Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Offering a sleek and sophisticated design, the Samsung WEP700 Bluetooth mono communication headset delivers crisp and clear communications by canceling out background noise. With its dual microphone noise and echo canceling technology, the WEP700 provides the ability to communicate in any noise condition--whether sitting in the bleachers surrounded by cheering fans, walking down a windy city street, or riding in a convertible.

The Samsung WEP700 Bluetooth headset in black.

The WEP700 provides revolutionary noise cancellation through digital signal processing (DSP). Employing two microphones with voice separation technology, the WEP700 combats annoying ambient noise like wind, background chatter, and music. By using Bluetooth version 2.0 with EDR, this headset further ensures your conversations will be crystal clear. And as the ambient noise levels change, this headset is quick to respond with automatic volume control.

The on-the-ear design of this headset provides the flexibility of a detachable ear hook, which is both small and lightweight. It provides up to 6 hours of talk time, and up to 200 hours of standby time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good price; works well on my phone, August 29, 2009

I can't speak to the experience others have had on this headset, but I've not had the problem with echo and I certainly don't dislike the design. Everyone's ear is different, however, so it is entirely possible that while it is quite comfortable for me and sounds fine, for someone else it may be uncomfortable and not work well with their phone.

I use this with a Motorola VE240 and it works just fine. No hint whatsoever of the echo another reviewer complained of (though I'm sure that their experience was precisely as they reported it). So I the moral here is that there is some risk to getting this headset. It could well be that it will work fine for you and fit fine, as it does for me. Or it is possible that it will work poorly and fit awkwardly.

I suppose that you could always give it a try and return it if it doesn't work for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Works well, hate the design, August 27, 2009

This bluetooth works well. I like the technology, and the hands-free calling is wonderful. I love not having to press numbers on my phone to call someone--a very good feature when driving. However, I hate the design. The earbud is much too big for my little ears. They should have made different sized earbuds so that you can choose which is more comfortable. One size does not fit all. The same goes for the stringy earpiece. If I don't wear the attachment, the bluetooth falls out of my ear. With the attachment, it still falls out, so I have to stick it under my glasses to stay on. As far as technonlogy goes, it works. But in functionality, this device fails. I prefer Plantronics because they include different sized earbuds and include the same technology. But if you are willing to cope with the huge ear bud, it is an okay device for under $30.

4.0 out of 5 stars Seems to have an echo problem, October 15, 2009

Overall, I like the headset so far. The only complaint I have is that my wife says that she gets an echo on the other end.

I like that it has volume control and it gets loud enough for me to hear people when driving. This may seem like a given but the last two headsets I've used did not get loud enough and I'd have to use one hand to push the headset into my ear so I could hear.

It seems to have a decent battery life but I don't use it enough to know for sure.
