Bluetooth headphones are just another thing to charge.

It's not just that Bluetooth Headphones are another thing to charge. It's also that it significantly reduces playing time on my player. Just turning on Bluetooth reduces my playing time by more than half. If I'm listening to 128kbps MP3s it drops down from 45 hours to 20 hours. I need a minimum of 16 hours to ensure that I always have all-day playing time before I have to charge it.
