So far they are very sturdy. I bought this for my office and It works well. It perfectly fits controllers, accessories, the switch, and its cords. Phone seems faulty and not the original. Im annoyed that this problem happened but I can easily fix it if it so happens again and all the pros of the headset make it worth it and worth the 5 star rating. A good fit in this situation is different from a good fit for walking purposes. Bought this as a gift and she loves it. I would recommend for those looking for heavy usage in work meetings. Whilst the supplied case is a soft pouch, these headphones are very robust and the pouch gives more than adequate protection and make the headphones very portable and great for travelling with -the soft pouch makes them easy to stow in a computer case or an overnight bag without any problem. Much as I like and use a lot of Anker products, these dont make the cut, and sadly for a lot of aesthetic and clunky design reasons that dont have much to do with their intended functionality.
