I work from home on 12 hour shifts. Once in a while I have to be both on the phone and type at the same time so it's easier with head phones. I've been using B&W Bluetooth headphones but something is wrong with the microphones so I'm looking for a replacement. 

I read on the Devialet site that the Gemini's have a standard charge for 6 hours and 24 hours 'in the can'. Is anyone using them for a full day at work? I'm sort of thinking that I won't have them on all the time but they do need to be ready and charged when I get a phone call. Having to charge them because they're totally dead is not an option. When I wear them I will also be listening to music.

How easy is it to charge them? There seem to have been some issues 'in the past'?

Another question that I can probably find the answer for but can't be bothered looking up; can it be connected to two devices at the same time?

Thanks in advance,

Pim

If you really wantbthe longest lasting buds and don't need super-duper ANC, then I can recommendthe M&D MW08. The sound is very good (not the loudest) and they have 10 hours per charge, with an extra 3 charges in the case. They are built like something you will pass down to your kids and they to theirs. The most beautiful ceramic top layer. The stainless steel case is built like a vault. 
Unfortunately, the ANC was very importantto me and aftrr tryingthe Gemini I was spoiled and am willing to take a hit on the battery life for the great Noise canceling.
Have you used both Gemini and Mw08? I'm very curious about the audio quality (soundstage, clarity, rich sound) which one do you prefer most? I know that mw08's app doesn't support eq but no one in the reviews i have readen makes clear if they need it in their audio tests. After all which one do you suggest for better fit and usability? As you can imagine i am between these two for purchase.
thank you. 


I preferred the Gemini's deeper bass and that I didn't have the feeling that the volume could go a little higher. There were times I had the MW08 turned all the way up (like watching a video) and was surprisedthat they were at maximum volume. The MW08 have a neutral sound stage, which reproduces what the content creator made. The soundstage is excellent, everythingi s crystal clear, i was watching a series on Netflix and I heard background noises and voices I probably would have missed if I was watching on TV. You know, when the subtitles say a noise was there, or a sound in the background, but you didn't hear it. And audio lag is very low. I think the Gemini's are a little more noticeable.
The MW08 are comfortable to wear, I just had a little trouble with finding the right tips as I apparently have big ear holes. 
The fit and finish are above the Gemini's. And they are overall a little smaller. The case is much more portable than the Gemini's. Not to mention you could use it to break down a door if you had to.
But all in all, I still like the sound of the Gemini more. The NC is amazing, and you don't miss the extra volume when your favorite song comes on and you want to turn it up.
