I'm thinking of picking up some bluetooth stereo headphones, but only if I can get through a day easily without running out of power.
Usage pattern is normally about 40 mins listening plus some web browsing on the train to work some intermittent listening and browsing in work, then another 40 mins on the way home along with a bunch of texts throughout. Anyone have any experience as to how the battery will cope with this, or generally how long you can use a2dp for?

I use my 5800 and go running and work out at the gym with Stereo bluetooth for an hour or two and see barely a blip in battery life...

I think it's working pretty good for me.

FWIW: I use http://www.jaybirdgear.com headphones and they rock.
