concerned about the durability of these units. I run 2-3 mobile shows a week and I am wondering if these will hold up in the long term.

I own one, however I have used it only one time for a house party. I had to add another speaker with a heavier base. It worked well.

i have had these since early may of 2013. i use them everyday in a 2700 sqft home in a high wireless communication area and we have only had this occur once due to a lightning storm and they reset on thier own. these have been a fantastic purchase for us and our baby. from my perspective, this is a non issue.

i have had mine for about 6 months and they are holding up just fine. i have no complaints what so ever.

Reliability is not a problem with these units. The instructions are pretty lite. We had issues with getting the channels set correctly but once we got that they worked perfectly.

I purchased these quite some time ago. In order to increase the longevity of the devices I periodically sand them and apply a thin layer of cedar oil. (I bought via Amazon) I do this periodically, and the devices have worked without problems. I've had no problem with durability.

I think I bought about 8 units 3 years ago. Most have run continuously since then & only 1 has quite about a year ago. All others keep working.

I am on my second set. The first ones lasted 2 years winter and all, even when I had them almost 200% over powered. I'm sure they will last much longer with the reccomended wattage.

It depends on how much you use it and it what environments. I have been using mine on and off for about 2 months and they still seem to work fine.

That's a very good question that I was also thinking about recently. I've had my units over three years now, and they still hold their charge for a solid month. I use them 4 days a week, back and forth from work, streaming music, I'm afraid I haven't tried to research...

Yes! I don't know their longevity? If it comes time to replace one , I'm sure you will see "tell-tale " signs that it's appearance has changed enough to warrant replacement. I don't use them on a daily basis, just 2-3 times a week. I personally feel they are excellent. Compare them to others, watch " U-Tube", you will get the idea quickly.

I have run these bulbs in 2 vehicles. in my first jeep they lasted for a year until i sold the vehicle and took the bulbs out. they are now in my eclipse for 7 months. still strong. I feel they will last 2 years or more. Also heat matters to bulbs. I live in Florida which is hot and have travelled through texas and the south when it is even hotter with these bulbs. no failures. My stock GE and Sylvania bulbs on my first jeep only lasted 6 months 2 times before failing so I got these phillips extremes if that is a good comparison. by the way the bulbs are engineered to give a deeper and wider pattern than stock or even silverstar type bulbs.

I am very satisfied with the system, I use it in my classroom. I purchased it in August so I am not sure of the long lasting durability.

For the use I give them, airplane trips 2-3 times a year, they appear to hold up well. As for daily commuter use, maybe not so much. But having had no experience with the "pricy-er" brands I can't make a comparison. They do however appear to be quality construction. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

We've had ours 6 months now and they are holding up so far. For the price we paid, I think they are a better deal then buying them from Sears. They were outrageously expensive.

If they don't break due to their fragility they seem to last quite a long time. We have a couple at the shop that are on at least 8 hours a day for a few months now.

They're quite durable. I purchased this set in September of last year and I have used it on multiple cell phones and laptops. The #000 Phillips screwdriver I have used the most and I took a picture with a macro lens to show you how well it's held up. http://i.imgur.com/H4MrxbR.jpg Hope this helps

so far they have been. I've had them outside about 4 months now and still working well. I think they are a pretty good value for the money.
