What's the battery life on the headset? How long does it take to charge?

In my environment I receive about 40-60 calls and they average about 5-10 minutes each. The headset does not last the entire day but if I leave in the cradle after each call, I don't have any issues. The only downside beside the additional wear and tear of the battery. Is that if i get towards 80 calls, I have to have my wired headset to back up that busy of a day.

It charges in as little as 20 minutes for light usage. It might take an hour or two for a full charge. I rarely run out of battery in an eight hour day but if I have constant usage, I might need to charge it after five or six hours. I just put it on my charger during my lunch hour and it is good for the rest of the day. I always leave it on the charger overnight and it normally lasts and eight hour day with no other charging necessary.

My headset would go the whole day of me on the phone without dying.You have to make sure it is properly cradled or it won't charge up

Ordered it last year and my boss uses it everyday all day still working with no issues.

I would say that mine has an average life of around 12 hours when its fully charged. There is no volume control on the actual speaker though, you have to control that through whatever device you are playing on it (phone, computer, etc)

The directions are very good, but if you just plug in the device to the wall and then the one into the back of your TV (audio), it's that easy. Be sure to charge the headset initially for 16 hours before using the first time. Mine work great!

Good question. We use the headset all day long 8-10 hours and haven't had a failure yet. I think some of our call takers put the headset back on their charging station when they go to lunch for an hour each day which may account for the longevity. I know we use them non-stop and that hasn't been an issue. In terms of the battery actually failing completely, it takes a year or more before it needs replacing.

It will play for a long time. I listen two it for about two hours at a time every weeknight and I can go about the whole week before I need to charge it. It sounded like it had a wire loose in the one headset because when I first got it, it would play in both ears depending on how I laid on it.

For me, this thing is unusable. The headset battery is about worthless as it discharges on its own in less than 12 hours. You could keep it plugged in to the USB all the time, then that would not be a problem.

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

The battery is not replacable - at least it's not accessible in anyway that I can see. I understood when I bought it that once the rechargeable battery stops charging, it's time for a new headset. It is charged by plugging it in to any USB port. In my opinion these are great headphones for the price. Even though I'll have to replace it eventually (3-4 years??) I could buy 4+ of these for what I'd pay for other headphones. They're not noise cancelling but the sound quality is excellent.

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

I have had my headset for about 2 years with no issues. Battery life is still long but not quite as good as when it was brand new.

Unless you switch the on/off to off, the headset would continue to use the battery while charging. When not in use, I turn the switch to the off setting and hang the headset onto the charger.

It takes about 30 minutes to charge. It will usually stay charges for around four hours.

Hi Gregory --- As I remember, there was one (1) battery with the headset, but I also ordered two (2) spares at the same time. I have found that one full battery will last for about 2 hours. I always have my other two spares mounted in the transmitter which keeps them fully charged. This process has worked perfectly for me, and the headset does a great job of dealing with my slowly increasing deafness. God's blessings. Larry Dube'

Hookup is simple: Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet and into the device. Connect the audio in of the device to an audio out jack on your TV. The rechargeable batteries hold a ten-hour charge after charging the headset in the stand. I store mine in the stand so it's always charged. The batteries are replaceable when and if that becomes necessary (I've not had to) and should be available in any store that sells rechargeable AAA batteries. There are three buttons on the headset: clearly labeled On/Off, Volume, and Tone; their functions and use are self-explanatory. Enjoy.

They don't hold a charge for long at all. I could get an hour to an hour and a half of use from them on a full charge. I'm very displeased with them, and went to a wired headset

I returned mine it only lasted 4 hours on a charge, so I don't know anything about the warranty . I buy Plantronics m70 or m45 they are 11 hours and charge in 2 hours. Range is about 30 ft.
