premature(?) accessories

I ordered a couple of bluetooth headsets from Daily Steals today. I keep buying things related to this Kindle Fire that work still hasn't given us yet - the headrest mount, the USB chargers (major complaint in the reviews is that the Kindle doesn't come with a charger!). I'm sure I'm going to want a Bluetooth keyboard too. There was another (better looking) Motorola bluetooth headset that showed up on one of these daily-bargain sites recently, but the reviews for it were mixed. The reviews for this model are more consistently favorable. Battery-life comments have varied widely; I doubt that "all day" means the same thing to everyone. (I think it would mean 12-16 hours to me, assuming I wanted to use it for 8 hours at work and 2 hours of commuting and then allow for working a long day or some use at home. Is that all day talking, or just listening, or on standby? And personally, I think these headphones are rather ugly. But they're supposed to be comfortable, functional, and have good sound, and when I'm using them they're not going to be where I can see them.
Bluetooth headphones should work with my laptop as well as a tablet. That would be nice for watching TV shows and movies, even if I am only a couple of feet from the screen. (Can you pair multiple headsets to one laptop? Two people might want to watch a show together.)
My work cellphone supports bluetooth, so that would make the phone more useable in the car.
