I plan to use this to listen to music in the car. If I am listening to music 2 hours per day, how often do i change the batteries?

this product sucks. I'd plan on changing the batteries once an hour until the product just decides to stop working. I think you should spend your time/money on hiring someone to sing for you where ever your are than buying batteries for this sub par piece of s***. Good luck!

I use mine for both calls and streaming Pandora while I work. On a full charge using it heavily for five hours for music and then phone calls the rest of the day (7-8 hours); I rarely run out of juice. I don't know about replacing the battery. hope this helps. also to extend the battery life it helps to disconnect the headset from your phone or tablet when not using it.

I've used my Sansa for an 8 hour work day turning it off to respond to an occasional phone call, or interruption then turning it back on to resume the music. I've never run the battery down completely and have never had less than 1/3 the battery indicator after listening almost continuously for 8 hours. If I were to guess, I would say the Battery will probably last 12 to 16 hours of continuous use.

I generally charge my battery for a couple of hours. I usually stream music from my cell phone and keep it plugged in.

Hi... I have used it for 3-4 hours for a few weeks until I had to change the batteries. I would think if you used it all day long, maybe 3-4 days. I use the batteries often, but mainly plugged in. Love it, sound is great, and would buy again!!!

I am generally using for listening to music while working, and I am pretty satisfied with battery life. Continuous use various between 3-5 hours, but the you can always plug it in and continue using it.

So far I have listened to music solid for about a two hour drive one way and then again for 2 hours back. The battery life didn't seem to decrease at all. Maybe went down 20-30%.I have so far gone a few days straight without charging and taking small trips each day listening to music the whole time. It's definitely good enough to use for a day and not charge and still have enough juice for another ride or two. My buddy wore his battery out after maybe 4-5 days of not charging. Definitely good enough given you're usually home in time to recharge. This model supports charging while using it on your bike. I got a battery hookup USB charger but honestly haven't even had to use that yet. So far I have listened to music solid for about a two hour drive one way and then again for 2 hours back.

Hi, Janice. So far I've used it on batteries only once, for about an hour on July 4th, to play patriotic music during a local parade. No problems for that length of time. With an old Panasonic boombox, I learned to remove the batteries if they were going to be unused for a while, to avoid the possibility of leaking battery acid that killed the boombox.

It uses only batteries - but they should last long enough (2 months+) even with daily use. The music stops on its own after sometime.

2 cell battery is not going to give you "hundreds of hours" of music. Until I see reviews from reputable, established tech sites, I call "BS" on the product summary.

Great question, thanks for asking. The manufacturer suggests a battery life of 5 to 7 hours of continuous play. Since the volume setting affects battery life, the higher the volume the shorter the battery life. For example, I get over 7 hours of play

With a new charge, and constant use. You will get a solid 4 hours of play. Though Ive tried it as a hands free in the car, i do not know if that would affect its battery life. Ive used it for listening to music.

4 to 8 hours if you're continuously playing only music. If you are playing videos, then the time goes down to around 2-3 hours. Also, so far, all of my players hold charges pretty well too. I also bought several extra USB cords so that I can leave one in the car, my pc at work and with both of my laptops at home. That way, I can easily recharge the battery if it gets low without having to find a cord.

It really depends on how loud you run it. If you run it at a decent level around the house for background, probably about 8 hours. I have found if I use it outdoors for music at an event...about 5. This is akin to gas mileage. If you floor your car all the time, you'll have lower gas mileage than if you drive differently. My rule of thumb is to figure about 3-5 hours on location and you'll be fine. I've never seen it exhaused in 3 but I have in 5, outdoors in the heat, playing fairly loud. Again, at home in the den (if I'm not running another system) you can figure most of the day...probably around 8 hours. This is the best I can tell you.

I use it on the bus to work, my commute is short about 45 min.; the battery last for about 4 days. After using the on, off, volume up/down etc. for a period of time, the printed data dissolve.

It depends on what you are using it for. I use it to connect my helmet speakers to my Nano. I do not get 8 hours. I wish I did. but I don't. I do probably get 4 or 5 hours though. We ride from 9:30 til like 6:30 most Sunday afternoons and it does not make the full day. It does have good sound though and I do like the fact that if I push the button it will pause for me. My other Bluetooth does not have any of those features. It lasts longer but it is not as convenient. I would recommend this to a friend. They're cheap enough buy 2 if you need longevity.
