Is the item durable?

I've had the original Image S4 for a few years. I'm very tough on my earbuds with daily use and they've lasted. One of the differences in the S4 II according to CNET is the cable is flatter and much less tangle prone which has been a major complaint with the first generation's rubberized cable.

As I understand it, this is the second iteration of the product. It was re-engineered to be more durable. I made sure I bought the "new II" version (it was full price vs. the "I" version which was discounted). They are visibly different versions. So far it appears to be durable. I took a long walk wearing them yesterday, and no problems from sweat. If you tuck the earphones tightly into your ear (they come with multiple sizes of slip on ear buds) the bass is pretty good for something so tiny.

This is a tough question to answer. I feel like, in general, they are more durable than the classic style of earbuds with a rounded cable, but I don't have any physical proof of this. I know that the older generation of these headphones that I owned held up to abuse pretty well; I generally just tossed them in my pocket and they still lasted over a year. That being said, they aren't going to be as durable as the ear buds marketed for sports/activity. I think overall they are well constructed and they have been kept almost exclusively waded up in my pocket for a couple months without visible wear. This is a tough question to answer.

It's pretty durable. Ours has been dropped and knocked off the table numerous times. I'm pretty impressed with it. We've even used it as a flashlight on more than one occasion :)

I don't think so. I do not think it is durable...I threw mine away after using it one week.

Has been pretty indestructible for me. I certainly don't use it every day, but using a once a week for a few months, it still seems like new. I expect to get many years of use from it.

Yes. It is durable. It does require cleaning after long term use which is done via Qtip and alcohol

I have found it to be durable so far. We have had it for about 6 months and my toddler has been jumping/sitting in it and have shown no signs of wearing. Besides needing to fluff it up every couple of days we really like it.

Yes, I'd say it's durable. As turtleperson mentions, the clamp that holds it is made out of plastic, and it probably wouldn't take much to break it. As long as you're careful during installation and so long as nothing crashes into the unit after installation then it will be fine. The pump itself is very durable and I don't foresee having any durability issues with it.I've had mine for 3 months now, and I love it. Water used to just trickle out of my RO faucet before... After installing this pump I actually have to be careful to not turn the faucet all the way on when filling ice cube trays or water splashes everywhere due to the higher pressure!

So far...mine has held up very well. Looks the same as when I bought it ... I'm guessing 2 yrs ago. Worth the $$$

I have been removing it from my home & office desks twice a day, it has been durable sofar, but it has only been a week since I began using it. I'm also interested in knowing the long term durability.

It appears to be very durable. It should last several years if taken care of properly - no dropping of parts and keep the parts clean.

Hi Grace! So far I am quite pleased with the durability of this item. My son is 16 months old and bangs around on it all the time. Sometimes he brings it to me in the kitchen to turn it on and drops it on the tile with no problems. He got it for his 1st birthday and it has done well so far.

Yes it's very durable. I hit a few rocks and some minor rapids and it handled it just fine.

Well... we've never actually dropped one, but I can attest that the product is very durable. We've owned one for years, and given a couple as gifts, and never a problem.
