Samsung Brings Stereo Bluetooth Headset to the Audio Starved– WEP870
I like to listen to music whenever I can — and to do so wirelessly is my favorite way. I am always looking for a good Bluetooth stereo headset that can be used for both listening to music and for hands-free phone calls. Samsung has just released a headset that does both, and it looks pretty good. The WEP870 headset consists of earbuds to provide a good listening experience, and is coupled with dual microphones for phone call use.
The WEP870 looks to be light and comfortable, and with the dual microphones for noise cancellation, it should be good for phone use. The audio fades when a phone call is received, and comes back when the call ends, according to Samsung. $90.

Thanks for the post.. I just ordered it from Samsung’s website. Have been looking for a stereo bluetooth headset for a few weeks now. Really just looking for something without wires.. almost bought the Sennheiser ones for $400 but read that they aren’t bluetooth and don’t have a mic. Unfortunately will have to upgrade the software in my ipod touch to be able to use them effectively…

Unfortunately stereo mode is only one way – playback. If you want to use the microphone then it will switch to a crappy narrowband mode, as usual.
