Sammy does it again

Strengths: Attractive Size/Weight, Secure Fit, Bluetooth Range

Weakness: Cheap-feeling earpieces, Sticker Faceplates

After having bought the Samsung WEP410 a few months ago, I naturally gravitated towards the WEP301 when the time came to buy another headset. Both are similar in size and overall appearance. However, this is where the similarities end. The WEP301, the newer of the two, comes with an optional ear-hook and 6 six stickers that serve as faux face-plates. The fact that they’re stickers and not actual plates may be disappointing to some but it isn’t a total deal breaker. Upon holding the headset in my hands for the first time, I was instantly surprised by how light it was. This can be good for prolonged use but it also makes it easier to lose. Donning the headset isn’t hard but the ear-hook can be problematic for eyeglass wearers (the ear-hook is removable so this is really a non-issue). The included rubber earpieces are comfortable and appear to do their job. My only gripe with them is that they’re thin and feel cheaper than those supplied with the WEP410. All and all, a great buy for those who desire a small and discreet headset.

Small is beautiful

Strengths: Good sound quality, 6 designer covers, Bluetooth Range

Weakness: Fitting in ear is a little problem initially, a little uncomfortable

This is better than the Nokia headset i have and hence it becomes primary for me. This Headset works well. I can hear well and others seem to listen my voice better than what was with Nokia. Design is good, looks modern, very small.
Size and weight is good as well. Well it came with the manual but there are no instruction in that to remove pairing with the device its paired, i tried to press the reset button, but it didn't reset, may be there is some other way out.
But overall i am satisfied with quality for the price (after rebate)

Only because it's cheap

Strengths: Lightweight design, cheap, battery charges pretty fast, small

Weakness: skins that have no use, hook that doesn't stay on your ear

I bought this one because I was using a Samsung Cell phone and this headset is fairly cheap. Although the size is very compact and light, it's kind of difficult to get it stay on my ear. And it's not usable in a very noisy environment.

WEP301

Strengths: Battery life, talk time, fidelity are all pretty OK. Very light which is a plus

Weakness: .the ear loop is a thin piece of plastic, and is not adjustable.

the ear loop is a thin piece of plastic, and is not adjustable. It does not latch on to the earpiece very firmly, so it can fall out pretty easily

Works well

Strengths: Cheap, Light weight, Easy to use, Charges quickly, cool skins to dress it up

Weakness: None

Best bluetooth & the best price. I charged it up and started to use it. It fits snug in my ears so I don't have to worry about falling off of my ears or not being able to hear well because it's not too close to my ears. I would definitely recommend it to my friends

WEP-301 Wireless Headset

Strengths: Nice & little, Attractive

Weakness: Looks Cheap

I got this as a replacement for my Motorola. Compared to that it has only less talk time but looks simple and neat. Less weight is an added advantage. Highly recommended for the price. Cheap and good.

Samsung WEP301 Bluetooth Headset

Strengths: cover options

Weakness: lacks background noise filter

This unit works fine as advertised. Sound quality if good. The fit is comfortable, size is very compact and light. Works fine with the windows closed and radio volume on low. Fits comfortable over the ear, even with sunglasses.
Cons: Lacks background noise filter which comes in handy when using this unit is noisy enviroments and when driving in the car with the radio on or windows open.

Worth It!

Strengths: Affordable, compact size, clarity is decent

Weakness: Flimsy earhook, low talk time

Brought this headset as a spare for my Motorola HS850 in case I forget to charge it. The clarity is good considering for the low price of thirty bucks with a twenty dollar rebate from Samsung. I wish the battery would last long because with only five hour talk time you have to constantly recharge it. Watch out for counterfeits and make sure to buy from reputable retailers.
