These surrounds should last 20-25 years. Our company has been in business 22 years and have seen the surrounds hold up. Our in house foam repairs are warrantied for 7 years. You should have got way more than 8 years out of a professional repair.

I can't say for certain, but I suspect that 7 to 10 years is par for generic aftermarket surrounds. I worked in a stereo store for 17 years in N. CA and had my surrounds replaced both on JBL L56's ( 10" woofers ) and a B380 ( 15" 2235 Sub ) by our repair shop. The 2235 repair kit was from JBL and cost more than both of the aftermarket surround kits for the L56's. The L56's original's rubber lasted 22 years and the foam kits lasted 9. However the 2235 JBL foam repair is still holding up well at 12 years. I think the manufacturers only use the better and more expensive foam for everything except their cheapest speakers! In fairness, this particular brand could be much better, only time will tell! I can't say for certain, but I suspect that 7 to 10 years is par for generic aftermarket surrounds.

They should last you about three months. I am just now replacing the black and the color is still at 70%. But I would say they are on the minimal side.

I had mine set over a year now and they are still fine, once a year I have to clean them with my Bissell machine and they look great like new again.

Lifetime on frame/hardware, 5 years on upholstery. Replacement or repair, not including shipping.

They are LED so they should lasts for around 50,000 hours on. I have had them for 3 years. I have 12 lighs throughout my home. I have had 1 go bad in that time. The whole thing (light and speaker) went bad.

Mama T answered the question as far as I can tell. I have had them since 2009 and they still look good as new. Not one problem.

I don't know how long the Polk speaker warrantee is in force, but I can tell you, the speakers for my rear surround system are fantastic. I fully believe in Polk. My older Polk tower speakers are still putting out original equipment sound on a separate stereo. I would not invest in any extended warrantee.

Keep 'em clean and they should last much longer. I'm at the 6 month point right now and they are still working really well.

These were installed on the rail of my sailboat and survived 10k miles and 4+ years like that. The mounting brackets rusted, but the speakers themselves were fine withstanding some UV damage of the plastic. There are VERY durable speakers.

If you wipe them down after each session, and you don't break them--they'll be good for 8-12 months at least.

I got a warranty on a refurb surround system on ebay. Everything else I've has been new. Squaretrade is the best.

I've had mine exposed for three years now with no problem. I bring them in for the winter however.

I have not used for long period. But, I hope them to last very long. Originally, installed bulbs worked for about 10 years as under cabinet lighting.

I would say you probably want to remove them if not used for a long period. Otherwise, probably ok especially since they take a little time to install with good placement spacing and tight. They are plastic and rubber so they probably will degrade more if left on and outside.

If you took good care of them they will last a year or two. I've used them 20+ times and they are still in their purchased condition. They don't require any adhesive to stay. I wash them with a mild soap and just let them dry. The case they come with helps keep them protected.

I had mine for 2 years. They come back year after year. A friend of mine has had them for years.

I believe its for 2 years. I've gotten replacements twice in my 8 years with Shure. It's covered if it's through no fault of your own.
