Update: Mine is fully charged and has now been playing for about 20 minutes. AWESOME!!! Works just like I had hoped. Didnt even try the stock headphones for more than 30 seconds, I put them in my ear and they felt terrible so I tossed them aside. Tried it with my headphones of choice and they sounded great and volume was full, just like they were plugged in to the phone. Then, what I bought it for : plugged the bridge in to my laptop surround speakers and they sound just like my phone is plugged in!! I was actually surprised by how well it sounds. There is no loss of quality or volume at any time. Highly recommend this to everyone who could use it!! Just dont expect much from the headphones that come with it.....they are gargbage. (I really think they are the same headphones that Airtran gives you on their flights
)
