Little Red Headset Sep 07, 2007
By M. Cheung
"mcmom213"
(Yes, that's wordplay on a Prince song.) I hate headsets because I've never found one that really truly works for me. Sure, I can hear through them and I can speak and others hear me but it's they're not problem-free by any stretch of the imagination. But, I keep searching.
I was first drawn to this because it's red. I'll be honest. Then I realized that it was small. And then, inexpensive. So I bought it to use with my iPhone.
I've been using it for about five weeks as of this review. It's super easy to pair, it fits nicely in my ear and to date, has not fallen out once. The charger is a neat little case which for some reason, I like.
I find that I often have to turn the volume down on the headset because it's just too loud even while driving with the windows down. People I talk to have said that they don't even notice that I'm using a headset which is important to me. I hate when people use headsets that make them sound far away or like they're standing in a silo. One time I was standing outside and it was getting ready to storm and the wind was blowing like crazy. My friend did say he couldn't hear me well with the wind blowing that hard into the microphone. Makes sense.
That's been the only trouble though. Oh, and the thing is so small it's easy to lose in a purse for sure and easy to forget when you put it in your front jeans pocket. It's had a few close calls with the washing machine.
I like it. Sound is good and my friends don't hate when I use it and it stays in my ear without that goofy hook thing on my other bluetooth headsets that get tangled up in my hair or doesn't sit well under or over my sunglasses.
UPDATE 11/6/2009: I just wanted to add that it's been over two years since I bought this and I'm still using it daily. It still works great even though it's been through the ringer - lost, dropped, even put through the laundry cycle! Still highly recommended.

Great Earpiece Jun 10, 2007
By A. McCardie
The WEP200 is a great earpiece. My family is very hard on earpieces and we've broken units from several manufacturers including Bluespoon, Logitech, Motorola, Plantronics and Scala. After my wife's Plantronics earpiece died from a quick dip in a puddle, I started looking for a replacement. The Samsung was on sale and had decent ratings, so I thought I'd give it a try. After she'd had hers for a few months, I bought the red one for myself.
Pros:
It's very small and light.
The case is pretty well sealed -- the charging contacts are metal strips not a plug, so the only hole is for the microphone.
The sound quality is excellent (tried with Sony-Ericsson W600i and Cingular 8525/HTC Tytn).
Stable (no random disconnects, power-offs, etc)
Good battery life
Cons:
The included rubber ear loops aren't easy to use. With enough fiddling, we got them to hold the unit securely, though. Jabra ear gels work as replacements, but the unit won't fit in the charger with the gel attached.

 Cute and functional Dec 13, 2007
By kdmbrjc
I ordered for rather silly reasons: the price and the color. The red headset matches my red Palm Treo perfectly. And the fact that it sells for under 50 bucks is nothing to sneeze at. But despite ordering it for all the wrong reasons, it works well.
However, I do have some words of caution. First, it is so small that there is the danger of losing it which I almost did on more than one occasion. The fix to that is to make sure the headset in your ear snugly. Second, it shuts off after you charge it and you seem to have to hit the "on" button just right to turn it back on which is frustrating. Third, if you have a Palm, you have to re-pair it every time you turn the headset back on, which is annoying. Fourth, the sound quality is not the same as if you were speaking directly into the phone which is probably the same for all headsets, but there is no buzzing or static that is experienced with other headsets.
A great thing about this headset is the range. I was using it the other day in the house and forgot to take the phone with me to the other room! I only started to lose the signal when I was about 70-80 feet away from the phone. Since this is my first experience with a Bluetooth device, I am not sure is this is the norm, but I was impressed nonetheless!

Great fro small ears Jan 07, 2008
By Chef Greg Munoz
"Texas Kayaking Chef"
I was searching for an inexpensive bluetooth for my wife whose ears are much smaller than mine and has had a problem finding a bluetooth that would fit properly and not become an issue to deal with daily. The WEP200 seems to have done the trick, once she had properly adjusted it in her ear, she went throughout the day forgetting it was even there. The range is great and the sound quality is good too. Its not the most high end model but it does a good job. It was shipped really fast as well so we had it much sooner than we thought we would.

Great little headset. Aug 23, 2007
By Jeffrey Lanham
"bluezone"
This is one of the lightest, good sounding, headsets I've ever used. You don't look like a Borg with it on, because it's so small, most people don't see it. My only complaint is that sometimes the headset will quit communicating with my Samsung Blackjack. I don't know if it's a headset or Blackjack problem. I would recommend it highly and plan on using one of these for a long time. Quick recharge time and fairly long battery life, for such a small headset, are definite pluses.
