4.0 out of 5 stars Samsung WEP870 Review, October 11, 2009

I purchased this headset mainly for its stereo bluetooth capability and the fact that it suspends off your neck as a lanyard. I have previously used Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 and HBH-DS205, and both of them would drop connection like crazy during phone calls on my Iphone even though music playback was quite solid. I loved the way HBH-DS980 came as a lanyard. Here I will present my 3-week experience with the Samsung WEP870.

Form factor:
It is interesting that Samsung designed this headset to fit like a traditional over the ear monostereo headset but also allow you to attach it to a lanyard as a A2DP stereo headset. The mono headset on your ear and the lanyard both feel really comfortable. When plugged into the lanyard, the earphone does stick out a little, and overall the weight of the headset is heavier and bulkier than the Sony HBH-DS980. Another design shortcoming I have noticed is that the there is no microphone on the lanyard portion of the stereo headphone wires. However, most of the time the caller on the other side can hear me pretty well with the headset sitting down my chest.

A2DP audio:
The stereo bluetooth music playback is absolutely amazing. The music sounds like it's coming from a pair of wired headset. That is coming from having used 2 Sony headsets. There is no hiss or interference with music playback. The bass is tight but not overwhelming.

Bluetooth calling:
The connection dropping I had with the Sony headset isn't an issue with the WEP870. It will drop connection probably every 2 or 3 days, but not to the point which will prevent me from using them all the time. If you are listening to music, and a call comes in the phone will switch to the phone call automatically as with all stereo headsets. The caller on the other side sometime complain of my voice sounding distant when I wear the headset on a lanyard. This is to be expected. I have not wore this headset as a mono headset on my ear, so I cannot tell you what the quality is like. I assume it's really good since it does have noise cancelling building with 2 microphones.

Battery life: I am getting at least 3-4 days of standby time, and I really haven't tested the continuous music playback or phone call battery life.

Conclusion: I really like the WEP870, especially for the high quality stereo music playback. I am no a fan of wearing those mono headset on my ear and much prefer hiding the lanyard under my shirt.

This is a really great product. Super easy to use, love the bluetooth handsfree capability, the earplugs strap is great with a slide feature that keeps the left & right from becoming a tangled mess. The only downside would be the earplugs themselves don't stay in as well as I had hoped for. I'm planning to check and see if the rubber tips are interchangeable. The sound is great and super easy to use with my phone.
