Jabra, better known for its audio products for the mobile consumer market, today rolled out its Mobile Music Headset in the all new BT320 stereo headset, that allows you to get connected with your music enabled cell-phone wirelessly. Designed exclusively for music lovers on the move, it combines both style and functionality in one package. Sporting a Deep Black casing and weighing less than an ounce (0.8 ounces), it shouldn't be a problem carrying around this baby around your ears, and whats more it is rain shower proof as well (IP22 compliant). You can get going with the headset by just pairing it with your music enabled mobile phone and the way it goes. You can start listening to your favourite music not having to worry about the incoming call as the music just pauses when there is an incoming call allowing the user to decide. The Jabra BT320s comes with exchangeable stereo headphones and can also be paired with Jabra A120s and Jabra A125s adapters. Users can stay connected while being unplugged with up to 6 hours of listening/talk time and 160 hours standby time. It features a multi-colored LED for status on Bluetooth, battery and charging. The Jabra BT320s will be available in North America Q4 2006 at an MRSP of $89.00 USD.

Probably the wrost bluetooth stereo headphone one can ever think. I had purchased this (Jabra BT320s)instrument from Singapore for my O2 XDA Stealth. I brought this device from the shop after getting confirmed from the shop keeper that this device will work with my phone and he demonstrated the headphones with my mobile.
But my fate soon after returning to my home, I found that the audio quality is of very bad and the connection drops very frequently (20 times for 1 song). You know what I mean here, this is steareo head phone basically people buy for listening to music, and this is the state of it.
Second issue, even if the song plays good in your mobile the same song speeds up while you hear it through this device and slows down to an extent where Britney can sing a song with male voice :-) (credits to Jabra BT320s). I my day was made very bad due to the purchase of Jabra 320s. I called the support center immd. And informed them of this issue. They asked me to bring the mobile and Jabra320s to the support center in the next day.
The support engineer upgraded my firmware of the Jabra and told me that this will fix the issue, but for my bad luck the issues were not solved. The he replaced the device with an other one and the issue didn't resolved. Finally the support engineer directed his problem to my O2 XDA Stealth and told me that I have software clash that is what causing the issue. I humbly accepted is complain and removed all my softwares and soft reset then hard reset also has been done. But still the problem did not solve. So I returned to the shop keeper who sold it to me asking for a solution and now he is telling me that he can take it back.
I have called the main support center number and couldn't speak to them. Today I left a voice message and left a contact message through their website support page.
Jabra 320s is a Bluetooth device one should never think of... Let me see their support in solving my problem, if they fail then the company will be block listed too from my self interest.
Hi
I got one of these off ebay for about £12 so I am not too bothered if it is a little flaky. I wanted it to use to link my phone to my hi-fi.
Its a complete bloody nightmare to pair. At one point I could get the headset to pair with my Nokia N73 then, after having paired it with my laptop momentarily, could not get it to re-pair with the N73. Despite removing the pairing on the N73 the thing seemed to only parially pair and would not stream audio for anyone.
I just ran across a fix elsewhere that made a real difference. There is an undocumented full reset procedure for the BT320s as follows:
1. Turn off the BT320s and delete the pairing/profile from the phone/device.
2. Plug the BT320 into its charger three times, each time leaving it plugged in for 3-5 seconds.
3. Repair the phone.
Sounds weird I know but just nailed it for me after around an hour of fiddling previously. Perhaps it deletes residual pairing information. Go figure !!
Hope this helps.

Had the same problem experienced by Jim with pairing BT320S and a Vodafone v1615 (HTC TYTnII/Kaiser). When pairing it the only option was handsfree no wireless stereo. Checked on google and seemed the only option was to download from Jabra the firmware update BUT as has been mentioned on other forums they use a non standard USB (its not mini USB who know why!!). My reseller didnt have any, Jabras help centre in UK told me to go and buy one but offered no help on where to get one. PC world, maplin etc dont have them. luckily a further search on Google came up with the simple fix suggested by Jim. Brilliant, and worked for me. HOWEVER its not all good news. Listening to some tracks streamed from the windows mobile media player on my phone through the headset they definitely do periodically slow down like the good old days with cassette players!!! Also it regulalrly drops out. Whats that all about. Luckily I only paid £14.95 so I'll put up with it.
Been using the charger plug method for about a year now, could not find any info about usb cable anywhere.
Bought a Fuji Finepix camera for xmas and surprise surprise the usb cable was compatable to 320s so did firmware upgrade.
works mutch better now.
One problem is a usb cable to buy
is £14.99 which would make the cost of a320s adear buy.
Thanks for this article very helpful. thanks.
