Question 1

Does this use standard rechargeable batteries? (i.e. AAA NiMH?) Are they easily replaceable?

Accepted Answer

The battery is internal. I've had mine for a few years but the battery has given me no problems. When plugged into a USB port with the provided cable it goes into charging mode, and it shuts itself off when fully charged to prevent overcharging wear on the battery.

Question 2

How good is the noise cancelling on the mic? I work in an open office setting and at times the background noise can get elevated. I do not want that to come across in the phone call with a client.

Accepted Answer

I work in a home office so I cannot tell how it is in an open office environment but it has a solid distance as I can walk around my home on separate floors and still get a signal. As a matter of fact I am listening on it now but for noise cancelling I cannot make claim to it.

Question 3

Is this compatible with USB 3.0 on a 27" iMac late 2013?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is compatible with USB 3.0.  All wireless communications take place between the headset and the dongle plugged into a USB port.

Question 4

Are you able to charge these while using them?

Accepted Answer

NO because when you charge, the RED LIGHT goes on and stays on until it is charged. When you want to USE the headset the light is BLUE. You can't have both at same time. Plus even if you could, the cord is too short. After a period of time, the ratchet system for the adjustment of the headset gets really loose and if you put it on while extended the plastic tip breaks rendering the headset useless. Just so you will know.

Question 5

Are these "on ear" or "Over Ear"?

Accepted Answer

It fits over my average sized ears.  I find it quite comfortable and often wear for 3 or 4 hours listening to music.

Question 6

What is the USB charging cable for plantronics wirless headset? I lost mine and need to buy another one.

Accepted Answer

It's a standard usb to mini usb cable.

Question 7

Can I plug this into my TV with USB ports, digital audio out single wire, headphone jack 1/8"? Looking for cordless headphones to use on my TV.

Accepted Answer

The tv has to be compatible for using wireless technology. Just because you have usb ports does not mean you can load software to use the head sets. i would look through your user manual to see if you can load software to use these headsets.

Question 8

I'm looking for an all-around compatible headset for PC and consoles (PS3/4, 360, XB1). Has anyone attempted to use this headset with their consoles too?

Accepted Answer

This all depends on if each component has a USB port that you can plug the adapter into.
I have two PC's and can unplug the adapter from one and plug into the other and use the head phones with no problem for each PC.
Getting multiple USB adapters (one for each component) will not work though, since the headphones need to be synchronized to only one adapter at a time.
