Can you tell me about the battery life. Is it rechargeable or do you need to change batteries. How long between batteries or charges?

It is recommended not to use rechargeable batteries in this device, it uses 1 AAA. I use the headphones 3-5h a day in the office. Batteries last around 2-3 months, which is a lot.

I use the previous model (ATH-ANC23) and I only ever have rechargeable batteries in it - they last for ages as well!

I am not sure exactly. But I will tell you the batteries drain really fast. I would recommend the rechargeable one.

The only question I can answer is regarding the batteries. The battery is rechargeable. You do have to remove it to charge. A small lever holds it into place. The lever is angled in a way that it looks like it could easily break. No issues thus far though.

30 or so minutes to charge. . With continuous use, it stays charged 4 or 5 hours. Actually I've never had them go dead on me if that means anything

maybe takes an hour to charge. charge lasts quite a while. probably couple days in standby mode and probably couple hours at least of talk (active) time. After the firmware upgrade I made to the unit, I am really happy with it. It is a great business tool. I often use this instead of our VOIP phone system.

Takes about 4 hrs. to charge; charge last about 20 minutes; suggest you have @ least 2 batteries.

Yes it is rechargeable. I believe it lasts about 8 hours. I have not tried playing while charging, but I don't see why not.

I'm not sure on the battery life, if that's what you're asking, or how the build quality is. Build quality is ok, nothing too nice. Battery's are built in and rechargeable.

For me the batteries lasted quite awhile. I used it for short term trainings and a trip to Africa. I only used it at night when I was sleeping. If used more than that it might not last long. I didn't try rechargeable.

4 double A rechargeable. They came with my used one. The charging cord is a usb like a cell phone. Im sure you can buy a different one. As long as you want to listen to it plugged up you can but it will NOT change while you listen to it. Have to do one or the other

comes with battery, I know you can change them, but it's not easy or meant to be changed. I've not changed mine yet. Do not leave it plugged in all the time, charge it, then use it and when it starts to slow down a lot, charge it back up for 6 hours. I use mine all the time, and travel with it, so I put some painter's tape over the on/off switch so it doesn't run itself out, I put it in a ziplock back wrapped in a paper towel and I take it with me. Well worth the money, I hope you like it too.

The batteries last surprisingly long, many hours of use. Yes you can use rechargeable batteries but you'd have to remove them to charge them.

I charged it for 12 hrs and it was fully charged. after that initial charge it depends on how long I use it. I do not charge it after every use because I have always read that is not good for rechargeables. and I do not leave it plugged in either.

Yes, it is rechargeable and the charge seems to last up to 5 hours of constant use or days of little use. I was really surprised at how long the charge lasted

Great Questions. I have had mine for almost a year. I use it several times a week and it is great. It charges in little sunlight. I experienced discharge of battery and replaced the battery after a year ( keeping in mind I used it on a daily basis but I let it sit for about 4 months). My suggestion is to remove the battery for long term storage or when you need to use it or only putting battery in once every month to recharge if needed. I have found it very useful when camping, in the office, and in power outages for getting emergency alerts when the power goes out. From my understanding you should be able to find a replacement battery (only one needed) on amazon for around $10 (Ambient Weather WR-BATT 3.7V / 800 mAh Rechargeable Battery (LIR123A)) . One of the reasons I chose this unit is because the rechargeable battery could be changed. Allot of these rechargeable type units the battery can not be changed. But overall the reception is good, all the charging options are included with the unit, the unit recharges small electronics, and it is compact and lightweight. The volume is not overly loud, some may want a louder unit but i think it is loud enough. I would recommend this unit if you are looking at alternatives like this one for a reasonable price.

I don't really have to charge mine too often... I'd say between 150-200 tests between charges (I'm not exactly keeping count haha!). I probably charge it less than once a month. Similarly, I haven't really kept track of how long it takes to charge, as I usually just plug it in and leave it overnight, but I can't imagine it takes longer than a couple hours to fully charge? Maybe someone can provide some more exact answers, but hopefully this helps a bit. By the way, this thing is awesome. Highly recommended.
