    I purchased this Samsung Stereo Bluetooth headset WEP870 because I wanted a convenient way to have instant Stereo Bluetooth audio for my iPhone 3GS and answer calls, without always having to wear the Bluetooth headset in my ear(s). What’s cool about this headset is that it doubles as a normal Bluetooth headset so; if you want to walk around with a “Borg” device sticking out of your ear to make and receive calls then, this can do that, too! Borg in the ear; that part is not for me.

    The idea that you can wear your Stereo Bluetooth headset and have ready access to it is nice. The neck strap feature is awesome.

    The design of the Bluetooth device with its own earpiece that can be used without stereo is nice for those that like that option.

    The design of the Bluetooth device with its own earpiece sticking out, when connected to the stereo earbuds and neck strap is not a good idea. On the very first day that I wore the stereo headset, the Bluetooth earpiece lost its rubber ear form, never to be found again. Samsung does not include extra ear forms for the stereo earbuds or the Bluetooth ear piece. Getting this replaced is not an easy thing to do, contacting Samsung. They say you can order it from their website but I haven’t found a way to do that, yet. Calling them with limited hours and getting them to figure out what you are talking about is another issue. Shouldn’t they have a replacement part number that you could reference, in regard to the replacement ear forms? Losing one is not covered under the warranty.

    The Bluetooth earpiece should have been designed to fold-in when connected to the stereo earbuds and neck strap; to avoid this type of issue. Bad design, there.

    Another bad design: The placement of the dual microphones is on the Bluetooth headset piece, in awkward locations. When connected to the stereo earbuds, one of the microphones is completely covered by the stereo earbud/neck strap connector and not able to capture your voice as it is completely covered By the connector. The other microphone is in a far-downward location, by your stomach, when wearing the stereo earbuds. I have to physically hold the Bluetooth headset microphone very close to my mouth so people can hear me, clearly.

    This Stereo Bluetooth headset should also come with a carry pouch or case, when not in use. You’re on your own, there.

    Generally, I like it for the price and the convenience of what it should do. It works well but it could work much better. But for the price, I am not really complaining because I don’t use it all of the time. It works for me for price and time used. If I can find something much better then, I might consider a different stereo Bluetooth headset but have not found one at a very decent price with the neck strap and stereo earbuds so; this works for me.

    First off, the sound quality is above average. Coming from a very basic Jabra BT headset that came free with my old phone, I can assure you, this product’s clarity is above average. It’s not the sleekest sexiest headset out there, it’s kind of chunky and boxy, but it works well and charges quickly. The battery level indicator is nice touch. Add the headphones, and the sound is very very good. Not audiophile good, but great when paired with the convenience of listening to music without a direct wired connection to the player (in my case, a Motorola Droid). I leave my phone on my desk and wander about 35 feet before losing the signal, but this may be a function of the Droid itself rather than the headset. I will say, it is strange the way the BT headset has to hang around your neck lanyard-style when using headphones. There’s really no good way to conceal it since, again, it’s a boxy unit. It just hangs there looking odd.

    The only performance issue I’ve noticed, and this might be endemic to all stereo-capable BT devices, is that when I pause music playback and switch around between apps, when I resume the music, the audio signal is trapped in a kind of stuttering feedback loop. The only cure is to turn off the BT headset, and then power it back up, then it’s fine. It’s like the signal needs to reset. I haven’t experienced this when incoming calls pause the audio playback, so it’s not a big deal.

    I really do like this package, particularly because I can listen to talk radio in mono through the BT headset without headphones during boring meetings, and nobody is the wiser ;-) . I am concerned about what happens in the future if/when the headphones give out because the connector is very specific to the BT headset, and is not something you’re likely to find a replacement for at your local box store. I’m sure it’s a special order part. So I’ll be careful with these. If you’re looking for a way to enjoy music wirelessly through your phone, and get a good BT headset at the same time, here you go, enjoy!

    Pros:

    *cost- you can’t get a better headset for the price

    *value- the unit can convert to a mono earpiece or a pair of stereo headphones- it’s like getting two products in one

    *design- the only stereo bluetooth headset that doesn’t make you look like a dork :) (see Motorola, Rocketfish, planttronics products)

    I have mine paired to my motorola droid and it works great.

    Cons:

    sound quality is only slightly above average (8 out of 10?). Lots of bass by default.

    This isn’t a problem if you use an app that includes an equalizer such as MixZing (on the market) for Droid.

    Overall:

    I did a lot of research before settling on this product. Most competitors are $50-$100, and this product is a steal at $29.99 online, or even lower if you search hard enough.

    I have a test track for new headphones as far as music reproduction is concerned – “This Could Be Anywhere in the World” by Alexisonfire. They might not be your style, but there’s a very low bass note that hits in the main riff (da da! {{rumble}}) that lower quality headphones miss. They’re comfortable and sound great at lower volumes, but pushed farther in your ears. Pairing was not a problem (iPhone 3GS) and call quality is decent, though the earpiece for the headset itself doesn’t fit well in my ear. Overall, it’s definitely a solid product.

    Edit:

    After a few weeks of using just the headset, I have some notes on it. The headset still fits a little weirdly in my ear, but it’s manageable. So far people have been able to hear and understand me just fine through the microphone, and volume is a little low for my tastes but maybe that’s due to the earpiece not sitting quite right in my ear. Charging time is not an issue for me since I put it on the charger when I get home from work and keep it off when I’m not using it. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for bluetooth headphones or a headset!

    This headset works pretty well, although for me it can be uncomfortable in your ear for any length of time. It does play the music as stated through it, whether you are listening mono or as stereo with the 2 ear pieces in. I did have a problem getting it to work at first though. I would listen to music, but when somebody called me it would pause the music which is good. However, after the call ended the music did not start back up. I was very irritated at that. I thought what the heck good is this if it says music will resume when call is over and it doesn’t. I was not happy. Eventually, I turned the phone off and back on and then, I tried it again and it worked. Things to note is that it only plays the music files (your mp3s). It does not play music from any games, videos, tones, etc. through the headset. This was a bummer to me, but at least it played my music which was the most important factor for me. I used to own a Nokia N-95 phone, and any headset(ones that were not stereo headsets) I used played all of that(music, videos, games, keypad tones, and such). Unfortunately my Samsung Behold doesn’t let me do that.

    I’ve got a very specific question about using a Bluetooth headset as a mic for a recording program. Is there a forum or IRC channel I can visit for help?
