No, hardware wallets aren't secured enough because they are just a piece of hardware in plastics that can died on you or get stolen, still you have to keep your Private Key safe so why buy hardware wallet when you have to worry about keeping private key safe?

I agree with this opinion. Whatever wallet we use, I think the most important thing is to secure the private key or seed word. Mobile wallet that is on our cellphone will also be safe as long as we protect it with a password and store seed words safely

The security of whatever wallet we do use whether it is an online wallet or hardware wallets depends on the user as well because we cannot just rely on the security features of the wallet we have if we admit on ourselves that we are not that good on keeping and protecting our own wallets. Both wallets have pros and cons so the entire security do really relies on the owner.

Hardware wallet do possess a high and good security feature to secure our assets compared to online wallets that are high risks on hackers but still if the owner is not responsible enough to keep his own password or seed that will have an access to his wallet, whether it is a hardware wallet, it can still be prone to hacks.
