Default Highly Recommend LG HBS-700 BT Headset

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to share my experience regarding these bad boys. BUY IT!!!

I have nothing but bad luck with BT headsets. Everytime I buy one, I return it.

But... with the LG HBS-700 my luck just changed. Let me tell you it works unbelievable good with the Prime and cellphone together. It has BT 2.1 with multiconnection capabilities so you can have your tablet and cellphone paired/connected at the same time. So if you are listening music or watching a movie and get a phone call the sound from the tablet will go down while you take the call.

The sound quality is amazing and also excellent call sound. I received great feedback from several callers, they all told me my voice was crystal clear.

So there you have it in case you were looking for a BT device that works

LG Tone (HBS-700) Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset - $55.00

I replied over at transformer forums but I'll just put this here too. I have to agree with you, these are the best I've tried. As far as the comfort, they are almost too comfortable. I work in a refinery, I'm not supposed to carry anything outside that is not intrinsically safe. I kept going out to make my rounds with these still hanging around my neck. I wouldn't realize it until I sat down again to watch a movie and couldn't find them on my desk. I actually bought a Sony Bluetooth receiver just so I would have to take it off before going outside. The Sony had great sound but was too hard to connect compared to my LG, and I can't get used to the Sony hanging off my chest so it's just going to collect dust on my desk.

DONATE TO ME
i bought a pair of these back in november 2011 on a whim. they are amazing. superb quality sound (for earbuds at least), great battery life. super easy to pair (i use with my phone and a bt transmitter on my ipod, soon will be using on my new transformer prime). HIGHLY recommend them. i get a lot of comments about them, confused people who have never seen headphones like this. they are super comfortable to wear too (i forget i have them on a lot of times). WELL worth the money

Holy **** I didn't even know headsets could multiconnect O.o 55 bones too? Pretty badass.

I'm currently using a Phillips Bluetooth set that is very comfy but the sound could be much better. I originally got them for my phone for walks in very hot Arizona. They do well with sweat so they serve their purpose. Paid 70 for them tho.

I just ordered mine from Amazon. Thanks OP, I was looking for a good BT headset for a long time and could not settle on one. My wife bought one of the Motorola S10 headsets, but I did not like how they felt. Hopefully, this headset works for me.

Lol I should get paid by LG hehehe.

I bought the S10's as well and returned them. I just didn't like them, they worked fine but very uncomfortable.

So you will be happy with the HBS-700

What sucks is I can't stick anything in my ears. Bothers me too much. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect headphone/headset. Right now I'm stuck using a wired model. And the Sennheiser bluetooth models are sooooo expensive. $300???




I am on my 5th Transformer Prime.

Do they work well for listening to audio AND browsing the net? I know the prime has a wifi/bt issue, so it would he interesting if these worked with no issues. Also, are the tips foam or rubber? I am a big fan of the JVC marshmallow series because they in early pieces are foam and not rubber. I feel they create a more solid experience because they fill out the cavities in your ear, much like the cheaper ear protection you can buy that are just foam pieces.

It may be an oversight on my part, but I didn't see anything about it in the thread. Feel free to flame should I have missed something.

I must say I picked up a pair of these after reading the thread, and they are fantastic with my GS2...

... however when I try to pair with the Prime it keeps failing to pair saying "incorrect pin / passcode" and then it won't connect.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or have a solution for me?
