I wouldn't go throwing them around, but the part that covers your ears moves as well as the mic being really bendable and pretty durable. Honestly though, it's best to just get the replacement plan on them. It covers them for two years so when they stop working you only have to pay for the new replacement plan (I think for this pair it was like $4.99) rather than paying for a whole new set. Or if you want to upgrade to a better set the $40 paid on this one goes towards the next pair. It's awesome!
