Can these headphones be used as a standard set without needing batteries?

The unit comes with rechargeable batteries. The batteries do need to be installed and charged for the unit to work. FYI - the sound is excellent.

Nope. They are wireless without a jack port. The headsets need batteries to work. The transmitter, however, can be used without batteries when plugged into the power supply.

Technically, they can, but as they are not powered through USB, you'll need to plug them into your television or sound system.

Amy,They don't take batteries. They require a standard household power connection, normally 115v in the US.

These will do okay without an amp on mp3/phone, you might have to consider buying portable amp to these headphones to their actual potential.

Correct! No batteries are needed they plug right into your music device... If you don't like cords you may want to try the Beats that are wireless

Yes, they work without batteries, you just won't have any noise cancelling.

Diane, no they are not. I specifically bought them for that reason because I have heard from owners of wireless headphones that the battery does not last that long and in order to keep using them after the battery dies, you have to buy another battery (which aren't cheap). Hope this helped.

you can use them as headphones to listen, but you won't be able to use anything voice related.

No. You would need a received or amp to power them. You can get a cheap one for about 40$.

Yes, you can still listen to music without batteries. No, the headphone doesn't "quit" when the battery dies.

they are a 2.5mm jack, which means they are NOT a standard headphone size, so no. You need a 3.5mm headphone set.

Yes. The only thing I've found tricky with these is getting the battery compartment open. Once I figured it out, it wasn't too bad. Don't forget to turn them off when you aren't using them -- the battery will run out! (I use them at work and accidentally left them on over the weekend. Luckily, I had a spare battery in my desk!)

no, batteries only. Sound only average...or below. In addition, I live in an urban area where the reception should be elevated, would not recommend it. Bear in mind that most of these electronic creatures are now made in China, sadly always a downgrade!!!!!

I have never tried the mobile speakers with rechargeable batteries. I wouldn't see why not. Sounds like a great idea.

yes, but they require higher volume settings and will use your battery faster than other headphones because they are high impedance and low efficiency

You wouldn't connect them to this set, but you could run another set straight from the battery

well. it's not so simple. while you can connect them to a phone, most likely the phone will have not enough power to drive them. i'd say in 90% of portable devices, the result will be poor. so it's not a good idea to do it. better buy portable headphones. Adam, in-ear.com
