If he destroys anything it will likely be that but we?ve had them over a month and they are going strong. Yes, the weight can swing a bit but as others have said, it isnt difficult to manage around that; for me, I find that it just forces very strict form which I appreciate. Another shoe brand with a built in arch. Very comfortable and a very nice fit. When I rolled over, the alternate ear bud fell out of my ear. If the volume was more sensitive on the low end you could find a balance but there isn?t much room there. Its sturdy and well built and probably a great kickstand if it fits. It helped with locating footsteps of enemies in games too with clear sounds. Wheres all that flab going to go, do you think?! Even at that I thought it was silly at first, but if you only want to buy/carry one set of headphones and need these for other activities, the ear plugs will make a big difference for the times just want to listen without the background noise.
