Strengths:	Small size, doesn't look like a Borg appendage, light weight, no uncomfortable earhook, decent battery life
Weaknesses:	Bluetooth still sounds crappy, small size means easy to lose, sometimes falls out of ear unexpectedly, stupidly easy to accidentally redial numbers

Full User Summary
This was an upgrade from a WEP200. I immediately hated the fact that the all-too-easily pushed button on the WEP500 did not default to the voice prompt menu, like the WEP200; instead it will redial the last number called. Simply removing the WEP500 from your ear can easily result in an accidental push of that button, and a slightly embarrassing unintended call. Putting it in your shirt pocked with it still turned on can result in repeated accidental calls. (To get to the voice command menu with the WEP500, you have to hold the button down until you hear a single tone). And although the in-canal earpiece is acceptably comfortable, it can gradually ease itself out, suddenly dropping to the floor.

I bought this to comply with the new law in California requiring that cell phone calls be made handsfree. I suppose it is sufficient for that purpose, as long as the air conditioning or vent is turned off. But I also tried using it while walking down the street in San Francisco, and it was completely unusable. The person on the other end couldn't hear anything except wind noise.

Strengths:	Tiny size; light weight; effective noise cancelling with two microphones.
Weaknesses:	Fall off easily; only 3.5 hrs of talk time per full charge.

Samsung WEP500 is impressive with its noise-reduction and echo-cancellation technologies. Its automatic volume control adjusts the volume to make up for changes in background noise to improve call quality. I also like its tiny size and very light weight. However, it falls off easily from your ear without the optional thin loop hanger over your ear. Since the headset is almost round shape, its charger cradle/case is somewhat cumbersome for a portable device. It will take sometime to get used to the button placement at the top which may cause many accidental calls for just adjusting the headset. In general, this could be one of the best bluetooth headset on the market as of this review for its sound quality and minuscule size.

Strengths:	Small size, great look, cool headset cradle, sound and reception are very good, included ear hook and many earpieces for different size ear
Weaknesses:	Bad placement for the multi-functional button, no auto-answer feature, disappointing battery time

Full User Summary
Most of the bluetooth headset are pretty big, so having a small bluetooth headset like the WEP-500 is pretty unique. It included an optional earhook for use if the headset doesn't secure properly on the ear. Sound and reception is top notch for me. People on the other end can hear my voice clearly despite the small size.One thing I don't like is the multi-functional button. They should have made the button in the middle of the ear piece instead of the top. You can accidentally press the button if you're trying to adjust the earpiece, and it's extremely inconvenient when you want to press the button. The lack of an auto-answer feature is disappointment because not all cellphone have the feature. The battery time is pretty short, but it's manageable.It's a good piece of headset, and they recently offered a 30.00 rebate. All in all, worth every penny.

Sound quality on the receiving end is fine and clear, and the sound on the other end of the line is OK though hollow at times. Main complaint is the multifunction button; when turning off unit often activated redial last number function. Also button is very sensitive and easy to activate when trying to reposition unit while in ear. Good price with rebate.
