Bluetooth Headset Reviews

CNET has a review of the Samsung WEP700 and writes – “The Samsung WEP 700 measures 1.81 inches long by 0.74 inch wide by 0.42 inch deep, which makes it a little bigger than most Samsung headsets, but not by much. The WEP 700 is smooth all around, with both the left and right sides tapering toward the mic to form a soft curve. The square multifunction button sits right smack dab on the front, while the volume keys sit on the left and right side. Though we found the multifunction button easy enough to press, we thought the two volume buttons to be a bit too tiny for our liking. Underneath the multifunction button is a small LED indicator light. ”

CNET has a review of the Samsung SBH170 and writes – “The Ever Win SLX-800 Bluetooth headset has quite a minimalist design. Clad in black plastic with silver accents, the SLX-800 is long and slender (2.2×0.6×0.9 inch) and weighs less than an ounce. Right in the middle of the headset is the aforementioned slider boom mic that can be slid out to activate the headset and slid back in to turn it off. The slider was very easy to slide out and in; with a slight click that locks it in place after either action. Along with turning the headset on and off, the sliding boom mic can also be used to answer and end calls; extracting it will automatically turn the headset on and answer an incoming call, while retracting the slider will terminate a call and automatically turn the headset off.”

Infosyncworld has a review of the Samsung SBH170 and writes – “The Samsung SBH170 stereo Bluetooth headset delivers impressive sound quality, especially with music, but we never got used to the awkward behind-the-neck design, which made us worry that the headset might slip off any second. We also found the controls to be a bit small for our hands, and pickup on the microphone was on the weak side. Still, style-conscious music lovers will appreciate the SBH170′s sleek, unobtrusive look, especially compared to some of the ungainly Bluetooth headsets we’ve tested.”

Infosyncworld has a review of the Samsung WEP200 and writes – “Small, light and easy on the ear, the diminutive Samsung WEP200 does a great job at handling hands-free calls without dominating the side of your face. This little bug of a headset fit comfortably and securely in our ear, and we were impressed by the solid call quality. However, the tiny WEP200 has some tiny buttons to go with it, and they can be a bit awkward to press. ”

MobileBurn has a review of the Samsung WEP200 and writes – “Sometimes less is not always best. In the case of the Samsung WEP200, this attractively small headset had sound quality issues that I cannot ignore – probably owing in part, at least, to its small size. You can only fit so much technology into a limited amount of space. Samsung really needs to consider adding a noise-reduction DSP to their Bluetooth headsets to help minimize noise and improve the overall audio quality. The device’s carrying/charging case was designed to condense power and storage options for users, but to me it seems to be yet another Achilles’ heel of the WEP200. With no direct connection on the headset itself for power charging, I foresee lots of angry users that find themselves without a way to power their headset if they lose or misplace the charging case.”

PC Magazine has a review of the Samsung WEP200 and writes – “There is another trade-off with the small, light design: short battery life. The WEP200 offers only three days of standby or 4 hours of talk time. Recharging the headset is simple; just drop it into its little black case (which connects to your power outlet), and contacts inside the case connect with contacts on the earpiece when the case’s lid snaps shut. This means you don’t have to fuss with connecting a wire each time you want to charge the device, which is a nice plus.”

CNET has a review of the Samsung WEP200 and writes – “Measuring only 1.5 by 0.5 by 0.5 inches, the WEP200 is encased in a very lightweight plastic, making it one of the lightest headsets we’ve used. Like the other compact headsets, it’s inconspicuous when worn, which we definitely appreciate. It has a very simple design with a square multifunction button in the middle, a blue indicator light below that, and the volume rocker on the left spine. On the back is the earbud to which you can attach a removable rubber ear hook for a snugger fit. You can switch the position of the ear hook to accommodate either ear. We found the buttons on the device very tactile and easy to press, even when the device is worn on the ear.”
