How long does a set last?

I believe they would last until the elasticity in the band becomes too weak to apply enough pressure. I have not had any wear out yet.

Sorry, I can't answer your questions because I didn't use mine. Never felt any signs of nausea while on our cruise, so I never wore them.

Here's what my set looks after over a year of use: http://www.amazon.com/review/R236EXQTVCUJA4

It depends on how long you want them to. I lost my first pair so I can't tell you yet. They recommend not washing them much for longetivity.

Seems quite lasting. Mine still works well after 6mth. But I'm not a frequent user though

I have had our set for 2 or 3 years. I wash them (by hand) every so often, let them dry, and continue using them. They are made from a "terry cloth-like" material, so they are pretty durable. I go NOWHERE without mine! :)

We have been very pleased with the set. We have used with no problems for about 8 months. Would buy again.

As long as they are not open they last awhile. Even if opened, if closed tight will last.

It depends on how heavy the usage is on your system. They usually last about 3 to 4 months with our system.

I've had mine about a year, use them every day for at least 3 or 4 hours. Still perfect.

I am sorry that I do not have the answer to your question. However, I can tell you that the battery life is abysmal. Pick out a set that will have some shelf life. I hope this helped.

My Husband has purchased 2 sets. (Stepped on the 1st, cracking it, glued it, still worked, but had to be very careful.) This is my 1st set. We both use them 5 days a week. With almost continuous listening, I would say it'll last a good 5-7 hours. Most days I do a lot of pausing, so it's rare that I have to recharge during a work day. My husband listens to audio books and recharges during lunch and it lasts him the entire day. We both did, however, have a problem with each set (different problems), but Plantronics' customer service is incredible!! We got replacements in a matter of days. We both agree that we would purchase again. (Hope this helps.) My Husband has purchased 2 sets. (Stepped on the 1st, cracking it, glued it, still worked, but had to be very careful.)

I would say a few weeks, depending where you put them. If you have them in a rather air-tight container, they last a very long time...if there is air exchange, they obviously won't last as long. I like them a lot but I did have one go bad on me...when I was re-charging...for some odd reason, the balls turned black...rendering that one useless...the others that were in the same condition and were heated for the same time did just fine...

I used them in Cvaults. Typically they last a few months. It also depends on how dry or wet the material is. Another factor is how often the container is opened.

Yes, I would highly recommend this set. I wrote a review after 6 months of owning this set a few months ago. Even today the set still works and looks as new.

each day's small set takes between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the age and ability of the person building. The only instructions for each little set is on the inside of the door. Still lots of fun even if they are micro sets.

I would say 6 years old... I bought it for my 4 year old and he gets easily frustrated with this set! It falls apart/ breaks easily!

I am sorry, but I don't know the answer. I gave the set away and have not heard of any problem with it.Maxine

I have used mine numerous times an am still on the first set. Our first set is still in there and we're going on 4 months. On that note though we did put in the really good batteries that have longer life expectancy.

Not sure about shelf life but I've had the same set on my mountain bike for about 8 years without any problems.

HI I think it lasts about 4 - 5 hours. I have two batteries. The sound is a bit off, not as deep as I would like, but all in all, I enjoy the set very much. Feel free to ask anything. John

Good question! I don't think the answer is available before any individual purchases the set over the 'net. However, it's a pretty safe bet that you'll use up more than one of the cartridges well before the expiration date arrives, regardless.
