Best bluetooth i have ever had

This is truly the BEST headset I have ever had...In fact I justified buying a 2nd one so I am never without it. The sound is so crystal clear, better than my handset, and super comfortable. If I am awake and functioning it is in my ear. Don't know how I ever lived without it...Now I just need a home cordless phone that is compatible with it. Now if I can just stop scaring strangers(who don't see my bluetooth) into believing I am not actually insane and not talking to myself...;)
I have been using this unit now for about 8 or nine months and found it to be very economically priced and a very good value for the money. It works excellently with my Blackberry Torch, is lightweight and fits the ear perfectly. The sound quality is excellent and the auto volume feature is great! It pairs easily and turns on and off in a plain vanilla fashion with just a slide(on) and slide(off) switch( no holding down a button and waiting for lights to flash). Talk in a normal voice and your caller can hear you even in the noisiest places. Volume control is placed opposite on/off toggle and is very easy to feel and use(no disconnecting yourself by accident). It's flashing blue LED is in no way distracting and doubles as a Battery indicator/charge indicator. It is compatible with all voice activated commands on my Blackberry( and other phones I'm sure). The only negative about it is the flimsy earclip. They have a tendency to break at the attach point. The unit comes with a spare one but when that breaks they seem to be available on Samsung's web site. Minor thing when you view the quality of this unit.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: flimsy ear clip
I would recommend this to a friend!

great cheap headset

The earpeice is very easy to use. It has a power switch instead of a power button so you can put it in your pocket without turning it on and calling someone. This earpeice fits nice in your ear, and includes extra ear gels and hooks incase you lose or break them.
However, a month after i owned it, the wires that go to the speaker broke. I was able to send it back and get it replaced. :)
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, fits nicely, power switch, micro usb charger, 6hr battery, left or right ear
I would recommend this to a friend!

dont waste your money

while this is a good bluetooth its not worth the money the charge because the earloop (the piece that goes around your ear) is cheesy it is made of hard plastic and breaks easy and if you brought it from your cell phone company they will want you to buy a whole new bluetooth just to get the earloop. and samsung is not much better they will charge you lunch money for the exact piece that just broke and they know it cheap and will break again. so save you self the headache dont buy this product it not worth the money you pay or the money you will have to keep spending to use it .
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, you will keep on paying for it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
