Sennheiser Presence Bluetooth on-the-ear Headset


How to Charge Your Headset
  1. Connect the USB charging cable into the car charger included in the box, into a computer via USB port, or into a wall charger with a USB outlet
  2. Charge 35mins for 5hrs of talk time / 1hr 20mins for 10hrs of talk time

How will I know it’s charged?

While connected to the charging cable, the lights will guide you!

  • 1x flashing red light – less than 1hr of talk time
  • 1x flashing blue light – 1-2hrs of talk time
  • 2x flashing blue light – 2-4hrs of talk time
  • 3x flashing blue light – 4-10hrs of talk time
  • Solid blue light – 100%

When wearing the headset, it will verbally tell you!

  • Click the power button on the headset and voila! A female voice will tell you! “Between 4 and 8 hours talk time” etc.
