Samsung HS3000 Bluetooth Stereo Headset kit (Black)

The Samsung HS3000 is not so much a stereo Bluetooth headset as it is a stereo Bluetooth pendant. Like the Jabra Clipper, the HS3000 is designed to be clipped on to your shirt, and since it has a 3.5mm headset jack, you can choose to use your own...

The Samsung HS3000 is a small and compact Bluetooth clip with a 3.5mm headset jack so you can use any headphones you wish. It has dedicated controls for music, multipoint connectivity, and three sound mode options. Sound quality is good

The Samsung HS3000's side buttons are on the skinny side

The Samsung HS3000 offers a well-designed stereo Bluetooth solution for those who want the flexibility of using a pair of wired headphones.

Samsung HS3000

This last point is interesting; while Samsung includes a set of in-ear buds with rubber tips, you can actually use any set of wired headphones. The HS3000's main body contains the microphone, not the earbud wires, so you can still make or receive calls...

Well-designed controls and voice prompts. Works with any standard-size 3.5mm headphones in lieu of the bundled stereo earbuds. Good battery life

Mediocre sound quality. Cable thump when walking or exercising

The Samsung HS3000 is a lower cost, unusually flexible stereo Bluetooth headset with well-designed controls, but just average sound quality.

"I bought this for my Samsung Galaxy S2 and I love it."

I bought this so I could use my new phone as an mp3 player while I exercise. Works like a charm and I am very happy.

Clip for attaching to....

Buttons are a bit small

I just bought it, it is vry good for my usage.

It is value for money.

I've purchased this product recently (30-11-2011), after a few days of using it, I am happy and satisfied. Mostly it's because I can listen to music wirelessly (via bluetooth). Battery life is good,for me,coz I only listen to music for (3-4 hrs) use in a

Almost everything I wanted

I would like to see Samsung use a different material for the clip mechanism, even if it is only a more durable plastic.

Good sound, great for calls. The battery lasted 2-3 continuous hours of music playing. Incredible range too. The device would remain connected to my phone even if they were separated by 50+ feet. I sometimes left my phone in the car and walked away...

The clip broke in under a year. The plastic rings holding the clip and spring in place simply disintegrated. That really bummed me out. In all fairness, I kept the BT headset in my pocket all the time and I did drop it more than once. The small volume...

Mic is weak

I would have sent it back for a replacement. Clearly I got a defective one. But dealing with Samsung is a pain in the rear. Bottom line though, the headphone part works well. And this works with my Toshiba Thrive Tablets bluetooth and my cell phone. So...

Good sound and holds the charge for at least 3 to 4 hrs. Got it when newegg had a sale on this with free s&h for under 30 bucks. Thanks NE. The included headphones aren't that good. But I got this Item#: N82E16826262268 JVC HA-FX5-A 3.5mm Connector...

No one can hear me if I try to talk with this. Supposed to be barely audible. Fortunately when a call comes in I can change to headset mode on my phone. Still my old Samsung 3700 has no such problems. The provided headphones are really bad. No bass no...

Best Blue Tooth Device Yet!

I have purchased many blue tooth devices over the years only to be disappointed... Not this TIME! These are the best sounding clearest signal I have yet heard! Sounds as good as wired... The most versatile because you can use any type of headphones you...

Great Clear Crisp Sound! Not like other blue tooth devices I have had over the years and there has been many. I almost gave up on the technology until I decided to try these and now i'm convinced you can get great sound from a blue tooth device. This...

Not recommended to have the device charging (per instructions) while using the device. Too bad I would buy one and permanently leave it on my car all the time for hands free calls and music without the fuss of charging it, it would be nice just to...
