 Excellent for music as well as talking on the phone December 2, 2006

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.
 I like it. May 22, 2006

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.
 RF is OK, but bass is not that natural October 21, 2006

I bought this headphones from local store
pairing is not hard with laptop
the control layout is a lot like Motorola HT820 (vol and call/power switch are on the left; play and prev/next are on the right)
the RF is OK, pretty much like Logitech
the problem is sound in hifi mode, it sounds like CD player has Mega Bass turned on, bass is over-emphasized on some part
the headphone is pretty comfortable to wear
I give score of 88/100, the sound in hifi mode is not good as expected, also, AVRCP is kinda sluggish
Does NOT work well with iPhone November 13, 2007

If you are like me, looking for a headset that lets you control your iPhone, listen to music, and answer calls without taking the iPhone out of your pocket, this is NOT it.
I am sure this is a great headset with other devices, but NOT with iPhone.
It pairs to the phone, but not the ipod on the phone. I found out after buying this product that it's because Apple's bluetooth support is pretty weak.
When pair with a Macbook Pro, everything is in mono (not stereo, wow, amazing Apple support of bluetooth).
From reading online I found out it's not the issue with this phone, but Apple's lack of support for wider bluetooth products, but still, I wish the product description would have said "doesn't work well with iPhone at all."
Great combination headphone for MP3 player and LG VX8300 cell July 5, 2007

Great combination. I am thrilled with the being able to work, answer my cell without switching headphones. I especially like the fact that I can connect to the MP3 player and the cell at the same time.
I DISLIKE the fact the whole ring on both sides blink blue when it's on. You have to hold both sides main buttons down for 6 seconds to turn them off. The lights blinks again after a recharge (reset to normal). I like the play time (up to 16 hrs) says Jabra.
Jabra Firmware update, go here:
http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/NA-US/support/Pages/JabraBT620s.aspx
The download has a PDF file explaining fixes and how to update the firmware using a USB to microUSB cable (supplied with headphone).
UPDATE: using the headphones with my laptop using USB port: plug in usb cable between BT620s and pc. wait 10 seconds, push and hold both main buttons until left sid flashes red led. Start your Windows media player. sound transfers to headphone. right side controls start/stop and forward or reverse one track.
Problem: if I pair headset to phone and to a A120 BT adaptor connected to MP3 player, I have to REMOVE from phone and re-PAIR the BT620 to the cell if I want to use the BT620 for both LG VX8300 cell and media player capability. Nature of the beast, I guess.
Update 2: Please be careful and read the seller's description. I bought one for my son and they sent just a BT620s and charger. My factory blister packed came with manual, USB cable, extra cushions, and soft cloth bag to carry the headset with. I saved all of $7.00.
