"Very frustrating to use..."
Pros: small size, sleek and unobtrusive look
Cons: poor fit in the ear, poor sound quality, terrible ergonomics
Summary: I bought the Samsung WEP500 at my local ATT store for $99 (with a $30 mail-in rebate, for a total of $69). I loved the look of the headset, and had high hopes for it's performance. I was looking for something approximating the performance of the Jawbone headset I own, but without the bulk. I should mention that I've gone through about 12 different headsets over the last couple of years, and so far the Jawbone has been the best performing (but least comfortable) unit I've owned (followed closely by the Jabra BT250V - more comfy but less of a performer).
Well, I'm not sure what the good people at CNET saw in the WEP500, but within 4 hours I returned it. It seemed that the DSP functionality was better at screening out my voice than surrounding noise. The center location of the multifunction button virtually guaranteed that I was going to redial my last caller, which I did an embarrassing 6 times! If Samsung could eliminate the "quick touch redial" feature of the multifunction button, it would be a great improvement. Unfortunately they would also have to work on the noise-reductionfunction as well. Keeping it in my ear (regardless of which eargel I used) was the straw that broke this users back.
In summary, as attractive as this unit was, I found it simply impossible to use.
