Victor, the headset lasts quite a while. I can't give you a specific amount of time but I never had an issue with the battery nor the distance I can be away from the house. In fact, although my house and lot size aren't very larger, I've walked out to the middle of the street in front of my house, and have walked all around my property without losing signal or distortion. The issue I had with the headset was that the ear piece wasn't very strong and snapped off after a few months of use and they didn't sell the headset by itself. I would still be using the phone but for that issue. I don't believe the headset can be charged while using it and the phone itself didn't require special batteries.

2 hours was the longest call for me.It cannot be charged while in use.The batteries are sealed in the unit.

The headset works well, I went through a 2 hours talk without trouble.As for the handset, seems like you can't dock and use it on speaker mode at the same time. I tried once, but was in a rush, so didn't really explore to see if I did it wrongly.Normal rechargeable AA batteries is used.

Once charged, it lasts at least 24 hours. You have to hang it on the charged, so no, you can not charge it while using it. No additional batteries are required except for what come in it (sealed).

Mine is a couple years old and has great abilities and Quality for your listener. I know many people, When I'm talking on it, don't even know I'm on the headset. As far as airbuds... They provide you with a little bag so you can put the one that feels the best for you. Hopefully they'll have your size. unfortunately I had t my original one go through the wash because it was in my pants pocket, so I got it replaced... but after it dried out it actually worked pretty good, So much so my son uses it for when he plays video games. Also I found @ another store, a small little protective case for it. Because it is so small and I put in there, it takes care of it I love it. It works great and it holds a good charge for six hours and it talks to you and tells you how much time. When you get Low, it gives you about a 10 minute warning while & if you're on a phone call etc. You won't regret buying ever

Around 6 hours active use, significantly longer when connected but idle. It tells you when it turns on how many hours of talk time left, but as it ages it gets less accurate. When new it's pretty consistent, but after a year of daily use mine would say "more than 1 hour of talk time" and die within 40 minutes. It charges with a standard microUSB like most phones use, so you can use a cheap car charger. It charges to full from dead in about 10-15 min I think (never actually timed).

It is recommended not to use rechargeable batteries in this device, it uses 1 AAA. I use the headphones 3-5h a day in the office. Batteries last around 2-3 months, which is a lot.

Could not tell you exactly. I know people who have these headsets and they have lasted YEARS, and my lasted me less than two months. :/BUT the audio quality is amazing.(Sorry for my English)

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.

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.

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.

The advertised talk time is 8 hrs. I use mine as a2dp for streaming music primarily, for streaming the life is 2 hrs. max. So, the best I have ever achieved is 3-4 hrs since I have never used it exclusively on stand-by. Also, this bluetooth takes 3 hrs. mnmum to fully charge on empty.

To my knowledge, based upon reading the literature, the answer is no. This seems to be constructed as a disposable item. I've had my current headset for about the same length of time -- it's held together with tape and very gentle handling, and I always keep it plugged in.

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.

Stand-by battery life lasts more than 72 hours and talk life is 24. I hope it helps you.

I had a worse problem, a defect, and there is really nothing that can be done about it. I haven't found any other headsets like this yet, but I'm still looking. The internal battery is an itty bitty chip, that can't be replaced. My thoughts; it wasn't made to last in the first place. Sorry that I can't help you any further.

This is a rechargeable headset. Can't remember whether there are rechargeable batteries in there (I assume there are), but I use the headset for maybe two hours a day and always replace it on the charger. Really like it.

No--you plug it in to recharge and it takes a few hours, which would probably use up batteries. But you get about 6 hours talk time once it's fully-charged. Although as it has gotten older, I'm finding I now get about 4 hours. Need to replace soon.

The battery is used only when the speaker are flipped out for the amp. The charge depends on the volume at low volume the chats lastes about 8-10 hrs . At med vol you get 6-7 hrs , at full vol they went for 3-5 hrs. The key is to fully charge right out of the box. Without using them first. Also to make sure that they are turned off . By flipping the speakers inside fully until you hear the distinctive click letting you know that the speakers are indeed off. I hope this helps.
