I bought this headset recently despite reading reviews about how the band broke within a few days or weeks. I thought I'd take real good care and since I was basically buying it for desktop use, usage would be real light. Well, it was very light usage. I think I may have worn this headset about 7-8 times all told in the 8 weeks I had it. And today, when I went to pick it up, one of the earpieces came off in my hand. Well, not a biggie I thought. I'll just call Samsung, they're a big company, they'll send out a replacement. Well....WRONG. I was told instantly that the neckband was not covered by warranty. The speed with which that answer was forthcoming brought to mind the numerous breakage reports I had read prior to purchase. Well, I have scheduled a 2-hour self-kicking session for later tonight.

I do have a few samsung products. The earlier ones seemed to do well while they lasted. Anything purchased in the past year or so has died quickly. I think I'm going off Samsung for a while. I suggest you avoid this headset like the plague.

The sound quality was excellent. The flimsy plastic headset will break just by looking at it and Samsung does not stand behind their product saying their warranty does not cover breakage. So it is so frustraing that Samsung will be the last manufacturer tat I will consider for ANY product.

Did not fit! November 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased these last month, and the sound was great but the fit was horrible! Anyone with a head bigger than a teenager should avoid these! But, the sound quality and ease of use is a plus if you can wear them! If they had been adjustible, we would have kept the 2 we purchased.

Faulty Neckband - Excellent audio!
The audio quality is excellent on these headphones, however the poorly designed neckband will break or split above the ears with even the most delicate use. Read more
