I bought mine 7 years ago, they still work but I've had issues with the left headphone cutting out, I had to resolder the connection once about a year ago and it's been working perfectly up until a couple of weeks ago, starting to have the same problem again.
It took about 4 years of very heavy use for it to start happening, though, and I'm far from gentle with them. I had a bad habit of keeping them on the floor where the cable would get rolled over by my chair and tangled in the wheels on occasion, and I know they've been jerked pretty hard off my head by the cable a few times. Your general wear-and-tear is probably much less severe than mine, and even if you do need to resolder the connection it's an easy fix.
Also there's a clear plastic piece visible here behind the AKG logo, which snapped in half one of the times I stepped on them, but they still work and feel exactly the same and that's the only part that had any damage to it. They're pretty damn sturdy in my experience. I don't know if any changes have been made to the build quality since 2007, though.
