At least in my experience. They are certainly lots more expensive than any other frame. The metal frames of some of the cheaper reading glasses seem to be made of "pot" metal (a mix of metals - usually of poor quality) and don't take many flex cycles before breaking. My only problem with titanium frames is that often the lenses are poor quality plastic and scratch too easily in the rigors of an active lifestyle. Its difficult to find middle ground but at least if you have durable frames you can get lenses made to fit into them.
