It seems that the battery lasts a long time on a charge. Well worth their cost. This has been my favorite game since I was a kid! I wasnt expecting it to be like the bigger JBL speakers but it does the job! So for me its worth the price. It?s been much mor reliable in sound quality and holding charge compared to the much pricey headset from work. I was able to get 14 pairs of shoes in the bags by doubling up on flatter shoes. I?m 5?2?, 123 lbs. In my office I use the Plantronics Voyager Focus, which is an upscale cordless Bluetooth headset with excellent comfort and active noise cancellation, but it is expensive. In short, I like my stereo sound to have some nuance in the bass-mid-high ranges, and these sound flat as all hell when not used in a video game setting.
