Hi Sara,Yes, the P311 has a 400mAh battery built into it. And when the USB cable is plugged into an active USB port the headset light should be a steady Red for charging and change to steady blue when complete.A non response would IMHO indicate some possibilities:1. The charging cable is defective. ----Try a different cable2. The USB outlet is defective. --------Try a different USB outlet or charger.3. The P311 is defective. --------------Try to submit a form to Arctic at: http://www.arctic.ac/us_en/products/mobile-accessories/headphones/p311.html Support tab.IF that helped click the helpful button.I need all the help I can get.

Yes the battery is in the headphone. When plugged it turns red and on turns blue.

It has to be charged. Other than that, there are no batteries for it. There should be blue and red lights on the side with the buttons when turned on.

Be sure that the headphone really is plugged in all the way. Athough I purchased the Ubuntu version, the hardware is identical. I noticed that it requires a bit more force to plug in the headphone than I expected, so the first couple of times, I got no audio, because I wan't really plugged in.If you still get no audio, that may be a product defect. In that case, contact Amazon or ASUS for exchange or warranty.

hey Anne, I'm not a seller of this item but I did purchase this and love this external battery. My battery came with the head attachment/ extender and a USB mini for charging. I think if you buy it new, it should include the headphone adapter. BestSteven

I don't believe I've had such a problem. Wait; I'm confused. I plug the transmitter into my computer (the headphone jack, I believe) and the receiver into my headphones. Is my computer a power source? My only complaint is there doesn't appear to be any way to change the rechargeable battery, if it wears out, and the company did not respond to my email concerning how to access the battery. They are in Australia.

I had to send mine back as it was DOA. I bought the Bose equivalent afterward. But to answer your question, it should have run off an internal battery

The headphones themselves take rechargeable batteries (which are included with the product). The base that the headphones rest in when you're not using them is what charges the headphones so the base comes with an AC adapter that plugs into an electrical outlet. You can't directly plug the headphones into an AC adapter though. Hope that helps!

I´m using my PX210BT for two years...It is a great product! AN opinion: Do not remove the battery from the headphones, just charge it on the headphones. Good Luck

Hey Alan.. I dont think so.. the red light on means that the power is being supplied to the headphone.. and about the battery check, i usually charge the headphone overnight to use it for like 6 hours.. Hope this helps!

It should come with possibly half battery right out of package and should be able to at least turn it on from side power button by holding down on it which will light up red numbers for station and blue w/ red lighting by volume knob for pairing. Also once connected should turn on. I would check that the light by usb connector lights up first to make sure you have power which will be a blue light. If that works and main device still not working while connected knowing it has power and pressing power button to turn it on it will be a defective part that is in bluetooth stereo device.

check connections to ensure everything is all plugged in all the way. I know the headphones plug into the box can seen like it's plugged in all the way but may not be. Could also be another issue with the wiring after checking that out. contact seller after checks if no improvement. These really are decent for the price.

No, you need the rechargeable batter installed for the headphones to work. I charge mine after every trip (after it went dead once on me). For this reason, I prefer the previous version (I have both) that uses a AAA battery .. that you can get at any airport.

I haven't had my Sennheiser set long enough. I just received it last week. I purchased a spare battery and charged both of them as directed before using it. It's still working with the first battery. I have not had to use the back up battery.

Same question , but there are conflicting answers so I'm going to ask again with a disclaimer...Will the headphones work AT ALL if the battery is dead? I do understand that the noise cancelling functionality, and other advanced acoustics require power - but isn't it programmed to play basic audio if there is no charge? It's kinda crazy that a $10 pair of earphones can work without power buy a $350 device is useless without any power. Again, I'm not asking about full functionality - I need to know whether "bare-bones" audio functionality will work without a charge???

Mine only lasted barely an hour with ipod at 3/4 volume and the NuForce amp set on low. It may be defective so I don't know for sure. Product description says battery included. From what I gather it is not user assessable. I may return it after 3 trials of overnight full charge and doesn't last more than an hour.

You have to use the XLR cable for the output. Then just make sure your mixer phantom power is on and you're all set. I haven't used mine with a battery yet. Good luck!

Mine arrived working and stopped after an hour:(. If the plug fits the Jack I would contact Amazon assuming it is broken. Amazon refunded my $ without even requiring me to ship back the broken mike. I would guess this happens often with this product:(
