I have had this bluetooth ear piece for at least 2 years. It is durable. I drop it all the time and it is still going strong. It is light weight, so it doesn't bother you too much for long conversations. The battery lasts a long time, after several years of use, the battery still goes several days between charges (with a couple hours of conversation and the rest of the time on standby, takes approx 2 hours to charge fully).
