Is there a battery indicator on the headset? or will it verbally let you know how much battery is left.

The headset indicates battery level by LED light and sounds. Battery last about 5 hours of continuing use.

There is no battery indicator nor does it tell you the battery level.......

There is not indicator I am aware of. It has never gotten low enough to need to tell me it is low. :)It lasts about 8 hours. I know this because I use my iPhone with it and it sends a real time battery feed to display on my iPhone how much battery life is remaining in the top bar (iPads and iPods will do the same). I am not sure about android devices.In my review I said this is great for working out. I hold to that, but I would not wear if for long term use. I charge it every three days and use it for my 1.5-2.5 hour workouts. Never had a single issue with it. I have used it for 75-100 uses now. There is not indicator I am aware of.

Batteries required for headsets (either AA or AAA-I don't remember) and 12-volt battery for transmitter can be found on amazon or any hardware store ($20) and would have to be replaced eventually. I would sooner recommend the ones I finally purchased on amazon- Unisar TV Listener J3 - the transmitter plugs into AC outlet; headset comes with rechargeable batteries

I would say on average it takes a few hours for a full charge. There is a red light to indicate charging and this light goes out when the headset is fully charged.

Technically No.......unless your charger cord is very long. I usually have my spare traditional headsets, if I'm listening for longer than a couple of hours because you need to be prepared once you get the second "battery is low" message. But, they charge back up pretty quick. Hope this helps.

Hi Hilda,My hubby says his stays green when his headset is in its stand... when he takes it out of the stand the light on the stand turns red.

As long as the case has a charge, it appears to keep the headset charged to capacity as I've seen. Personally I prefer this as the last thing I want is to pull out the headset only to find that I forgot to tell the case the recharge the headset and find that the headset dead. Please note that when either the case, or if the headset is in the case, they both have a charge level indicator on the case to indicate their individual charge levels. If either is low, the LED light blinks red so you know which needs to be recharged. Leaving the headset in the case and recharging the case will recharge both. Hope that helps.

Never mind. I finally found out that this headset has better range than the previous one. It comes with 2 rechargeable AA batteries. I have a 1 hour charger so cool beans.

No...none of the bluetooth stereo headsets I've ever bought (with the exception of the Sony/Ericsson adaptors) have had any metering of battery power beyond warning that the charge is low. In most cases you just end up using their calculated average time before charge runs out. I've found that as you use these devices, you can pretty accurately figure how much time you have left before the battery goes dead...they tend not to deviate much from the manufacter's average.

it does not - it has it's own charger type - however, the headset will accommodate 7 straight hours of talk time, i have never ran out of battery life and i am on my phone all day every day for my job.

Hi Sara,Yes, the P311 has a 400mAh battery built into it. And when the USB cable is plugged into an active USB port the headset light should be a steady Red for charging and change to steady blue when complete.A non response would IMHO indicate some possibilities:1. The charging cable is defective. ----Try a different cable2. The USB outlet is defective. --------Try a different USB outlet or charger.3. The P311 is defective. --------------Try to submit a form to Arctic at: http://www.arctic.ac/us_en/products/mobile-accessories/headphones/p311.html Support tab.IF that helped click the helpful button.I need all the help I can get.

I had a worse problem, a defect, and there is really nothing that can be done about it. I haven't found any other headsets like this yet, but I'm still looking. The internal battery is an itty bitty chip, that can't be replaced. My thoughts; it wasn't made to last in the first place. Sorry that I can't help you any further.

I am not completely sure I understand the question. you would have to dial the number or use voice dialing on your phone to call out. When you are charging there is a light to tell you that it is fully charged. Every time you turn it on and put it to your ear it tells you how much battery you have left. I hope this answers your question.

This was purchased for my Mom. The battery is specific for the headset and rechargeable. Always leave it plugged in. Perhaps you have the headset sitting in the charger backwards? When the headset is placed in the charge, red light comes on. Hopefully this helps.

I don't know if the battery will last all day. I use them regularly for 1-3 hours for teleconferences and some gaming. I suspect that I will reach the charging cycle lifetime limit before the battery life begins to be an issue. Again, I find this headset to meet my needs as well as being a good value.

Yes, the batteries charge while in the headset. The left ear piece MUST be set into the charger/stand on the left side. When charging, the red LED light on the front of the charger/stand. When charging is complete, the LED will go out.

I bet we'll have no choice but to replace the whole headset. I've been using my 3 headsets about 9 months now. No issues with battery life & charging
