Charging

There are no electronics truly wireless in the world. And the Lenovo W770 Wireless Headset is no exception. It's wireless in operation. But in order to charge it, you have to use the included USB charging cable (see photo below).

The charging cable is a proprietary cable that has an standard USB connector on one side and a standard 3.5mm audio connector on the other side. You plug the USB connector into a power source (e.g. your computer), then plug the audio connector into the headset. A LED turns on to indicating that it is charging.

The instruction manual claimed that the first time you charge it, you should charge 12 to 24 hours. However, I only charged it for about 2 to 3 hours before the LED turned off.

Performance

Once the headset works with my Windows 7 set-up, I started testing it for reals. I started playing music videos from YouTube. The music came through loud and clear, but the bass didn't go low enough for most modern music. Looking at the specs, its speakers had a range of 20 Hz - 20 kHz.

The wireless function, on the other hand, worked flawlessly. I walked to the other side of the room. The music continued to play without any interruptions.

Next, I played a movie with the wireless headset. Much like the YouTube music videos, I didn't get much bass out of the movie, but the added picture dimension distracted my mind from focusing on the music. It will be very useful when I watch a movie in the living room while my kids are asleep.
