Battery Usage

[Whynotnow?]

Hopefully someone here can help me out here. I have a Nokta Legend and currently use the Bluetooth headphones that came with it. My question is whether using traditional corded headphones would use less battery power over the course of a day? I'm sure it would be a somewhat minimal difference but who knows. I really have no desire to add weight with the extra battery. Also still looking for some waterproof Bluetooth headphones if anyone has any suggestions.

Yes, wired headphones will definitely save battery power, just remember to turn off bluetooth in settings so it's not 'looking' for a device to link with.
Bluetooth won't work through water, so there's really no point in waterproof BT headphones. That's why you can't find them.

For water hunting I use JVC waterproof over-the-ear buds ($13 on fleabay) with the plug cut off and replaced with a waterproof M12 connector (also $13 on fleabay).

I included the pinout for the connector if you need it.
