Does it run on battery or charge from the base? If it runs on the base what's the charge time and battery life?

Hi Darin! The base does NOT charge the batteries. Luckily, 4 rechargeable batteries and a charger are real cheap these days {less than $15 at a local store}. You can use 2 batteries while the other 2 charge. My charge lasts for about a week depending on how much I play. On a side note, these work with XBox1 and PS4 too.

Is this headset/microphone compatible with VOIP on my laptop?

Hi, As long as your laptop is blue tooth compatible you can use this headset. A couple of things I noticed after purchase; Headphones have no way of charging batteries, make sure you buy two sets of rechargable bats and charger. If you have older. Version of blue tooth on laptop or USB, the quality of sound is abysmal. This is a very limited issue so no worries. I will say that love the headset and use it for business, well worth it until you are caught without batteries. =)

Programmable Wireless Dolby® 7.1
Surround Sound + Wireless Chat

If you don’t have an XP500 then don’t even try to call yourself an XBox fan, because you’re missing out on the end-all be-all XBox gaming experience. The XP500 is optimized for the XBox 360 and its full of all-star exclusives, so settling for anything less is like ordering mashed potatoes without the gravy - if gravy had surround sound.

Audio Presets - Customize Your Game Sound!

The Ear Force XP500 is also a programmable headset which means you can take your game sound to a whole new level with Audio Presets. With the press of a button, you can hear cues like the sound of unseen footsteps in the distance or a weapon being reloaded so you can gain the ultimate competitive advantage. Even increase the screech of tires racing around a track for a deeper immersion experience. Professional video game sound engineers, the sound experts here at Turtle Beach, and gamers like you, have created a number of Audio Presets for all the latest games. Now you can completely immerse yourself in and dominate your games!

Why You Need XP500s:

Wireless XBox Live™ Chat – Connect with your team, even if you aren’t connected to the console.
Sonic Lens™ - Focus your sound experience so you can hear anything (and defeat anyone!)
Programmable audio presets – Don’t sweat it if someone messes with your settings; you can get them back at the touch of a button.
Stream music or phone calls – Don’t like your game’s soundtrack? Add your own!
