I was thinking of using this at work. How long does it work at low to medium volume?

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)

@ Ben - with the latest Bluetooth, you can control volume on the unit, simply press and hold the >>| or |<< button, and volume will go up or down. It works quite a few hours at medium volume, at least 7.

According to the manual, it does have volume control for a smart phone on the top, with the rubber buttons, but not for laptop. I'm not sure about Mp3 volume.

Battery life varies with volume. I've listened to music continuously at a low volume for 10-12 hours, at medium volume you can expect ~6 hours, and at high volume probably 3-4 hours. Also, consider using an aux cable for extended battery life for bluetooth uses more energy on both devices.

Hi Thomyi, I wouldn't use it if I were you. It is an open back headphone so there will be a lot of sound leak and your colleagues might not be too comfortable with that. Try getting some iem or closed back headphones.

Bought mine some time ago. While I don't use it every day, it still works just as well as the first time and what I love is how quiet it is. I can have a conference call going on and they don't hear it but I hear them fine. I have given it to my coworkers in the same cubbies and we all love it.

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

Hard to say for sure. For our office the issue was rah we could hear conversations from adjoining offices and that was a problem. The unit garbled and muffles the sound quite well. With a noise like road construction, it might just kind of even out the sound so you hear the unit's hum consistently and maybe not so much the up and down aspect of the outside noise. I did also try the Marpac-Dohm type and found this unit to be far superior, largely because it has varied sounds and volume controls. Good luck!

The parent unit adjusts quite nicely volume-wise, from mute all the way up to being able to hear every little sound. We usually keep ours at a medium volume. I'm not sure about 12 hours, but we use ours in our room without charging overnight, so 8 hours should be fine if you start fully charged.

I would say a medium level of sound. I've had quieter and louder than this.

12 hours talk time, as per manufacture. (http://senabluetooth.com/product/intercoms/smh10/) Should be good for a minimum of 6-8 hours for music

The sound level may be too high if you are working in a cube environment. It would be fine in an office with a closed door. I love this product. I hope it works for you too.

I work in an open office space and tend to crank up my music as well. Atleast on my Mac Book Pro I've turned up the volume about 70-85% up even with the itunes player volume at 100%. I haven't had any complaints from my co-workers saying that my music is loud so the V-moda's are pretty decent. Although, I will say like Ramon that if you turn it up immensely loud then there's bound to be some leak but for me not very much. Also, if it's any help I listen to LRAD or other EDM like music which is pretty loud so you can imagine that kind of music at 70-85% volume.

about 4-6 hrs depends on the volume. BTW my USB connector is already messed up and it will not charge the unit. I reach out to customer service twice and never heard back. Don't buy it.

Depends on the volume you want to achieve, and how long you plan to run it. I would say it would work fine for a couple hours at 70-80% power.

I use it everyday at work for listening music, and it works very well. However, "around the house" may be problematic if you have a big house. Bluetooth range is limited and you will have some random cuts of sinal for about 6 meter or more, specially behind walls. If you just want to let some songs playing and go to the next room, it's fine.

I never had a problem with the volume. sometimes its was hard to move the control but if you worked with it a minute or two it would work.

8 to 10 hours at damn near to full blast. I'm sure it could make it 12 if you keep the volume about halfway.

Havent used it a whole lot, but Id say around a minute or so.. It definitely does the job when you need it to. It is quite loud though.
