This headset was my all time favorite. It fit it in my ear perfectly and was so light I barely felt it and usually forgot I even had it on. I personally doubt that it would fit every person's ear though, it doesn't seem like it's terribly adjustable. The reason I could only give this headset three stars however is because of how fragile it is. I have a Plantronics Discovery 650 and I couldn't tell you how many times I've dropped that tiny headset but it never faltered. The WEP200 fell only once and that was it, it was broken. It was knocked from a table only about 4 ft. high. Granted, if you put the headset in a secure location where it has no chance of falling this would not be an issue to you but I think the majority of people stand a good chance of dropping their headset even if that chance is when it falls out of their ear accidentally. I would love another of these headsets but I wouldn't waste the money for myself.

This is a basic headset, no noise cancellation. Ear loop is VERY fragile, and you have to remove it to charge the unit, so be very careful. You can't argue with the price, though. My loop broke and I called Samsung parts department and asked if they would send a new one for no charge - which they did. Good service once I got to the right person.

I think this is the best bluetooth headset for the money. The sound quality is excellent, the battery life is very good. I have successfully paired it with an iPhone, a RAZR, and a Samsumg BlackJack.

I HAVE GOOD THRU A FEW BLUETOOTH OVER LAST FEW YEARS. THIS ONE MEETS OR EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS.

I HAVE A MOTOROLA M-9 BLUETOOTH THAT FITS IN THE EAR PRICE WAS 100.00 DOESN'T WORK AS WELL AS THIS ONE.

HAVE SEEN IT IN CELL STORES FOR 49.99 OR MORE AND GOT THIS ONE FOR LESS THAN 1/2 THAT.
ALSO HAVE AN EMERSON THAT LOOKS SIMILAR TO THIS THAT WORKS WELL BUT NOT AS WELL AS THIS ONE, DO WISH IT HAD LONGER TALK TIME BUT IF U GET THE CAR CHARGER U ARE SET.

Ok, seriously, who are the group of dolts at Samsung approving the release of a products like this? Did they take the time to at least put it in their ear? I'm writing this because they are making newer models, but with zero design improvements.

Problem here is not the function or technical aspect, it's the design. I have no idea who's ear this is designed for, but it's not for humans. You would think that with the mention of three ear bud attachments and an ear ring, that some type of combination would be a perfect match for anyone. Not even close.

The size is appealing, and the storage case charger is great. It does work well, low noise, and good range. However, it only has about four hours of use before you need to recharge. But, if you have to balance it in your ear, and keep still, or hold it, it kinda defeats the purpose. It being so small and falling out ALL the time also leaves you wondering where it went, and who is either sitting or stepping on it.

So, the cheap, flimsy useless piece of plastic thing that attaches to the headset has less value than the strip of plastic that you peel off the top of a milk jug cap. Plus, there is no place to put it. The headset goes in it's case, but you are supposed to put this plastic strip thing where, exactly? Certainly not in your pocket as you will mistake it for garbage and throw it out. That must be where mine is, because I have yet to see it in the past few weeks.

There are three rubbery ear bud cover things in different sizes. They have an appending ring that may be there for fitting in your ear, or maybe to floss your teeth. Who knows. They do nothing, and the sad part about all of this is that the best fit is when you don't use any of the included attachments... but it hurts either way. I had to spend additional money on two different sets of of ear bud covers. One set were foam-like wraps... useless. And some type of rubber things that just did not fit.

Samsung WEP-301 Bluetooth Headset (Silver) is the newer model, but it is not any different in design. However, it's so cheap with rebate, it cost less than the freakin' earbud covers I wasted money on. Therefore, after this appealing review, and you still want to buy this thing, I would go for the newer one. But, don't say I (we!) didn't warn you!

NOTE: If you are ok with putting superglue in your ear to keep it attached, please disregard this review.

The bluetooth itself is o.k., but the ear clip that comes with it is cheap and breaks. Purchased this item twice and each time the ear clip broke in the same place.

I would recommend this bluetooth because its small and its a good price, if thats what you're looking for, but I would never buy this piece again. Definetely in the market for a new set.

My major grips about this set is
1: doesn't stay on the ear well, if your talking or chewing gum and your jaw is moving, the piece WILL fall out .. and since its small, its hard to find if fell out while your driving!

2: stupid 1 multi-purpose button. I hate having to hold it for 8 seconds to turn it on, and 3 seconds to turn it off. You never realize how long 8 seconds are, until your standing there like an idiot, pushing a button for 8 seconds. (1 one-thousand, 2 one-thousand, 3 one-thousand, etc etc) And if you happen to count short 1/2 a second, (7.5 seconds) you have to repeat the Entire process again. Yet, if you hold it for too long, like 10 seconds, then it thinks your trying to pair it to a new device.

3: Battery life isn't very long. You have to recharge it everynight so you can use it the next day, and I dont really use it that much, and I keep it off when I'm not using it.

A perfect trifecta: price, looks, and function - Review written on November 11, 2008

I had been holding out a while on the bluetooth headset because one I had years ago (a Motorola) was a piece of junk. Then the handsfree law came about in CA and I had no choice. I saw the WEP200 on a deals website for under $20 and jumped on it. I saw the already good reviews and figured I had nothing to lose.
My 2 main objections to bluetooth headsets have always been 1) the hideous look of a turd attached to your ear, and 2)the hideous sound quality from said turds. The WEP200 has blown me away in both regards. It looks sleek (even matches my Armani sunglasses!), is tiny, and sounds great. When I've used it in the car, the person on the other end can't tell the difference, and I think it sounds even better than holding my handset to my ear.
My only complaint would be the lack of a car charger, but for the price, I won't whine that much. The battery life is great as far as I can tell.

Overall, you can't go wrong with this one.

I got this bad boy on sale, and I couldn't be happier with it. No extra bells or whistles on this thing. Pretty straightforward product that does EXACTLY what it's supposed to. I've had no problems with the earbud not staying in. The ear-hook plastic attachment broke within a week, but I haven't had a need for it, as the headset stays in my ear just fine without the attachment.

If you're looking for a basic Bluetooth headset, this is the perfect product for you.

I had not purchased a bluetooth headset before because I didn't think I would like them. I wear glasses and never seemed to be able to find one that was comfortable...and I didn't really know enough about them to know which one to buy and couldn't afford to spend a bunch of money on something that I may not use. I picked this device up on a sale Amazon was having where there were many different ones to pick from - all at $20 with no shipping. At that price it was worth trying out...especially when I saw this one that fits in your ear rather than a clip over your ear. I've had it for over a month now and I absolutely love this! I have an expensive cell phone and the clarity of the bluetooth is better than my phone. It's easy to sync and easy to use and has really made it easier to talk and be on my computer or in my car and still be able to use my hands. Right after I got it - one of my work partners told me she used to work for a cellphone company and that she had this exact same bluetooth and it was one of the best out there and she paid around $100 on sale for hers. She wasn't happy when I told her what I got mine for.

This samsung wep200 is my first bluetooth headset. I love this thing.

It's small and comfortable. Sound is clear and volume is just loud enough. The connection to my phone in my pocket has always been reliable. It's very light and manages to balance very well in my ear.

I primarily bought this ear piece to use while driving, but I've found it's also great while on walks or doing housework/yardwork.

Finally,I have the comfort of purchasing a choicest of the Blue tooth system for my Mobile.....based on some of the other reviews I was having second thoughts about this instrument...., but based on the official specifications, I dared to try one. Its worth giving a try, its a REAL MASTER PIECE. It has a GOOD POWER BACK UP, it supported me for more than 4hours of continous talk on my travel once....and secondly it has a good range of distance..., at times I even have the mobile in some corner of the office, but still it has a good reach....I don't think I might need more than this...its just serving the purpose its intended to.....and above everything it has a good volume and of course it can be controlled....

I'm completely satisfied and I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE... :)

The earpiece itself works great and is comfortable but you do need the ear hook to hold it onto your ear. The ear hook is very flimsy and broke within a couple of weeks.

For the price and quality of this product. I am highly recommend this model over the others. It is very easy to set up. So far, it did not fail me yet. But have to spend little time to learn how to use the product while you are wearing it. I did make one or two call or drop a call by accident. Only signal you would get is different tone.

I've had this for several days now and am very happy with it. I've had the Jawbone before and nothing beats it's noise cancellation (that I have since laundered)but with this one it seems that I can hear the calls more clearly and the recipients of my calls can hear me with no troubles. I am one of the lucky ones in that this piece fits snuggly and comfortably in my ear. I even forget it's there often. Overall this is a great headset for the buy.

Perfect headset! What is so wonderful about this little gem is that it is crystal clear. Others I have owned have been cumbersome and I received chronic complaints about not being heard. Not so with this one at all, thank heaven!

This Samsung WEP200 is a hands-down winner and the small size and price tag is icing on the cake. Buy this one with confidence. Oh, and by the way, I have had zero problems with it fitting in my ear and I am a woman, so I guess it is all about the genetics. (smile)

After putting my Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset with Multipoint Technology through our washing machine, I thought I'd purchase a cheap $20 replacement. The Plantronics Voyager 510 was a little large but I was always satisfied with the voice quality and fit on my ear. The Samsung WEP200 does not compare in function to the Voyager 510. I never could get it to attach to my ear and stay there. Nor was the sound quality very good. Overall, Samsung makes great LCD TVs and decent printers. This device, like their Blu-Ray players, is lacking in function and performance. I returned it to Amazon for a refund and will buy another Voyager 510.

I had seen this bluetooth headset in an airport and did not buy it because it was overpriced - being in an airport shop and all. After searching for it, I finally found it at a very reasonable price on Amazon. I have been using it for the last few weeks and am very satisfied with the performance of this bluetooth headset. It is very compact, easy to use and the sound is very clear. I would recommend this headset to anyone that is looking for a small headset. Another feature that I really like is that it does not have the over the ear clip for holding the headset to your ear. The little earbud is much more comfortable for me. I cannot stand having over the ear type clips, so this headset was perfect for me.

This headset is easy to use and works well. The main problem I had with it was the ear piece would not fit/stay in my ear without the hook (included). It is still comfortable and light with the hook but would have been nice without it. The sound level is plenty loud and the battery lasts for a week on 30-45 min use per day.

Well I ordered this Samsung WEP200 from Amazon.com and received it quickly and in perfect condition. I followed the instructions and charged it fully before using it for the first time. The charging was complete in less than an hour and should fully charge from "empty" within 2 hours. I paired it with my Blackberry 8100 and it was simple and straightforward. I have made numerous calls and the quality from inside my home is perfect. The earpiece is plenty loud and people can hear my conversations clearly. The headset is TINY! and very lightweight.

I am a large guy with a big ole head and the headset fits me just fine after changing the rubber earpiece to the Large size. It comes in 3 different sizes, S/M/L AND for those with oddly shaped ears, it comes with a earloop piece which can be attached to help hold the headset in place. I dont find the earloop necessary since the headset stays in place just fine for me.

The 3 buttons on the unit are simple to use and the voice dialing feature works flawlessly with my Blackberry phone.

The only reason this unit did not get 5 stars is because of the charging mechanism. You have to put the headset in a little case, snap it shut, and then connect the power adapter to the little black case. Why not just make it where I can plug the charger directly into the headset?? Trust me, there is room for it. I am afraid if the little black storage case breaks that I will no longer be able to charge the headset.

Overall, this is a great BT headset, as long as things don't break, you will get plenty of great use out of it.

Great Product, but ear hook broke off at the end of 3 days. In order to recharge the unit you must remove the hook. Each time you do this puts stress on the part and it eventually breaks. If you choose the rubber ear pieces right, they do fit in your ear. I ended up not using the hook, at 5.00 per item, not worth it. Unit is loud enough, and unit lasts long on a charge. Overall pretty happy with unit.
