I got the player already. I've been charging it for the past 8 hours and still, it's low battery. I think the player that I got is defective.

I have not had any problem with charging this model.The only issue that I had is with the hold switch. For a time, the unit would stay in hold or non-hold no matter what I did with the slider switch. For reasons that I do not understand, the problem went away one day and has not come back for more than six months.

I have no problem charging this device. I do have a problem getting the "hold switch" to hold.

hello Julie, when its fully charged it last me about 2 hours. But I have to admit I'm not a fan of this player.

I have it plugged in now. It will play with it plugged in. It stays charged for a good 3 hours and depending on the volume, it could go longer.

I ll got mp3 glasses myself, had no problem loading music, but after awhile it stop charging, do not have any clue what's wrong with it. My best bet the battery is not good. I am afraid to purchase another glasses, they are nice item when walking or working out.

I think you may have gotten a defect battery because I only charged mine for an hour or 2 when I first got it. (I disconnected it because the charged light turned green) and I was able to use it all day yesterday and today. I still haven't gotten the low batter indicator.

It has been awhile, but initial charge of 40 hours is too much. You have a defective product. Possibly a bad battery.

I personally returned mine after it froze ten minutes into playing around with the functions, and bought another player with the refund.If you haven't already, you should hold the reset button for ~10 seconds (as opposed to just pressing it) and see if that does anything, like commutergirl suggested.Also, maybe double-check to see that it was plugged in properly for charging? Sometimes USB ports can be weird.In any case, good luck! I hope it's just a temporary thing and that it works soon for you!

The phone says its charging,but I guess the phone uses so much battery while playing,the u.s.b. cant charge it fast enough.I always just make sure my phone is fully charged beforehand.Like right now after streaming a movie its at 82% from 100%.

I was extremely disappointed with my purchase. I did not use the player for a while. Then the battery would not charge anymore. Good luck trying to replace it. I ended up ordering a new one from Sony, which I thought was very expensive. It did not work either, which makes me think something else was wrong. Whatever the case, an expensive player like this should have an easily replaceable battery. This does not. I was so excited that this player could play uncompressed .wav files and had such a wonderful easy menu system, but in the end it turned out to be an expensive piece of junk in my case. So, sorry I could not be of more help to you. Good luck in finding the purchase that will be right for you. I was extremely disappointed with my purchase. I did not use the player for a while.

There seems to be something wrong with how it works wrt charging and playing. I can get it to work whilst plugged in but not before it switches off- unplugging or plugging in power cord always disrupts it and means I have to restart it, but then it will work Ok still plugged in to the power.

I've had success pulling the power plug, counting to ten, and re-plugging. That it loses functionality seemingly at random and within a few weeks of purchase doesn't say much for the player. Has anyone else noticed how loud it is? That seems impossible to fix, a permanent annoyance.

Ooh, i haven't had to charge mine yet, and have had it for over two months now. You might want to return it or exchange it.

Perhaps the battery has been moved, maybe during delivery it was banged a few times. It really is a simple to use device. If it's new I would suggest to return it and buy a new one.

I guess u may have a defective product mine worked. I've had the swing going, mobile going and music playing. Were u plugged in or using battery?

I have had nothing but trouble with battery life on this "monster". I received it as a Christmas present, charged the battery for at least 3 hours initially, then used it for an hour or so. When I tried to use it again the next day, the battery was so low the device would not boot up. Recharged it to 100% capacity, closed it down to sleep mode, tried to use it again after about 24 hours. The battery was again completely discharged. This has happened 3 times. Who wants a device that you have to charge for 3 hours EVERY 24 hours in order to use it 6 - 8 hours?? I don't recommend anyone buying this item!

My speaker doesn't indicate when the battery is running low. It also stays on forever when I charge it. But I don't experience what you are experiencing. You might want to return it for another one.
