True for many Dutch websites.
But in this particular case, I can return the Bluetooth headset to Lidl, within 2 weeks, with or without packaging, and get my money back. No reason required.

Let's hope we're both satisfied with our purchase. I'll be back here on Monday.

... with your new silvercrest bluetooth headset? Hope you like it, they usually sell good stuff at Lidl and have had no problems bringing stuff back to them that I didn't like.... but they're German, so maybe that's why?

I'll be curious to hear your opinions on the headset. The "Abe" headset has been dispatched, should be with me somewhere next week (depending on the mail, service has been crap here lately

). Will write a review when it gets here

Well, I've got the Silvercrest HS 2700BT Bluetooth headset now. Available from Lidl for EUR 44,99 .

First impression: looks good, no cheap build.
With only 13 grams, including battery, it weighs even less than the Bluespoon headsets. It fits perfectly and after I while I forgot I'm still wearing it.

Sound quality is good, though the volume is by default too low. I haven't figured out how to set the default volume louder. The highest volume is definitely loud, so in-car use is no problem.

The microphone is good and the amount of background noise is very low. The recording is a bit soft though. Should have been louder, I think, but no people have complained yet about not being able to understand me.

When my body is in between the headset and my P800, there are some digital cracks. When I put my p800 in my other pocket it is no problem.

I haven't tested standby time and talk time yet. The manual says 100 hours standby, 4.5 hours talk time. When this will turn out not to be true, I'll report it here.

And now for the big drawback, which disappointed me really:
In combination with the SE P800 and P900 some functions on the headset do NOT work:

- Reject a call
- Switch call from headset to phone
- Voice dailling
- Repeat dial number

With other phones these functions DO work. I don't know why, but there seems to be an incompatibility with Symbian phones?
For P800/P900 users this would be a good reason not to purchase this headset.

All in all, good value for money, if you don't own a P800 / P900.

Hi Gaston, thanks for the excellent review. 13 grams is practically nothing indeed. I'm glad I didn't get it now, because i wouldn't like to miss voice dialling with my P800, very strange it doesn't work though :s

I'm extremely curious to find out how my "Abe" headset will perform, will keep you posted.

Actual standby time of the Silvercrest headset turned out to be 130 hours (including some 20 minutes of use).

Bas, how is your Abe headset?

Hi again. The Abe headset is perfect for me. Although there is a noticable hissing noise when making a call (I don't know if that's normal for BT headsets), but since I hardly ever make long phonecalls with the headset it is not a problem. I find it quite comfortable to wear, although it is of course not as light as some other headsets, including your Silvercrest, but at EUR26, I can't really complain. I saw the silvercrest headset on display at Lidl and I have to agree with you that it does look rather well built, if I hadn't bought the Abe set, i'd have definately bought the Silvercrest.

More reviews on the Abe set can be found in this thread:

Hi,
Despite full auto voice control, at £22.99 the Silvercrest works fine for me!, but does anyone know whether the T610 should switch profiles when the headset is connected?
