Here's everything I have installed that matched grep blue :p

----
blueprobe - 0.18-r3 -
bluez-hcidump - 1.38-r0 -
bluez-utils - 3.23-r4 -
bluez-utils-alsa - 3.23-r2 -
bluez-utils-compat - 3.23-r4 -
kernel-module-bluetooth - 2:2.6.24+git29+2c55337cb0cde08203df321a108409b7e33e6904-r2 -
libbluetooth2 - 3.23-r0 -
task-base-bluetooth - 1.0-r71.02 -

I'll be sure to check the CPU usage next time I try it.

Packets start to drop when according to l2ping between the phone and the headphones while I'm using it as well.  I wonder if that means anything?
