I just picked up some Klipsch S4i to use with my iPhone. Has in-line controls and everything.

Seems to me the point is you build them as strong as possible and they won't break for several years. You'd upgrade not because you need new headphones, but because you want new headphones. I've bought several headphones only to have them break or short out in some way and then I would be left with a hunk of junk.

These things would probably be able to withstand anything from falling while snowboarding to being tossed into a booksack. And if any of you are college students, you know you don't put small but valuable objects in a booksack without protection. (R.I.P. Worms DS cartridge)

As long as the sound quality isn't subpar, I see no reason to question a set of well built headphones. Honestly, I'm more disappointed more headphones aren't built this well.]]>Apr 15th 2010 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/Apr 15th 2010 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/
Provided, of course, that the sound rocks. Crappy sound in an amazing shell is still just crappy sound.]]>Apr 15th 2010 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/
Earpiece breaks, you can even replace the entire assembly. That's awesome if you ask me.]]>Apr 15th 2010 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/Apr 15th 2010 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/
but, then again most people with pimped up SUV's don't drive them on anything more difficult than wet tarmac, and i don't take my watch down to 200 meters under the sea - even though it's capable of that - but i still have one that can... so... it's probably one of those "you know, just in case" things.]]>Apr 15th 2010 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/
There is a focus here on the durability, and that's great - but people miss the other detail about the adjustable ports and additional audio range.

My last headphones were 200$. I could EASILY see blowing 400$ if these headphones sound great and aren't likely to fall apart. In fact, I was thinking it was time for headphone upgrades!]]>Apr 15th 2010 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/Apr 15th 2010 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/Apr 15th 2010 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/sleek-audios-sa7-earphones-withstand-14-000-gs-of-acceleration/
