Bluetooth Ear Loop Repair

Posted: 10.27.2006 in Technical

I have had my bluetooth headset for about five months now. While I still rag on people who wear them all of the time, I have to admit that I love this technology. My only other complaint so far centers on the Samsung headset that I bought to go with my same brand A900 phone. The ear loop on the WEP150 is small, making it uncomfortable to wear for extended periods.

I suspect that it fell out on the floor while I was digging for change for the vending machines. I thought about rigging it with a pipe cleaner, but those are a little too flexible. Instead, I took a paper clip and bent it with some needle-nosed pliers. Not only does it work, but it is also more comfy now!

  2. I tried, but how do you prevent the clip from rotating loosely at the connection point with the headset ?
