I try to never buy ones that are too expensive for that reason!
