WEP410 - Bestest Bluetooth Headset Ever, August 25, 2007
This review is from: Samsung Bluetooth WEP410 Headset (Electronics)
I've purchased many Bluetooth headsets, in hopes of finding a really qualitative one.
I've got Plantronix, Motorola and Jabra Bluetooth headsets.
BUT, one day I was in Best Buy, and I saw the Samsung WEP410's size; and I thought to myself that it'll probably have "less than crisp" transmit audio, with as equally poor receive volume as Motorola and Jabra. And then, I'd just add it to my collection of inferior product, sitting in a box in the basement.
I'm an entertainer; and I was due in New York for a concert appearance on Saturday, August 18th (the day after I purchased my WEP410) at 8:00 AM for a show time starting at Noon.
At 7:15 AM, with my cell phone set on auto-answer and my WEP 410 underneath my motorcycle helmet, traveling at 75 MPH on the New Jersey Turnpike, when I received a call from my sister, from the venue that I was due at, she seemed upset, saying that she couldn't believe that I was still at home; and that I was due there (for sound checks and wireless mike distance checks)in less than an hour.
When I told her that I was en-route, and that I was talking with my new headset underneath my motorcycle helmet, again, at 75 MPH, she said that it sounded as if I was speaking from home (I have my home calls forwarded to my cell, when I'm not at home).
It wasn't as if I had told anyone that I purchased a new headset and they were trying to make me feel good about my purchase.
The transmit quality is "landline quality". The receive clarity and volume are equally as impressive.
Motorola and Jabra could take a well needed lesson from the Samsung WEP-410.
The only thing that one has to get used to with the WEP-410 is that you don't hear your own voice, when you are speaking. That took about 5 minutes to get used to. BUT, it's vastly superior quality more than compensates for that battery saving feature.
I have no association with Samsung; and you're welcome to send me E-Mail at: cliff_wild@verizon.net.

Works great, less cyborg-looking than the Motorolas, February 19, 2008
This review is from: Samsung Bluetooth WEP410 Headset (Electronics)
I like this headset because of its small size and great reception. Even though it doesn't have an over-the-ear clasp, it fits perfectly into my ear and never feels loose or in danger of falling out. I use it for Skype, and the range is really good when I'm walking around the apartment. Get a good Bluetooth USB adaptor for your computer if you don't already have Bluetooth installed. (I'm using a Kensington.)
The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the multi-function button (which you can see in the product picture) is right where you can inadvertently tap it, and I sometimes do. It's really not that big of a deal because all you'll do is mute your call until you tap it again. Once I'm used to it, I'm sure I won't have that problem anymore. I'm very happy with this headset.

Excellent with a PEARL, February 18, 2008
This review is from: Samsung Bluetooth WEP410 Headset (Electronics)
Samsung WEP410 Bluetooth Headset This is the only bluetooth that worked with my PEARL. I tried 3 or 4 of the Plantronics 600 series units and none worked without a lot of static. No the bad side of this ... DO NOT lose or damage any of the ear gels because If you do, you're "SOL". I've been told by Samsung that additional CAN NOT be purchased. The originals are all you're going to get from Samsung.
***NEW INFORMATION .... I had to reorder the unit because I lost mine and when I received it this time it came with a double set of each size ear gel. Good news for all in case you damage one of them.
