The AULA A500's 1000mAh battery lasts about 100 hours with ANC off and about 60 hours with noise cancelling on. A full recharge over USB-C takes about 3 hours, and 60 hours covers more than a week of eight-hour days. Evetech backs it with a 1-year local warranty.
Battery life figures on wireless headsets often come with a catch buried in the fine print. The AULA A500 is upfront about its: about 100 hours with noise cancelling off, and about 60 hours with it on. Both are long, but the gap between them is worth understanding if you plan to use ANC every day. Here is how the A500 battery life works out in real terms.
The AULA A500's 1000mAh battery lasts about 100 hours with ANC off and about 60 hours with noise cancelling on, according to AULA. A full recharge over USB-C takes about 3 hours. At eight hours a day, 60 hours with ANC on covers more than a week of use before it needs a charge. The A500 costs R639 at Evetech.
Active noise cancelling is not passive. The headset is constantly listening to outside sound and generating an opposing signal to cancel it. That processing runs the whole time ANC is on, and it draws power on top of playing your audio.
So the gap between the two figures is the cost of that processing. Switching ANC off removes it, which is why the rating rises from about 60 to about 100 hours.
Here is how the ratings work out at different daily usage levels:
These are based on AULA's rating. Real results depend on volume, connection type and how you use the modes.
A full recharge takes about 3 hours over USB-C. The box includes a USB charging cable, so you have what you need from day one. Because the battery lasts so long, a good habit is to top it up once a week rather than waiting for it to run flat.
The battery is 1000mAh, a figure AULA lists alongside the runtime ratings.
For long journeys, the A500 has another option. It includes an audio cable that plugs into a 3.5mm jack, so you can listen through a wired connection as well as wirelessly over Bluetooth 5.4 or the 2.4GHz receiver. That gives you a way to keep listening on devices that have a headphone jack.
Evetech carries the A500 in black. See how its battery compares with other options in Evetech's wireless headset listing, or across the wider gaming headsets range. It is backed by a 1 Year Local Warranty.
