I had a pair of Jaybird Bluetooth headphones (8hr battery) a while back on this forum. They sounded fantastic, but the noise cancelation will definitely not allow you to remain situationally aware. The other downside was the earbuds were slightly larger than standard and wouldn't stay seated well (even with their included support) in a full-face helmet.
It didn't take long for me to realize that my pair of great $40 Sony's (with in-line mic control) wasn't too much of a hassle for it's tiny wire, no battery issues and is MUCH easier on the wallet than the $150-$200 Jaybirds.

I first tried the Jaybird Freedom Sprints, but they were too large and felt unconfortable under my 1/2 helmet with the overear padding installed. After the Jaybird X Premiums were released and in stock, I purchased a pair locally and have been using them since that time. If I remember correctly, I purchased them in February 2013.
The key is too fit them properly, i.e. chose both the correct size ear tips and correct size cushions. Of course, one thing I like about the Jaybird X Premiums is that I can link to both my GPS/XM Radio and iPhone if I want to at the same time. I'm not sure if I've actually gotten 8 hours out of them but I have run them out of juice a time or two--just never looked at the clock. I usually just use the iPhone plug-in charger to recharge the Jaybirds. If I really need to I can just plug my wired earbuds into my GPS/XM Radio as a backup.
Neither the Freedom Sprints nor the X Premiums have noise cancellation. I write that since my wired earbuds actually have an on/off switch for noise cancellation which makes a noticiable difference when switched on. Those too require a charge as well, but the noise cancellation feature does not last as long as the charge that the Jaybird X Premiums hold.

I haven't tried the Jaybirds but just ordered these to try, and they just went on sale:
I can let you know how they do when they come in. These do have a replaceable battery, so I may see about getting a spare for the longer rides.
