Amazon.com has the Samsung WEP-200 Bluetooth Headset for $45 with free shipping. This is one of the more diminutive headsets currently available, with an earpiece that secures itself in your ear canal.
Awesome find. I was at a Sprint store on Monday and they had these same ones, just in white for $90! This is half the price! Green for you. Might be in for one...
I bought one on eBay for $27 (shipped from HK). If I remember to, once I receive it I will post back with a review on quality, and whether it's fake or not. Hopefully it's not! If they even make fakes. I heard that the Jabra JX10 model has fakes, so you never know:
Scoop23 said: How does this compare to the plantronics 510? It's also $45 on Amazon.I'd be interested to know as well. My wife has been happy with the 510 overall and so I ordered one for myself (in transit). The 510 is very comfortable to wear, offers clear sound transmission (I can't tell when speaking with my wife over the phone if she's using the headset) and has a good battery life for occasional use.
I just checked that eBay prices for WEP200 are below $30 (including shipping). Is the Amazon $45 price really a good deal?
dont buy from eBay, i had theh fake wep100. i can tell by the manual and the quality.

Are you serious???
Ah, man, I just ordered one from the eBay for my dad. He sais his co-worker just got one and the quality is so much better than the jabra one he currently has. So, I went online, did little shopping for dad, and got him this one for little bit less than $30. I will be disapointed. Darn......

Yep, they make fakes in this model too, they are all over eBay, of which, 98% are fake.. Just look for the obvious signs when you get it..I bought a Fake Motorola H3, knowing it was fake, and i am very happy with it, and saved alot of money... But....

there is something about Hong Kong sellers with much lower prices than most street prices in US.

Yeah, because they are selling fakes.... I was just reading that they are even faking a few models of Motorola Cell phones too... Amazing.
Also, some of these fake Headsets and Phones are actually being bought and sold by major retailers, unkowingly.

Well I just bought one from Hong Kong for $30. It looks legit, and it comes in the box. Well these things are made there, so why wouldnt they be cheaper?
Do not waste your money on it. I bought 4 Motorola H3's and 1 WEP200 and they all sounded like siht.
I bought a Motorola H3 from a local store and it was awesome. Yeah, the overseas ones look like the same and may even have same packaging, but they are extremely low quality.
I would jump on it if the battery life is better since the Jabra JX-10 turned out to be a fake.

they even make fake bmw x5. my friend sent me a video. only the badge is not there. visually it looks like a 99% match(only seen the exterior). i would never guess.
Couple years ago I read an articel in Business Week magazine that in China they even sell Yamaha fakes. They had a fron-page article on it....

I bought the fake Jabra JX-10 through graveyardmall.com last week. No way you could even tell, they are that good. Quality sucks though, so that was a giveaway. They are refunding my money though -- so now I realize, I will never buy cell phones or cell phone accessories through eBay anymore.

Maybe the Business Week you read was also fake, along with all of the articles in it... sometimes you never know.

BTW, I just got my Samsung WEP200 and it is definitely a fake (ordered from eBay). There's a hologram sticker on the outside of the box that says "Samsing Original". What a joke! It does indeed work and it looks pretty real but the quality certainly sucks... it's not very loud and the listener on the other end says my voice is really soft. It also gets static-y pretty easily. I tried this with both my Samsung a900 and my blackberry.

That is probably the blender I sent back. Make sure it does not smell like curry.

I just received my order from Shentech and it is a "real" Samsung but it does not have a serial number and a manufacturers seal on the box, although the box is identical to the one I saw at the T-Mobile store. All three of the earpieces are the same size which is unfortunate for me because I do need a smaller size.
The latch on the charging case broke the first time I opened it so I called Shentech and they are sending me a replacement. Hopefully the replacement will open easy and the charger plug fits securely.
