Three fresh Bluetooth headsets are on the way from Samsung: the WEP850, WEP870, and WEP470. The first on the left, the WEP870, is a compact mono headset that can be connected with a stereo earbud if you’re listening to music rather than taking calls, and can pair up with two devices simultaneously for those packing a utility belt-worth of phones. It’ll be going for $89.99. The middle headset, the WEP850, focuses primarily on noise cancellation, and runs for $69.99. Not bad if you’re looking for something a little sleeker. Finally, the WEP470 is more basic at the $39.99 price point, but emulates dual-microphone noise cancellation through some black magic they call “packet loss concealment”. If you’re interested in taking a closer look at any of the above, or even picking one up, there’s more info at Samsung’s accessories site.
