Very durable. Have had it for over a year without any problems. Have dropped it over a dozen times, still works like new.

Hey, yes it definitely is. Has a nice hard shell and when.you spin the top it pops up for more sound.. I think this little guy will Last some time..! !

This speaker is awesome. Durable, always holds a charge and weeks after bumping around in a duffle bag you can plug it in for music and it still has a charge. Great item.

I have had mine for several months now without any problems, still works great but I don't use it daily.

So far both of mine have held up. Just got back from a week long car trip. Stereo system went out in the car and we used the speakers a lot. They got bumped around in the car and going in and out of hotels. They are still working.

Same thing here. I will be returning it and getting a new one as it was a gift bought from Amazon. I loved it while it worked!!! My husband has the same one and his is still going strong after 1 week! --Hope it lasts! After 2 days I had 240 songs in it for it to go down. Frustrating. Maybe a bad batch? Hope the new one is better.

I'm just really lazy and have left it on since I received mine on March 9th for weeks-month at a time with no noticeable damage. No buzz with my speakers, I just came here slightly concerned about the amp itself but realized it's such a good value that if it stops working it wouldn't be a tragedy. PS: love the sound quality. Anyways, it'd be nice to have a remote but instead I just leave it on :P

I'm not sure I can give a good answer - bought for my granddaughter which has only basically been used as a toy and can't say that I can just exactly how the quality was based on her screaming into the mike --- appears to be a nice durable piece otherwise.....sorry

I feel as if the real question you might be asking is whether or not it "falls" apart. I've had mine for months and I use it often. I've had no issues with durability as of now.

Hi Malia. I've listened to it 7 hrs straight and battery was still going, and I read that it lasts up to around 12hrs... Which is pretty good fir a portable speaker. It's small but sound is great. Hope that helps.

I tested it when I first purchased it nearly a year ago, and it lasted at least 12 hours at a useful volume. Still very happy with it.

I haven't played music through it to the battery died yet, but I have listened to music for over 4 hours on it. I would have to say they are good speakers for in house (bathroom, dining room, balcony etc...).

Hi, I think it's pretty durable, though you might get tiny grains of sand blown into the speakers. The solar feature would be great outside in the sun. It's heavy enough to withstand some wind, though not 59 miles an hour gusts.

Not very well! They contacted me once concerning the extended warranty and then would not reply after that. I'm not sure they are still in business. I like the speakers, but are hesitant to buy anymore.

It is not one that can be left outside 24/7 and still remain functional. I use mine outside while I am in a hot tub. I have used it uncovered in snow. Covered in rain. It played for about 15 minutes in minus 10 degree weather but then stopped. Everything has limits. I bought this speaker to replace $300 wireless all weather speakers and I have no regrets.

It has a good warranty. I bought a pair which stopped working, and Spinnaker apologized profusely and sent not one but two replacements. The third pair still works, but the controller ran out of juice and I have not been able to find the charging cord. However, they defaulted to full output in the absence of a controller, so they still work great as speakers for my TV, just had to rig up a phono jack to RCA-in to my receiver. Mind the speaker cables as they are prone to issues. Otherwise they look super cool, just don't expect a large amount of sound out of them are they are essentially high-end computer speakers. Treat them delicately and you should be fine. It has a good warranty. I bought a pair which stopped working, and Spinnaker apologized profusely and sent not one but two replacements.

Honestly, I love this thing, but the speaker is horrible. My Galaxy S4 phone is louder and sounds better, which is kind of sad in my opinion. My battery lasts longer than my 12-hour work day with moderate use but not heavy use. Obviously it'll depend on what you're doing. Anything that requires constant screen use is going to severely limit the life of the battery.

I've had mine for a few months and my son uses it everyday. It still holds up and sounds great.

I can play mine 24/7 for about 2 to 3 days. And, it's probably capable of playing longer. I just getit on the charger before the warning starts going off. I really like it. Not meant for someone who is extremely rough on things. But, if taken care of, I can see this player lasting a very long time. Really like it!

This thing is pretty awesome! The battery lasts for a while and it bumps pretty loud. The blue tooth is pretty sweet as well. I would recommend it. I don't really know how it compares to the other speakers you said because I have not listen to them. Good luck!

http://www.fugoo.com/technology/ ,, wouldn't worry about how many watts are in a speaker this small, this speaker is very tough, clean sound, battery lasts a really long time, 360 sound, so all in all its an amazing speaker well worth the money in my opinion. i have done some abusive testing on it the first couple times i took it out and it never skipped a beat, this is after losing it underwater for over 5 minutes, throwing it in the air about 30 feet and having it land on concrete so if you need a rugged speaker this is your choice.
