The manufacturer website states that this headphone has a battery life of 15 hours and uses Bluetooth 4.0, different from Amazon. Which is correct?

15 hours battery life seems to be accurate. I'm not sure what version Bluetooth it uses.

It does use bluetooth 4.0. Not sure how long the battery life is, but I charged it fully when I first got it and haven't needed to charge it since in spite of using it nearly every day.

I use it on Bluetooth, which uses more battery. I am a writer (maybe only in my own mind), but I write about 1500 words every day. The battery lasts through 3-4 hours of continuous use, and then I just plug it into the charger on my desk, and continue on, tethered to the wire for a couple of hours. It is amazingly light, and amazingly accurate. I have used many headsets. This is the best, hands down!

I've had to replace my Logitech once due to bad battery performance *lasted 5 months the first time* under guarantee. The second pair lasted exactly the same lenth of time, and the store gave me my money back. The headset is the best I have owned, but the battery life is awful. I wouldn't chance buying another set, so I bought a set of Asus ones from Amazon, and they are excellent. AND a lot cheaper!!!!

Bluetooth 4.0 is more energy efficient and has a faster throughput (more data at once). But these headphones already last long enough as it is (~10 hours) and the audio quality is great for the price. As far as these headphones go, Bluetooth 4.0 is largely unnecessary. Plus, the reason it's so cheap is probably because it only has 3.0, which is a worthy compromise, in my opinion.

I have an iPod classic 160GB and an old iPod 60GB. I have 3 different bluetooth transmitters and the Kokkia I10 is my favorite. One reason it is my favorite is that there is no battery in this device to charge. When my iPod battery is done I change iPods. I cannot see a big difference in iPod battery life. I pair this with a Bose Mini Soundlink and my Hyundai Santa Fe SUV system. I do not have a Beats wireless headphones so I cannot answer your question. I just wanted to give you my experience with this device.

I get 5 hours of continuous use on medium volume. After that the Bluetooth connection gets faulty and sound gets choppy. That how I know its time to charge

Have gotten a good 6 hours out of a charge. This is the best wireless headphone I've purchased; I have a pair of Beats 2, but think Plantronics is better.

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.

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.

No, not at all. I ware mine for hours no problem. Go Bluetooth headphones if you can.

I can confirm that the manufacturers warranty is at least 12 months. I'm sending mine back around 9 months later due to an issue with Bluetooth connectivity.

Not sure. For the price, I wasn't impressed. I returned them for a pair of SONY® MDR-1RBT, which I've had now for almost a year. The SONY®'s are among the best headphones I've ever owned and are built to last. And the battery life is amazing!

Real Beats headphones. This model requires two AAA batteries. Apparently the newer ones do not need batteries. With heavy use, you may replace them every 40-50 days.

Even though it doesn't have BT 4.0, the benefits of 4.0 vs 3.0 do not impact sound quality from what I have read while researching bluetooth headphones. This is because streaming music is a high bandwidth activity and BT 4.0 improvements are in low energy low bandwidth applications. The Jaybird BlueBuds have excellent sound quality but run BT 2.1 + EDR. I'm wondering if it effects standby time though, but I don't really care about that with bluetooth headphones. The sound quality comes more from the codec used (aptX or jaybird's Shift) and the quality of the headphone itself. This headphone has aptX and a balanced armature driver, which is a very good combination. I'd definitely test them both out and decide for myself which are better.
