Hi Guys,

Just got a general question on bluetooth headsets (as I've never owned one before!):-

I've been looking at a few: The Jawbone, some cheaper ones, and also the new Apple one for the iPhone. For the Apple one, it says "up to 72 hours standby time", but I won't want it to be on standby all the time (ie. connected to my phone and powered on, ready for calls) - I'll want to keep it in my car glovebox until I get in my car, and THEN connect it to my phone and put it into standby just while I'm actually in my car (30 mins of every day).

My question is: Do bluetooth headsets generally have a full power-off, so that I could keep the headset turned off and stored in my car for say a week, then pick it up and use it straight away (for the 72 hours of standby time) without it depleting the battery at all while it's "off" and not in use?

Hope this makes sense. Basically what I'm saying is does the "standby" time mean the amount of time between charges, EVEN if it's not used at all (and turned off), and do the li-ion batterys on these things just deplete over time, requiring charing even when they're not been used at all for days/weeks?

Can no-one who's ever owned a bluetooth headset answer me this question? :)
