REVIEW: Samsung Bluetooth Wireless Headset WEP150

Geeks.com send us over the Samsung Bluetooth Wireless Headset WEP150. Read on for a quick review of the product.

The WEP150 is a Bluetooth 1.1 headset and supports both the handsfree (HFP) and headset (HSP) profiles. It has a small size, it's solid and it has three buttons: an on/off button and a volume-up and volume-down rocker button. You can very easily adjust the headset to be worn on either the left or right ear. We found the WEP150 to be grabbing the ear well and be very steady when moving around. Not once the headest fell off.

It comes with a wall charger (which has a very small size so you can easily have it with you when travelling) and a starter guide. Charging the headest for the first time it will take about 2 hours to do so. Then, pairing it with either a cellphone or a Windows PC that supports these profiles is an easy job: you keep pressing the power button for more than 5 seconds and then the device goes automatically to "pairing mode".

When used with a cellphone that supports the handsfree profile you get extra features: call reject, last number dialed, call waiting, put on hold. In addition to hungup/receive you can also do voice dial.

The device has a flash indicator when you are close to run out of battery: the color gets red and you get a beep every 5 seconds. We found the battery life extremely good: it managed over 7 hours of talk and about 170 hours of standby. As good was also its (mono) sound quality and our voice sent over via the built-in microphone. As for reception, it was within the acceptable borders of 7 meters (with no walls in between).

Overall, we found this product to worth its price, we have no major complaints except maybe that it would be nice to also include a USB charging cable.
