Customer Reviews

good sound, but ear hanger is cheap plastic

I liked that the voice was clear, the piece that goes into your inner ear fit in well. So I could both hear well the person I am talking to, but also blocked external noise.
However, the plastic piece that hangs over the ear turned out to be a cheap cheap thing that broke in a week.
also the so-called personalized faceplating is a joke, it comes with 5 stickers that you can stick on the earpiece... they may as well send a box of crayons...

A comparison to the Samsung WEP200
You get what you pay for, and then some. Especially after the included-in-the-box $20 rebate, this headset is a winner.

(Please refer to the pics I added)

Most of this review will be a comparison to the Samsung WEP200.

PROS and Neutral:
-Battery life, talk time, fidelity are all pretty OK, on my Nokia 6126. I can't give you specific times/durations, but it's about the same as my WEP200. It doesn't seem as if there is noise cancellation, but the volume gets loud enough for pretty much all uses. There are no complaints from the other party either - In general, compared to all the headsets I've used, I would give it a A- for fidelity/clarity.
-It seems to be slightly lighter than the WEP200 in my ear, but it could just feel that way since some of the weight is on my ear due to the loop.
-There are 3 (S.M,L) ear adaptors for different size ears, and one other ear "adaptor" that was already attached to the headset - I'm not sure what this is for. The instructions did not mention the use of this at all. The 3 adaptors have a small central hole and 3 holes in its periphery. The one "adaptor" has one big hole in the middle only. I tried putting the Large on top of the "adaptor" and this seems to kind of work, but will fall out. The rubber ear adaptors are thin on the outer ring portion, and are comfortable.
-The headset will stay sync'ed to my phone even when it's charging. With my WEP200, it would un-sync when I put it in the charger. This also means (and it says so in the manual) that you can use the headset while it's charging. (This, to me, was kind of surprising, since most peripherals don't recommend usage while charging)
-The AC adapter is the same as the one for the WEP200, except that the WEP200 also needs the little charging box that the AC adapter will plug into.

CONS:
-The earloop is a thin piece of plastic, and is not adjustable. It does not latch on to the earpiece very firmly, so it can fall out pretty easily. It gets a bit annoying when you try to put on the earpiece and it gets dislodged from the grooves that hold it in place. Mine hasn't broken, but I don't stress the material at all either, so....
-There are 6 skins included, but unlike the Jabra headsets that use true inserts underneath a transparent plastic cover, these are stickers.
-The LED light that indicates status is located on the side, and not very easily visible. This is kind of important to me to be able to check the status at a glance.

So it's perfectly serviceable, especially for its price.

flimsy hook
The plastic ear hook is practically useless, when wearing together with the headset, it pushes it off my ear so it doesn't fit snug. decent audio quality. easy to set up
