These are absolutely adorable. I bought them for my son's birthday and they have truly been more of a gift for me than him. It's great to know that they're safe for little ears and have a limited volume. I always receive compliments on them when I have friends over who see him wearing them. I've had them for about a month now and think they're fairly durable since I have caught him chewing the cord (and told him not to do it again). I think the main drawback is that they're actually made of fabric rather than plastic so it's likely hard to keep clean but so far they're still looking like new.
