otg cable for charging my Bluetooth headset SBH50 - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

Is it safe to use otg cable for charging my Bluetooth headset SBH50 on the go using my note 3 battery as charging sorce????
By the way, been using SBH50 for more than a month now have no problem recommending this device to anyone looking for a wireless Bluetooth option for cellular or audio listening needs I'm definitely impressed with its functionality and sound quality. However the battery charge do not last more than two days even without use at all (standby only) and less than one day with light use (about one hour calls) although sony says that SBH50 minimum Rated Talk Time: 8 hours, and Minimum Rated Standby Time: 400 hours
I don't know if it is my Headset problem or it is actual battery life for this type of sony headset ??

Does BT v2.0 get you anything over v1.2 for headsets?

I've read the marketing fluff and they seem to suggest quicker connections and better battery life. But has anyone actually tried a BT v2.0- EDR headset? Right now my moto HS850 is only BT 1.2 and battery life is a lot shorter when I have I am actively using it.
I've got my eye on a snazzy new Moto H670 because it has an off switch and uses a usb charger. But it's new and a lot more expensive compared to the old hat v1.2 headsets. Will it make a difference?
I have Nokia BH-900 that is BT 2.0.
So far the only difference I have noticed is the faster connection time to the phone.
With my older headsets (Nokia HDW-3, HDW-4, SonyEricsson HBH-300) it took about 5-8secs to connect but with this one it's 2secs.
Dunno about the battery life. Nokia has promised up to 8hrs of talk time with this one and up to 180hrs stand by. I can't verify this since I usually end up recharging it every day. So far the longest time I've been on the phone non-stop has been 3hrs and had no problems.
There are no REAL improvements that I have noticed. Sound quality is moderate with this ear piece.
I had Sony Ericsson HBH-IV835 (also BT 2.0) and it connected in 2 secs to the phone, but I returned it for its poor sound quality and short range ('bout 5 meters).

[Q] Using Bluetooth (music/talks) how much does it drain the phone's battery?

I kid of didn't use much BT before, but somehow, because of good sound characteristics that will come out of SGS3 with the APT-X i'm thinking of using it for wireless listening to music.
I have read about a few BT headsets, so they usually use 6-10 hours of use between charges.
How much does the Bluetooth usage drain batteries of phones? Could you say your experience with SGS2 or other device? Can you use SGS2 for a day and then listen like 5 hours of music ove BT?

Bluetooth Music Receiver

I used them during my working day and was very pleased, the charger charged at about 4-5% per hour on sat nav using google maps and bluetooth streaming using deezer.
The cable is good quality and the bluetooth receiver sound quality is spot on, no breaks or anything.
All in all excellent results from £20 worth of kit

Veho 360 M4 Bluetooth Wireless Speaker

I have used the Bluetooth wireless speaker and share my experience with you guys that these are very fine in use.
Here is the specifications:
The 360° M4 Bluetooth Wireless Speaker remains completely versatile remaining with a 600mah rechargeable battery that permits playback of up to 5hrs

USB Type-C to 3.5mm adapter with minimum drain.

Any adapters for the OnePlus 6T that cause the least amount of drain. I notice listening that the sound quality is great but the dongle gets a bit warm which causes more battery drain. So after three hours and 15 minutes of Apple Music drained about 11% screen off no web browsing. Still better than my Nexus 6 which would have drained at least 25% to 30%.
So checking the aimp's with a headphone jack my Nexus 6P for example shows about 90 dBV. But using the dongle it can vary from around 300 dBV to over 2000 dBV.

The factory device used the D/A in the phone and is passive.
It does not have a DAC or amp. so the presumption would be the factory dongle would be lowest power. (Maybe)
Most others have a DAC and amp, and power drain would be based on impedance of the headphones and the volume you run them at.
Running lower impedance headphones at high volume will draw the most power.
No two people are likely to get the same result.
I use these headphones indoor could drain more powers.
