wait, so... this is essentially just $5? $20 - $20 MIR??

urrr??

How comfortable is this for long-term use?

3.5 rating average on Alatest.

Beware, I've bought Samsungs before and the earloops always break.

The manufacturer's page

So... it only costs $5 in the end for shipping? How "nice" is samsung with honoring their rebates?

How reliable is the listed battery life? About as reliable as when they tell me my cell phone can last 12 days in standby but I can't make it through even two?

Mmmmm, rebate must be postmarked within 30 days of sale. Smartpost, mmmmm.

No quicker way to look like a complete tool than to walk around wearing one of these outside of an actual call center environment.

Does it get pretty good reception?

Can this work w/ PS3?

Is this MIR good for all three if i buy three, or is it one per household like most of them are?

If this thing is only 5 bucks I might have to bite. I sure hope I am reading this right.

This is $5 after the rebate.

says three per household

If only it charged with USB Mini-B 4 prong like the Jabras, and I could sell my 1200 car chargers...

Ive used one very similar to this but with two less buttons and they are comfortable for short term use but after awhile your ear will get sore and you will have to switch ears. The plastic ear loop is also very fragile, be careful when taking it off or it may snap.

Thanks woot, bought 3! One for me and 2 Christmas gifts. I brought a BT headset to a "Dirty Santa" thing last year and it got traded around like crazy.

Can't beat this really, the MIR is awesome. Been looking for a good Bluetooth headset deal for when I buy Uncharted 2, and glad I found it here.

Yes, I use a similar Samsung model with my ps3 and it works just fine.

Here's an editor's review from cnet. Looks decent, really. And the "free after rebate less shipping" thing isn't bad at all. I'm tempted.

rebate says 3 per household, so I'm in for 3! Had to pay sales tax, but no shipping!

why am i getting the feeling that even for five dollars, if in fact that is what it winds up to be, it still won't be worth it.

Does this work with the original iPhone?

Can you use two of these to get stereo out of an original iPhone (or a 3G)?

I bought 2 Samsung Bluetooth's last Black Friday that had mail-in rebates. They worked fine, we got $20 back although it took a while.

Will this make me look insane, as though I am talking to myself, when I make calls?

With the rebate going, I'll buy one for each car! no more tickets for me!!

Ooh, how thoughtful of Woot.

I'm in for two, I figure I can have one for the PS3 and I'm tired of having the touchscreen of my phone touching my face. And I can just use the 20 dollar visa cards from the rebate as stocking stuffers.

$20 Visa gift card? Why can't they just mail a check? I know it is the same in the long run but that always bothered me for some reason.

In the description text it says 3 per household limit. Take all rebates with a huge pile of salt. They count on not honoring them to make money.

I'm in for 3. Why not???

Does this work with Skype?

Because they can always use a few pennies not being used after you attempt to use all the money from the card.

In other words, IT'S A TRAP

They're easier to lose and people usually leave a balance on them (few dollars or cents, adds up to alot as a whole).

It should, provided you can make the headset work with your computer.
