Excellent for music as well as talking on the phone
By Adam Hems
I got these, at considerably greater expense than here I might add, from my cell phone vendor. Much has been said in other reviews so I will not repeat that here; instead I will focus on my experience with them using my Smartphone and Windows Vista to listen to music on them.I patiently waited for them to charge (two hours) before trying them out. It was then a few minutes work to get it to talk to my Cingular 3125 Smartphone (press and hold the home button, Comm Manager, Settings, Bluetooth settings, Menu, Devices, Menu, New).My phone will play music and uses the external screen to display the track etc. so that was the first thing I tried out - worked perfectly the first time I clicked play on a song on my phone: the sound just came out of the headphones, wirelessly! I was able to skip back and forwards, pause and play using the buttons on the right side of the headphones and adjust the volume using the left side.The quality was not the best I've heard - not as good as my iPod for example, even though I had just ripped it from the CD at 256Kbit so I loaded the song onto my PC and tried listening to it there. I am running the final, released version of Windows Vista and was able to add the headphones as a Bluetooth device ok but then was unable to use them as Vista didn't have any drivers for them (even though it knew what it was). So I tried plugging them in via the USB cable that came with them and it found drivers for that ok and seemed prepared to work. However playing the file I had just played on my phone didn't result in sound coming out of the headphones...? A browse of the manual told me I needed to press and hold both the left and right side buttons after waiting 10 seconds after plugging them in. Once I did that, they changed colour from their red "charging and dead" colour to the "I'm doing something" blue. As soon as I did this all sound from my PC came through the headphones just fine!They sounded much better when getting sound over the wire then they did wirelessly over Bluetooth so clearly the sound quality is degraded by the Bluetooth connection somehow. When listening wired, there is lots of bass and the treble was clear and overall I was surprised how good they sounded. Fairly loud but you won't go deaf with them.To get a comparison, I plugged in my Sony MDR-V300 headphones, which are a very nice sounding pair of the regular wired kind that plug into the headphone socket, and listened to the same song again on my PC. The Jabra's are definitely not as good-sounding as the Sony's. I also noticed the song didn't sound as good as it does when I listen to it on my iPod using those headphones so the audio circuitry of my notebook is apparently not as good as the iPod which I don't think is very surprising.They are light and comfortable and in summary, it is good being able to listen to music on your phone without the hassle of wires or of having to reach for a player to skip songs you don't like but the experience, in terms of music quality, is way short of that when using an iPod and high-end headphones.

By Gaurav Kulkarni
This is my second pair of the BT620 headphones (my wife stole the first one). I am almost an audiophile and these headphones are good enough for me. The bass levels are pretty good and all the rest of the frequency distribution is balanced. For talking on the phone I have tried it with 2 blackberries (7290 & 8820) and a Nokia. This works well with all of them. On the 7290 the audio quality is better than the built in microphone and speaker. These cancel out an appreciable amount of background noise as well and makes talking from a crowded place without shouting quite natural.The headphones fit quite comfortably. I can wear them through the 10 hour work day (of course off during lunch) comfortably. Same with my wife, and our head sizes are not the same to say the least. The headphones feel flimsy the first time you take them out of the box, but are quite sturdy and can take a lot of abuse. (I have had one pair for about an year and still is going strong.)I am an electrical engineer and work on bluetooth enabled products, so you can imagine there are at least 10 different bluetooth connections in my environment continuously. The headphones never have any trouble even in that environment. The range I get is about 20ft through walls and a lot of metal.As I said I wear them through the 10 hour work day and have never had the battery die on me. I leave it charging for the night and the next day they are back to normal. I guess the older headphone should be coming to the end of its battery life because of being deep cycled continuously (Li Ion batteries don't take that well) but I think finding an after market battery replacement should be pretty easy for them. They use a standard size single cell 320mAh battery.I would definitely recommend these over Logitech Free Pulse or their older model. I tried those out before I got my second pair of the Jabra, and was not satisfied with them at all (Uncomfortable and bad bluetooth connection).

I like it.
By Glenn
I should say I right now that I don't own a cell phone so I can't verify the microphone part of this thing - only the music part. It's a bit funky to get used to, like learning all the colors and flashing LED's, beeps or the controls. It's also a bit heaver then normal headphones because of the batteries. I recommend you don't read the getting started guide, rather jump right into the user manual.You should get in the package: 1 BT620s headset, 1 USB to USB mini cord, 1 AC adapter, getting started guide, and user manual, spare pair of ear cushions, and finally a carrying bag.I was a little overwhelmed of the things it says it can do, so I thought it had about 10 buttons on each side. Actually, both sides have 3 identical buttons (the big center button, and up and downs (left: volume, right: jump tracks or FF or RW). The left big button is for phone control AND turning the power on and off and activating discovery mode. The right big button just pauses, plays.The user guide explains the the length of holding the button down does different things. For example: to turn it on, press the left button for a second. To turn off, hold the same button for 5 seconds. To turn on discovery mode - hold it for 5 seconds while OFF. Cool beeping sounds tells you what is about to happen.It sounds great. All the buttons that are applicable work (all but phone). Good range. The manual claims that the purpose for the usb to mini usb is so you can charge and wirey listen to music from your computer. But it didn't work for me - it only allowed me to charge. But you should be able to charge your headset where ever there is a powered USB port: PC's, PlayStation 2! It's too uncomfortable having a thick usb wire hanging and and tied to my PC while listening to music anyway.The AC charger is cool because it's wider instead of longer then normal AC adapters so you can fit another plug below it. There was absolutely no mention of the carrying bag ANYWHERE. It still won't protect from the elements or drops or crushing it. It's cool for reusing it as little things I guess.As for all behind the ear headphones, lying in bed is really uncomfortable, especially if your a side sleeper.And, unlike the logitech, NO signs of cracking on the band.Cons: I never want to see the flashing two blue LED's (steaming stereo). It is possible to turn them off but they always seem to find a way back on; a little heavy; no user replaceable battery.EDIT: 5/8/11It's been sitting in a box for years, so I charged and paired it up. I don't know whats happened to it, maybe the band got slightly bent but it's really uncomfortable behind the ears now.I gave it to a friend and he too wouldn't buy it for dirt cheap. It's pretty heavy and bulky on the sides too. I know this item is long discontinued but look FAR away from it.
