SAMSUNG MOBILE INTRODUCES A NEW TRIO OF BLUETOOTH HEADSETS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT T-MOBILE

The addition of the HM3700, HS3000 and HM1700 to Samsung’s 2011 Bluetooth portfolio brings even more enhanced features, streamlined form factors and affordable price points



DALLAS, June 16, 2011 – Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), the No.1 mobile phone provider in the United States1, today announced the availability of three unique Bluetooth® headset offerings – the HM3700, HS3000 and HM1700 – available at Samsung.com, T-Mobile retail locations and at www.T-Mobile.com.



HM3700 – A Dual Headset Offering Android Support in a Streamlined Form Factor

The HM3700 dual Bluetooth headset packs a comprehensive, upper-tier feature set into a tight, streamlined form factor. Like the existing Samsung Modus line of headsets, the HM3700 is designed for consumers looking for a conventional noise-cancelling Bluetooth headset with the ability to stream stereo audio. While it can be worn as a mono-style headset for placing and receiving calls, the stereo-convertible HM3700 readily transforms into a stereo Bluetooth headset when connected to its included premium stereo ear buds.



Rather than simple voice prompts, the HM3700 also allows users to implement voice commands to answer and make calls. Topping off its impressive feature set with dual-mic noise and echo cancellation, multipoint technology and active pairing, the HM3700 is also fully compatible with Samsung’s own specially-designed Android application, Samsung FreeSync – equipped with several features that set it apart from other applications, including LED settings and language selection.



The FreeSync application allows for text-to-speech messaging and caller ID services and the ability to enable or disable Bluetooth headset functions through the application. Via the FreeSync application, owners of the HM3700 can receive incoming phone calls, SMS messages, email, and appointment notifications through a friendly text to speech interface that personally reads information to you. Additionally, the headset and the app work together to allow for voice command, pairing assist, multiple language support and control of various headset settings.

HS3000 – A Clip-On Stereo Headset for Convenient, On-the-Go Entertainment

The Samsung HS3000 stereo Bluetooth headset is a must-have for those looking for a feature-rich entertainment and communication tool in one. With its convenient clip-on design, premium stereo ear buds, active pairing and multi-connection technology, users can listen to their favorite music on the go from several different devices while also never missing a phone call. The HS3000 also utilizes Sound Alive stereo enhancement technology, single-mic noise cancellation and echo cancellation to deliver superior audio quality and clarity even amid noisy surroundings.



Additionally, the HS3000 utilizes APT-X technology, an optional lossless codec that can be used in the Bluetooth Stereo profile, offering distinctive advantages over standard Bluetooth stereo when paired with an APT-X enabled mobile handset. For example, HS3000 users will experience ultra low latency, eliminating the “lip sync” issue normally seen while attempting to watch a movie via standard Bluetooth stereo codec. When enjoying music on the go, APT-X on the HS3000 will ensure low distortion, pure tonal reproduction and high fidelity frequency response, delivering a lossless transfer of music content over Bluetooth connection.

The HM1700 also features high fidelity media streaming via Mono support, ensuring stereo-quality sound from a traditional mono Bluetooth headset.
