Its extra long so it would be hard to replace. Charging seem pretty fast with about 2. I plug it into my computer, listen to either I Tunes or Pandora Radio and can still do anything I normally would on the Internet. You will love it! One day, when putting them on your ears, theyll just snap, and fail to grip your head and start to be pretty uncomfortable, and all that engineering goes for naught. ) Theyre not as comfy as the headphones I mentioned above, but they fit and didnt crush my skull either. Photo 3 with the focus on the bottom sole-> on right side the real RockDove bottom sole logo and size stamp, on the left side the imitation with stamp detailing the size and "Made in China". I was really after some thing that would minimise cables which this is not. The metal on the panels was so thin that the panels kept collapsing on each other. I love this headset and I am not going to share this with anyone.
