USB Charger? Does anyone know if this headset can charge using the same USB Mini-B charger that I have for my blackberry Pearl?

I'm sure you probably already got an answer to this, but for the sake of future readers, it does not. It is NOT the same as the 520a, which I saw at Best Buy and assumed was the same as this one. The 520a does have a mini-USB port for charging while this one can only use the Plantronics AC adapter.

Yes the charge port is a mini. I use the same plug for my galaxy ll for the headset.

It should be compatible. There was no device that I have come across that I couldn't charge with this (besides Apple products obviously lol). I've charged the HTC one, Samsung Galaxy s4, s3, ace2, note2, tab3, Nexus 4, 5, BlackBerry Playbook, 9900 with this charger. Usually the output on a lot of chargers isn't high enough for the BlackBerry devices but this one is so I wouldn't hesitate buying this and it hasn't failed me yet!

Hey , great, I want to buy same. If you bought it, Did it worked on your phone base? And also, did it worked in the individual independent headset chargers?

The phone I bought came with the a headset (the ear plug kind). What I would want is to use regular headset with the standard jack 2.5mm. I could not find any such headphone with the mini usb attachment. However I did find an converter (search EMU to 2.5mm converter on ebay) that I could probably use. I checked Motorola website and they are sold out of these adapters. I wish the mp3 player would work with the BT headset. That would be awesome.

I've tried charging mine with normal microUSB because I thought I'd gotten a bad AC adapter and the normal microUSB's won't register as charging and didn't seem to raise the power at all. Luckily for me, it turned out the AC adapter just has an odd proprietary plug that needed to be pushed slightly harder to click into place the first time, so I'm able to charge, but yeah, it was a bit of a disappointment to realize that it can't charge off of the same USB stuff all my other electronics use.

Kyocera usb charger. Sometimes they are interchangeable most times they are not. Its the ol bigger usb not same as you would use for a smartphone.

Micro usb. I use a spiral phone charger and it works fine unlike the older version where you had to buy a replay charger.

Ye, You can use these while charging. The mini usb plug is o the bottom of the headset. However,the charge cable would need to be longer than the one that is included( about 10 inches) with the unit. A longer charge cable is heavy compared to the weight of the headset and and you notice the additional downward drag of the cable. I bought two headsets and swap them out when the battery gets low on the first one while listening to audiobooks in the car.

If you have the 2.0mm charger plug,you can charge it.it is different from the APPLE or Samsung Phone charger,if you have the Nokia Old phone Charger,maybe you can use it to charge the bluetooth headset.

My experience is that the usb port is so fragile that using the headset in this fashion will eventually result in the fragile port breaking. At first, the thing will still charge with some manipulation of the usb cord. Eventually, it will not work at all. I'm actually interested if the workmanship of this thing has changed in a year.

No, it is not a USB charger, it is a magnetic 3 prong charger and only works with BlackBerry tablet as far as I know

Yes and no - I say this because it is hit and miss with my Cellphone and Bluetooth ear piece. Sometimes it works well charging and other ties it does not charge at all. I am running Windows 7 Professional on my desk top. As a USB hub it works great but as a charger, as I said, hit and miss.With a Sandisk Fuze MP3 player I have this UBS hub will charge just fine - perfectly every time.My speculation is it has something to do with USB1, USB2, and USB3 speeds - my MP3 is USB2 and I believe my ear piece and phone are USB3.

Mini usb. I think it is blackberry charger is most similar. Not the modern micro usb. Hope that helps.

it does work to charge my blue tooth headset, so it should work with your device. the trick with charging: make sure you plug this directly into a USB power converter (from a wall outlet) or directly into a USB port ON your computer. be careful with plugging it into a USB HUB, splitter, or dongle (daisy chaining your USB connection). HUBS. splitters, and dongles are notorious for NOT passing through power to the device (or enough power for charging purposes), so if you find it does not work, try plugging the cable directly into the charger or the port ON the computer and that should change your result!

Hi Meredith...your question has come up before about a replacement charger. I have two of these headsets and they both continue to work great. Unfortunately, the charger is somewhat unique. However, since this headset is so inexpensive and a replacement charger that you could find at Radio Shack would cost you more, you would be better off simply buying another headset. I purchased two of these headsets so I could keep the extra pair in my travel bag for when I travel. Hope this helps.
