Just as with cell phones, Samsung makes Bluetooth headsets for every budget, from the high-end to the low-end. The Samsung WEP470 is certainly one of the latter, but that doesn't mean it's not a decent headset. It has noise-canceling capabilities, automatic volume control, and it's comfortable, as well. The WEP470 is also quite affordable at only $39.95 retail.
The Samsung WEP470 is a cheap headset and it makes no pretensions otherwise. Measuring just 1.7 inches long by 0.75 inch wide by 0.43 inch thick, the WEP470 is blocky and rectangular and won't call too much attention to itself thanks to its size and dull looks. Right on the front of the headset is the multifunction call button. It sits just above a thin line that houses the LED indicator. The button is big enough and is easy to press. The volume rocker is on the left side while the charger jack and power switch are on the right. The dedicated power toggle makes it easier to power the headset on and off, instead of having to hold down the multifunction button like on most other headsets.
When you turn the headset over, you'll find a simple, small earpiece that sits just at the opening of the ear. There's a rubber coating around it so it feels comfortable. We would have appreciated different sizes of ear bud covers for different-size ears. Even though the Samsung WEP470 does fit comfortably, it doesn't feel very secure. We definitely recommend using the included optional ear hook for additional stability.
