Do you need to charge this headset at all?

No, you don't have to charge it. Just plug it into your computer and use it.

Yes, you must connect it to a USB port to charge. Cable comes with the headset.

Have you tried using your headset, after you unplugged it? Because it doesn't take days to charge it? If its not working then your head phonesare dead. Because my headset did the same thing.

Supplied charger works at 1 amp, your USB at .5, so expect at least twice as long to charge. With your headset outlasting the charge on your laptop anyway, I'd recommend charging directly to AC while the laptop is charging.

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.

There is a small port on the sound can. A charging cord is provided. The headband isn't necessary for charging.

No, its only the headset. I already had a USB charge cable from a different Plantronics headset that worked. You can buy the USB charge cable - http://www.amazon.com/New-Plantronics-USB-Charger-510/dp/B002IZPNQG

As long as the case has a charge, it appears to keep the headset charged to capacity as I've seen. Personally I prefer this as the last thing I want is to pull out the headset only to find that I forgot to tell the case the recharge the headset and find that the headset dead. Please note that when either the case, or if the headset is in the case, they both have a charge level indicator on the case to indicate their individual charge levels. If either is low, the LED light blinks red so you know which needs to be recharged. Leaving the headset in the case and recharging the case will recharge both. Hope that helps.

No, charging is done via the USB connector. The audio output jack takes a headphone audio plug and is only mono out.

no - charge from a USB plug only. I have a wall charger for my bluetooth headset that I use as a wall charger if I need it.

Hello dear customer, i am sorry the package doesn't have a charger included. You can use a charger for your phone to charge the headset, 5V, under 1A would be okay.

Hi Tony. My husband says he charges with the headsets off, just make sure the base is plugged in the electrical outlet. One headset lights up red to show it is charging, the other green. When lights go out they are charged.

No. You can't use it while charging the battery... you need to put the headset in the dock to charge.

there's a small port on 1 end of the unit. There is also a charge indicator light inside the unit which can be seen through the smoke colored lit. On the and next to the charge in port, there is a button to enable charge into the headset. This way you can charge the headset or just use the case for storage. It's a fantastic device! I hope this helps.

It won't charge if it is fully charged. The headset has a lithium battery, so no problems with overcharging and its attendant memory effect. However, do not overcharge the carry case, since it does have a NiCad battery tech that suffers from memory effect.

I would say on average it takes a few hours for a full charge. There is a red light to indicate charging and this light goes out when the headset is fully charged.

Yes & yes, you can charge your device and use the headset, both with the CASE on. Once you put the CASE on you never have to take it off! BEST CASE ever... in my book!!!
