Samsung and B&O at it again with the WEP 420 Bluetooth headset

The team of Samsung and Bang & Olufsen have returned with new product in hopes of finally demonstrating their combined design chops. Having failed to win us, or the public at large over with their Serene (aka, SGH-E910), the duo has returned with the WEP 420 "high class" Bluetooth headset. A sliding cover on the headset offers a clean, button-hiding design while helping to "block static." The cradle, which of course, charges the headset when not in use can also be "used an interior decoration item" which is... uh, huh? Available in March for an undisclosed price.

How is that Fugly? It's similar in shape to most headsets out there right now. I do like the more refined look of this one though, that silver cover does look nice! Hopefully it comes in at an affordable price, unlike the last B&O headset :(

So every headset is Fugly because they share similar designs? I'd hate to see what you think of furniture, cars, houses, buildings, art.. hmm.. anything really.

Beautiful. The lovely Serene flopped maybe also because of its unconventional design, now this is conventional and people don't like it because of its conventional design. Funny.
I don't think it's that conventional, it still looks like something that B&O would design. Very stylish.

Being different for being differents sake is foolish.
