I have yet to meet someone that didn't break their Skullcandies. The funniest part is that they answer it by immediately buying another pair and breaking them again a few months later. :/

That said, I save up for headphones for a while and hold onto them for at least a year. Since I use mine constantly, I aim to pay a little more to make it worthwhile. Sadly my Bose OE2s recently died in one ear after two years, though, so I'm debating the next pair now.
