I needed something to interrupt my XM radio in my car whenever I get a phonecall. This fits the bill exactly. Connect this in between the XM radio and my car stereo's aux input...
Voila! Bluetooth stereo sound comes from my car speakers, and the mic works quite well placed on my center console.
Call comes in, my XM music stops, yak yak yak..., hang up, music comes back on!

This great little device is perfect for anyone with a stereo-capable Bluetooth phone. Out of the box and after a charge, it synced up very easily with my Samsung a900 "Blade" cellphone. I am able to listen to my iPod by connecting the audio plug directly into the iPod and when a call comes in, the sound is muted (though it would be more ideal if it could pause the music) and when I am finished with the call, the sound returns.
The main benefit for me is that with the stereo earbuds, the sound of the person to whom you're speaking is directly in the center of your head. I never have to say "WHAT?" or "Sorry, I didn't catch that". Of course, you cannot legally use both earbuds at the same time while driving, one earbud does function quite well. The other main benefit of this device is the longevity of the battery. I talk a LOT on the phone and I have rarely had this phone die out on me. I have been able to talk for hours on end, though I do charge it up fairly regularly at night while I sleep. It comes with a charger with a mini-usb connector that slides into a hideaway slot in the side of the unit.
The main disadvantages of this unit are somewhat important. The device is well made and has rubberized sides which are handy. However, the unit has a clip on the backside which is fairly close to useless. It can be attached to your clothing, but it is not very secure. The best bet is to use a small lanyard with a clip attached to the end to more properly secure the unit on your person. This lanyard and clip, however, are not included. (I use a clip that came with my pedometer!) Also negatively, when not in use, the earbuds do dangle about...one can replace the earbuds with earbuds of your choice, but it would be nice to have a way to wrangle those long cords (I use a small white twist tie) :).
Another small partial negative is that the mic is on the oval unit itself...There is a pinhole in the rubberized side surface that houses the mic as the dangling device is on your chest, proper placement is essential for people to hear you well, though even with a lot of ambient noise, the mic does a remarkable job of picking up your voice...I've tested it standing in front of a fan and the other person said the fan was loud but that they could still hear me! So it is a partial negative/partial positive.
One major issue is the big button visible on the center of the oval unit itself. You use this button to answer calls and hold it longer for call waiting and so forth, however if you are in a call and you inadvertently *BUMP* this button (it's an easy click) then you disconnect from the call immediately. So be careful when using this device and try hard not to hit that button when you don't need to!
And finally, at least with my Samsung a900, the bluetooth is erratic. It could easily be my phone (I have just had 2 firmware updates performed on it) but my phone will occasionally just lose the connection to the device and I have to restart my phone. I might think this was just my phone, and it possibly is, but my jawbone bluetooth headset does not have this problem. So I am not sure.
All in all, this is a great product that would be greater with some sort of cable wrangler attachment and a shield for the button...I'd have given this product a 5. Still it's a great bluetooth headset, I only wish I could use the stereo capabilities of the headset when listening to music on my Samsung a900...THAT requires an actual cabled audio connection :( Ah well, we can't have it all...yet!

I've gone through my second Jabra BT325 in less than 6 weeks. When they work, they work pretty well. But I think that I am going to give up on these and try to find something else.
My goal was to find something that I could use my own headphones while running/cycling, and use them to hear a call come in from my cell phone and answer the call without stopping to touch my MP3 player and cell phone. I thought the Jabra BT325 was the perfect solution. The concept is a good one. The device is no bigger than your car's keyless remote and clips onto a shirt or jacket. Pairing with my phone took less than a minute. Sound quality was very good when listening to my MP3 player. When a call comes in, the music fades and I can tap the device to receive the call. Works great when running or on the bike. The built-in microphone could be better with blocking out wind noise but it does a decent job. The real problem has been with the unit powering on and holding a charge. Both units that I've received have decided to stop responding after one or a couple charges. I've tried pushing/holding every button to somehow reset it but nothing has worked. Amazon has decided to refund my purchase but I'm disappointed that this product did not live up to its potential.

the concept is great:
if you have an mp3 player of any sort (iPod or other), you have to have a headphone cord running from the player to your head anyway. why not just add a bluetooth headset in the middle of the line and multi-purpose the earphones already in your ears. instantly add stereo to your phone calls and get decent integration with your audio player (the BT325s will mute your player during a call, though it won't pause it, then automatically switches back to the audio when a call ends).
advantages over bluetooth earphones: you still get good audio fidelity, you only use the headset batteries when you are on a call, you don't have to have a bluetooth adapter for your mp3 player, just use the standard audio out. the Jabra BT620s, for example, requires an adapter for use with an iPod; the iPod won't fit in most standard protective cases with the adapter attached.
advantages over just using regular headphones for music and a regular bluetooth headset: you don't have to take the headphones off to take a call with the bluetooth headset.
so again, great concept. moving on to execution in the BT325s. after three months of use:
1. horrible microphone. even when i hold it right in front of my mouth, i get reports of sounding muffled, cutting in and out, etc. please improve the microphone.
2. only one microphone. depending on how you are wearing it, the microphone ends up on the underside, away from your voice, covered in clothing, etc. there ought to be two microphones, on opposite sides.
3. absolutely worthless clip. the engineers of this product obviously didn't test drive it. due to the microphone placement and clip design, the only way to wear it is with a button-front or zip-front shirt/jacket. to run the cord inside your shirt/jacket, you have to have it untucked, the cord is too short otherwise. the clip bends easily and gets loose, then it can't be bent back. it doesn't rotate, so you can't optimize placement. need a durable, spring-loaded clamp-type clip with rotation. the rotation mechanism should have notches preventing inadvertent rotation once it has been set.
4. better integration. there really should be a way to not just mute, but pause the mp3 player when a call is placed or received. but this is just gravy. if 1-3 were resolved, i would use this and recommend to everybody i know. as it is, it is going on the shelf.
sad to say, i have to call this a waste of money. i really, really wanted it to work.

Works just fine with my iPod and cell phone via bluetooth. It would have been better to integratethe microphone in the earphone cables so that the controller can be attached to your belt. It's awkward to attach the integrated mic and controller anywhere on your body where the mic is effective.
