I have gone through tons of bluetooth headsets for work before I settled onto this one. I use a bluetooth headset for a nextel at least 8 hours a day. This headset looks very sleek and cool. It even feels pretty comfortable even after prolonged use. However there are a few weaknesses about this headset. For starters, the sound isn't that great. Sometimes I hear static and crackle and sometimes it sounds like someone is talking into your hear through a plastic cup. Also if you have two devices connected, sometimes the other device's transmission will take over the current transmission. I was talking on the phone and my nextel connection booted my phone call. Other then these few issues the headset is pretty good.

Pros:
Long battery life
Pretty comfortable after prolonged use
Looks cool
Not too many annoying status sounds and beeping
Easy to connect

Cons:
Earhook takes up quite a bit of space
Sound isnt that great
Doesnt stay to one wireless connection
Lacks a dedicated power switch

I purchased this else where with [...]. Big Mistake!
Sound quality on my end is fine but call recipient complains either static/metalic interference or that I sound like I'm in a tunnel.
I RMA'd the first one, and the replacement exhibits the same problems. This is strange as the WEP700 was one of the best units I've owned (until I lost it).
I immediately tested the replacement WEP850 via my Voice Mail - SAME PROBLEM as the original WEP850!

Phone: ATT Tilt / HTC Kaiser (latest stock ATT ROM Build of WinMo 6.1)
Phone tested and works with WEP700 and Plantronic Model.
Fails as described with WEP850

Update - just tried on my laptop with bluetooth & Sound Recorder (and then Audacity.) Choppy, but less audio issues.
Just some dropouts (not a good thing but different from experience with phone.)

You have to hold buttons for several seconds to turn it on (and for everything else too) worth only after a GOOD
Is really bad product with a nice presentation.
