I get 3-4 hours on a full charge. you can hot swap the battery if you Pause the call First.

I've been on a call that lasted a continuous 5 hours with no issue. Putting the headset on the charging station does end a call for me (I'm using this with Microsoft Lync).

I get 3-4 hours per battery and I have extra Batteries on standby. Plantorics makes it easy to change batteries without losing the Call by putting the call on hold first.

At least 3 hours for a continuous call. Charging is quick and it does not disconnect the audio.

Mr. Fry I just saw your question but please stay away from this crappy headset. I bought one last week and upon arrival when I tried to turn it on the power switch came off in my hand. I wrote customer care all she could tell me was to try and power it on using the play button and that didn't work. I had to contact Amazon for a refund and it only then customer care wrote me. MY ADVICE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT. Don't touch it with a LONG STICK.....

Clarification: it has a replaceable battery and takes about 2 minutes to swap it out but it is not something you would do on a daily basis. Also, I have used this headset for the last 4 years and I am on it all day everyday for work.. no complaints and no issues. Also absolutely no issues with the cables that the previous answer referenced. I give this headset a strong 8.5 out of 10

No, the headset charges via micro usb (common charger for most cell phones). It is good for at least 10 hours of talk time/music. They have even updated software to accept other bluetooth headset pairing and to share music with your paired headsets. I have had a couple of other headset, but this is by far the easiest to use when riding and has been very clear when talking. Most people don't know I'm even riding (usually over 70mph) when I'm talking. The noise canceling is really that good.

I can not recall how long the full charge took. We used this with a wired head set for answering questions in a crowded area. Unit lasted about 5 hours. We are impressed with the unit and have purchased 5. We plan on purchasing more.

I get 7-8 hours of continuous audio out of mine! I listen to talk mostly, so maybe less bass = more battery? I dunno, but I've been through several pairs and always get, at least the 7 hours the nice lady inside the headphones says I'll get.

When it arrived I installed it and let it charge in the base overnight. We've been using it daily ever since, leaving it in the charger between uses. Nothing special done other than the initial overnight charge. Just be sure anytime you put the headset in the charger, to seat the headset well into its mount and you see the blinking charge light and let it do its thing. No more blinking = fully charged, ready for use.Hopefully this battery will last as long as the original, we got about 5 years or more.

I'm not sure if the battery can be replaced, most likely no. What I do know is that I played mines for about 8 hours at full volume before the battery died so I'd say that's decent. The type of battery it is you would probably get a couple hundred recharges. You may want to alternate between using it till the battery is completely drained and using it while charging. It will help to extend the battery life. Hope this helps.

I've had mine for about 9 months. I wouldn't buy it again. It didn't take long for the battery to become useless. Couldn't hold a charge. Now I have to use it plugged into a power source. Also it doesn't sync with all Bluetooth devices I have, only some. I've never tried it with headphones.

I use mine for both calls and streaming Pandora while I work. On a full charge using it heavily for five hours for music and then phone calls the rest of the day (7-8 hours); I rarely run out of juice. I don't know about replacing the battery. hope this helps. also to extend the battery life it helps to disconnect the headset from your phone or tablet when not using it.

Technically No.......unless your charger cord is very long. I usually have my spare traditional headsets, if I'm listening for longer than a couple of hours because you need to be prepared once you get the second "battery is low" message. But, they charge back up pretty quick. Hope this helps.

It's fine to leave it charging until you need to use it, will not harm the headset.

I have never completely drained the battery in 1 use . I usually charge them up at night whether the battery is low or not . I would say you can get at least a good 4 hours out of them , beyond that ,I can't really give you an honest answer. We haven't had them long enough To experiment . Between my 2 kids and I ,we have no complaints and we each have a pair they are not the best headphones you will ever own , but they are incredible for the price and sound quality.I think it may also depend on what your expectations are , we use them to listen to music and watch movies .

Hi Sir. There is no direct audio connection cable. If the battery dead you need to charge again before use, On the other side it charges very quick. !5 minutes can get you a couple hours. An hour of charging can get you 8 to 10 hours or so.

I have had good experience with the battery.... It lasts me a week or more and I use it about an hour or more per day during my daily walk. Regarding the 'choppy' audio... Initially I noticed a little of that, but moved my iPhone (source of the music I was listening to) to a different pocket and it resolved that issue. Sometimes there is a little "blip" when you are walking rapidly, but has not been bothersome to me.

I get about 9 hours of use, but truthfully my ears hurt by that point and I need a rest. If the batteries stop working, you can listen and charge via the USB cable.
