The good: The Samsung WEP 350 is a superslim and stylish headset that's affordable and easy to use.

The bad: The Samsung WEP 350 has only average call quality, with some background static and a lack of noise cancellation.

The bottom line: The Samsung WEP 350 is a simple and affordable Bluetooth headset.

Review:

Along with making attractive high-end phones such as the Instinct and the Access, Samsung also produces a line of affordable Bluetooth headsets to match these handsets. One of its most recent models is the Samsung WEP 350, which it purports to be one of the world's thinnest headsets. It's also lightweight, easy to use, and affordable at just $59.99.

Measuring about 1.9 inches long by 0.6 inch wide by barely 0.2 inch thick, the WEP350 is definitely one of the thinnest headsets we've ever seen. It has a very slim and discreet profile, ... Expand full review

Along with making attractive high-end phones such as the Instinct and the Access, Samsung also produces a line of affordable Bluetooth headsets to match these handsets. One of its most recent models is the Samsung WEP 350, which it purports to be one of the world's thinnest headsets. It's also lightweight, easy to use, and affordable at just $59.99.

Measuring about 1.9 inches long by 0.6 inch wide by barely 0.2 inch thick, the WEP350 is definitely one of the thinnest headsets we've ever seen. It has a very slim and discreet profile, which is great for those who eschew the telemarketer look most headsets have. The WEP350 has a simple, flat stick design, with a multifunction button in the middle, and volume buttons on either side--the volume increase is on the left spine while the volume decrease is on the right. The multifunction button is raised above the surface, so it's easy to press, even when worn on the ear. The two volume buttons are quite skinny, but they, too, are easy to access because of a raised texture. Right above the multifunction button is a small LED indicator light.

Turn the headset around and you'll find a typical in-ear style earbud. Even though you can wear the headset without an ear hook, we recommend you use the in-ear hook anyway for additional stability. The hook can be rotated to fit either ear. It's also very flexible and thin, which made it easier to wear with glasses. The earpiece fits comfortably in the ear and can be easily sized in a matter of seconds. The WEP350 comes with two additional earbud covers in different sizes.

"Buy extra ear hooks" By uncosito

Pros: Small size. Good talk time

Cons: Ear hook is too fragile. Low volume.

Summary: The headset is comfortable to wear, but i find it difficult to hear even with the volume at it's maximum level. Sound quality is average. The real downfall is the ear hook which broke off in a matter of months. Replacements can be purchased from Samsung in packs of ... Expand full review

"The headset as si works fine." By chetaah

Pros: Sometimes I get some interference when I place the phone inside my jeans pockets so I have to take it out. But most of the times works fine.

Cons: The ear hook is the worst, it is made from hard plastic, I had 2 of them, and after a week or less than a week of use, both of them broke, they should make them from a different material.
