Thanks, got two for that price for up/down stairs. Not much to lose if they aren't good. I'm so tired of running over cords and slicing them with office chairs.

Thanks, got 3 of the wireless, one for the daughter as an Xmas present, and one each for Maggie and I. I have repaired the one Maggie currently has so many times it's ridiculous...had to splint/glue/tape the headstrap several times, using cut up expired credit cards as splint material. Maybe now she will quit bitching about having to be careful putting them on.

Here's a thread on the Wireless hjeadphones. A few folks there are discussing how they have adjusted settings in Windows and TS, etc. Might be of help.

I love the IDEA of wireless stuff but a lot of things just don't work well. Even if the quality is good, which these days they usually are, the devices never seem to be charged enough. You forget to charge them or after awhile they never hold a charge for long enough even when you do. Some promote to leave them on the charger when not in use but how many times do we forget to do that and leaving the batteries topped off all the time kills the life of it after time leading back to what I said. You only get so many charges out of any battery.

What I hate the most is when they have sealed batteries so you can't even change the battery out, whether to replace it for a fresh one or when it goes bad. Mainly the latter is the killer since the device is now worthless.

Lots of devices are now sealed and that sucks.

The earlier version of these headsets that Maggie has still holds hours worth of charge. The headset is falling apart, but the batteries are still going strong, and she often leaves them plugged up.

She does bitch when she wants to use them and has forgotten to charge them though.

That is mainly what I am talking about. I am glad the batteries are lasting for her. You must have got an expensive set or got lucky. See the problem is these cheap Chinese headphones usually use really cheap ass batteries hence my point.

Example, I got a rear light for my bike that would not stay on. I had to put my own 18650, a main type of battery that a lot of rechargeable stuff uses, in it. Worked perfect after that. It was a fairly inexpensive light but they included a shit battery to save money.

Of course I put a bad review on Amazon recently and they contacted me... I may get a refund and get the light free.
I am telling you guys there is a game to play on Amazon and you can get free, replaced or upgraded stuff there. i :) i
I have been honest so far but they hate bad reviews. i :) i

Same headphones, Plantronics, just an earlier model. Even looks the same. Hopefully the batteries will be just as good or better. The ad says 10 hours, I'm never at my computer that long anymore, so should be good enough for me.
