I have a test question for you. I finally received my Samsung, bluetooth headset and charger yesterday through RoyalMail in England. Here's the question: What should I have considered when I was purchasing this item? It has nothing to do with delivery. Hint: I'm here in the states.

Roger I know your powers of deduction are second to only Sherlock Holmes and harry you're from England so you should know.

My guess - The voltage of the charger and/or the configuration of the plug e.g UK 3 Pins v USA 2 Pins

Yes, it is the pins. The adapter kit I had was to use U.S. products in other countries. I had to buy one that was truly universal.

My guess would have been that it speak American English rather than British English.:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Actually, this headset allows you to change the language.

Glad to hear that you've got a "Plan B" in the works! :thumbup:

A few things on power supplies, I'm from England and my wife is from Japan, so we have a ole mixed bag of electronics.

Always read the power supply most, but not all will handle multiple voltage, 100~240volt, that way you can just change the plug.

Check the unit it plugs into there normally 5~12volt, as long as you have the right plug polarity you can use a local power adaptor.

I would have thought the head set would be a 5 volt unit able to charge via a USB adaptor.

Worse case is buying a 220/240 volt to 110 step down adaptor $13. LINK

Of course blu-ray and DVD are a different system PAL than we use here, there are ways around this two.

Question: We all the bluetooth equipment sold in the states what was so special about the one in the UK that made you order from there.

I had a Sony bluetooth with integrated headphones and one earbud stopped working. The Samsung bluetooth headset has a 3.5mm connection for the ear phones. Since I'll just be using it with my gps and I have a Scala Q2, which won't pair with my Garmin 765T, I'll just plug from the Samsung to the Scala and listen through the Scala headphones. I had googled before purchasing and found only one other bluetooth headset, without integrated headphones, and it was from Jabra, I believe, and didn't get very good reviews.

I had adapters already; but, like I said they were only for using on what I would call U.S. products in other countries. I checked the internet for adapters; but, the descriptions I found were not very clear as to whether they were truly universal; in other words I didn't want to end up with the type adapters I already had. So, I purchased a universal adapter from Best Buy and it works fine.
