Customer Reviews

Basically any Bluetooth headset will sound good in a quiet room when close to the phone. The true test of a Bluetooth headset is how it performs walking down a busy city street. Can you hear the other person? Perhaps more importantly, can the other person hear you? How does it deal with wind? Can you carry on a conversation without shouting and straining to hear? Does the other party get upset with the voice quality, and continually ask you to repeat yourself?
This headset fails all of the above tests. Sure, it sounds fine when you are trying to make phone calls in a sealed, noiseless environment. But when put to the test against crowd noise, traffic noise, foot noise, and wind, it just doesn't meet expectations.
I have used several Bluetooth headsets in the past, and all of them have exceeded this headset's abilities. My Jawbone was fantastic at noise cancellation, as expected. The Plantronics was an MVP, performing admirably in all of the major tasks. Even my Jabra headset handled things better than I would have expected.
So yes, I have high expectations. And the Samsung just didn't meet them. I cannot maintain a comfortable conversation with somebody while walking down the street. Indeed, I find myself turning the headset off and simply using the phone itself - much to the delight of my conversation partners on the other end of the line. General rule of thumb: if you continually feel compelled to turn the headset off and use the phone, the headset is a failure.
Moreover, it is fairly crackly when on the opposite side of the body as the phone - when in my right ear, with the phone in my left suit pocket, it gives me lots of pops. Worse, it loses its connection to the phone on a regular basis. None of my other headsets have struggled to maintain their connections; this Samsung drops it all the time. If I have to go through menus and settings to repair the device almost every time I want to use it, it is basically worthless to me.
The only real positive is that the stereo headphones sound pretty good. The in-ear style earbuds provide a nice resonant bass when fully inserted. And it is nice to be able to listen to music on my iPhone without a tangle of cords getting in the way.
But as a device to help you handle phone calls, I simply cannot recommend it.

I already had a Plantronics bluetooth earpiece and often thought "it would be neat to have a stereo bluetooth headset for music, I wonder if they make those?" And it turns out, they do.
The real advantage of this is the ability to leave your phone on the charger while you listen to music on the headset -- you don't have to be tethered to a wall socket. I say "the room" because the range is only about 30 feet, so you won't be wandering all around your house and yard, but you can certainly meander around a hotel room or your living room/kitchen, listening to music while your phone charges.
Although it comes with stereo headphones, you don't need to use theirs if you don't want to -- it takes a standard plug so any regular headphones will work.
The one big detraction, though, and why I can't really give it more than 3 stars overall, is its tendency to disconnect. I never have this problem with my Plantronics, so I don't think it's me, and I've never had it disconnect in the middle of a call, but every time I go to use it, it has disconnected itself for no apparent reason and I have to switch it off and back on, and sometimes that doesn't work -- it'll say "Connected!" and then immediately "Disconnected" and I have to cycle it again.
So will I use it as a bluetooth earpiece for the phone? Not really, no. It's just never ready and connected when I need it to be. But I have no complaints about it as a stereo headset for music.
