Yes absolutely. Even having Bluetooth radio turned on but not paired to anything will incur additional battery drain. If you're going for maximum battery life you have to disable things like Bluetooth when you're not using them. Realistically the drain shouldn't be so substantial that you never get to use your headset either though. As long as you can get to a charger once a day it shouldn't be that big of an issue.

I've had my Note 2 for several months. The battery has always lasted more than a day and half.(from 7AM to noon the next day)

I've never had a Bluetooth headset. Just bought one last week. After I've been using it, the Note 2's battery always seem to go down
to 15% much faster. Now it lasts just 12 to 14 hours. I turned off Bluetooth for the last couple of days and the battery went back
to normal again.(lasting a day and half) It's just seems like the Bluetooth causes a lot of battery drain.

With Plantronics Voyager Legend, I can get 2 days on my GN2. Consider turning off GPS & WiFi if you don't use them regularly.
