Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased two of these, one each for my wife and I. The are better than crap. :-)
I really like that this has a physical off/on switch, and this was the primary reason I purchased these. My wife's Bluetooth has a push button off/on and I get calls from her pocket and purse a couple of times a week, which is annoying, and worse, it means wasted minutes and it also means when she wants to use her Bluetooth it is dead from calling everyone in her pocket. So bravo Samsung for putting a physical switch on this unit - this should be a requirement.
We are pairing these units with a Blackberry Pearl Flip and a Samsung Gravity (We're on T-Mobile) and they sound pretty good. The audio quality is clear, which is key. Another reviewer mentioned their limited dynamic range, but since I am not trying to sing opera through my cell phone I haven't noticed a problem. Everyone hears me just fine, and in fact, they prefer listening to me on it over my Nokia BH-200 earpiece.
The unit is very small, and quite comfortable once you get it on your ear. Do note that getting it on your ear isn't as easy as many other ones are. The plastic ear piece is tight enough that it forces me to use two hands to get it on, so in a hurry I'll just stick the earphone into my ear canal and fit it over my ear while talking. I have heard the ear pieces are somewhat brittle but have as of yet not had one break.
This unit charges quickly and maintains a very long lasting charge. I can leave it off for many days and still have a lengthy amount of talk time when I turn it on. The talk time at full charge is listed at 6 hours, and I know I have gotten a bit more than that out of mine, though as time passes this will inevitably degrade some.
Would I buy these again, yep. They work fine, and while they aren't the top of the line, they aren't making those claims nor are they asking those prices. If you just need something that works, not something fancy, this will suit you just fine.
Update as of 5/10/2010:
The only thing I would add to the review above is that the plastic ear hook is quite fragile. I thankfully purchased 2 headsets originally so I've gotten more life overall, but I have now broken the second ear hook. This is not a good design if you carry the earpiece in your pocket like I do. If you leave the unit sitting on a desk or in your car it'll probably last forever, but I keep snapping them when I sit down with them in my pocket. I called Samsung USA - 1-800-726-7864 - and they do sell the ear hooks by themselves for $2.99 each. So I ordered 4 of them.
