Jabra has introduced to new audio products for the Australian mobile consumer market. The new headsets plug into your MP3 player, but use BlueThooth to link to your phone bringing the best of both world's in an affordable solution. The two headsets, the BT320s and BT325s are designed to allow you to listen to music without risking missing a call. The headset also automatically pauses the music when you get an incoming call. A remote control interface also gives users complete freedom to operate the music functions without getting tied up in wires or losing connectivity with the rest of the world. "The mobile music landscape is changing rapidly and Jabra is focused on developing mobile audio products that interact with users in a way that meets their needs.  In two years' time, seven out of 10 mobile phones will have music functionality and we want to make sure the Jabra brand of audio products is at the forefront of this market development", said Christian Tang-Jespersen, senior vice president, Jabra Asia Pacific. Both models are Bluetooth 1.2 compliant with headset and hands-free profiles, feature hi-frequency headphones and a standard 3.5mm jack for connection to various music devices. Multi-coloured LED indicates status on Bluetooth, battery and charging. The 23 gram Jabra BT320s is available in ‘Deep Black' and offers up to 6 hours of listening/talk time and 160 hours standby time. It may be worn either with a clothing clip or neck strap and has phone and music controls combined (answer/end, reject a call/call waiting, last number redial, voice dialing, play/pause/stop a call, prev/next track, FFWD, RWD, volume control). At 40 grams the Jabra BT325s is slightly heavier, but offers eight hours of music/talk time and 240 hours standby time. It features "contemporary and urban design" to "suit any style"? It has slightly fewer controls offering on/off, call-answer/end/reject/hold/wait, last number redial, voice dialing, mute, volume control. Both models carry a recommended retail price of A$129.
