You do need to have the battery in, but it's a single AAA. As long as you remember to turn the phones off when not in use, the battery will last a long time.

I just tested it on my Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone and I had to turn on the noise reduction on the Bose headphone to hear the music, so I believe a battery is needed. With the noise reduction off, I could not hear any music. I normally use my headphone with my iTouch, never with my cell phone.
