(More customer reviews)I've been waiting a while to get a real stereo bluetooth headset and decided on this one after extensive research. I knew that Samsung was a good brand and the price was not too bad, under $60. I didn't want to spend too much because I knew the quality of bluetooth headsets like other wireless technology today are inferior to wired ones. The main use of the headset was for use with my Sony mp3 phone while excercising so that I wouldn't miss any calls.
The package came brand new and the headset looked great. Unfortunately, the directions to pair the headset to another bluetooth device was incorrect. Maybe my headset had its circuitry crossed but the directions from Samsung to pair the headset was way off. You need to hold down the main button then turn on the headset. Only then will the headset go into pairing mode by maintaining a solid blue light. It took me a couple of days of troubleshooting and experimenting to realize this pairing method. I just hope that this problem is only due to my headset because I assume a lot of people who buy this headset and try out Samsung's directions will become very frustrated. I almost returned the product and I am sure many others would too.
Well, once you get it to work, the headset performs rather well. The A2dp format makes a difference in terms of listening to music. It's definitely better than my old Motorola H500. The only time it skipped on the music or had statics was when it got low on battery. The headset will let you know when that happens with a couple of beeping noise every other minute. Of course, the quality can't compare to wired headsets but it's not too far off. That's the price you pay for wireless. Some may find the headset too long for their head. The headset is suppose to rest on the ears and lie on the back of the head just above the neck. However, I found that the headset was a little bit too long. I can't really bend my head backwards with it on. Other than this design flaw, I feel the headset is pretty good for the money you pay.
