I purchased two of these discovery 2 years ago and after a month had to send one in for repair, it wouldn't take a charge. It was replaced and I've used it up until a couple of weeks ago, again it won't take a charge. The other one I purchased two years ago went out after about a year and yes it wouldn't take a charge. I really like the size and quality of the volume, its trendy and small for traveling, unlike the other bulky bluetooths available. I would have to say if you buy one and plan on using it for a few years take out an extended warranty, otherwise you will end up in the same situation as myself.
