how long did the remotes last?

Experience on this seems to vary quite a bit. Mine has been in service about 10 months and is still going strong. Others report reduced battery life or inability to charge in much shorter times.
I don't know if this is a contributing factor, but because many (most? all?) rechargeable batteries deteriorate if repeatedly allowed to overcharge, I've always made a point to disconnect my Voice Remote Pro from the charger when it reaches full charge, or slightly before. I especially try to avoid letting it charge unattended overnight. The charger I use outputs 2 amps and the remote charges fairly quickly. You can check the charge level via Settings > Remotes & devices > Remotes > Voice Remote Pro > About, or just by unplugging from the charger and observing the popup on the upper right corner of the screen.
I don't think fpefpe has a voice remote pro with a rechargeable battery. There was/is a streaming stick plus headphone edition sold by Best Buy. I have one and it does not have a rechargeable battery. I have had no problems with the remote but it is in a spare bedroom that is not used very much.
Yes, I know, but in the first post he was asking about fixing or replacing the remote. The only current replacement from Roku that has an earphone jack is the Voice Remote Pro.
Whether he can get a replacement from Best Buy for the remote that came with his Best Buy stick version, I have no idea.
