LG Tone - HBS-700 Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset - Retail Packaging - Black/Orange

great headset but, after 7 months of use I realized the sound had degraded to a point where one channel was noticeably weaker.
After taken off the rubber ear buds there was a built up of crud, dust etc. ( i use these daily on constructions sites) after gently cleaning with an old toothbrush these were back to new.
Highly recommended.

Pros:
- Lightweight, intuitive design. Probably the best wireless, in-ear design on the market today. No heavy plastic or bulky casing that weighs you down in the back. The neckstrap is surprisingly comfortable and doesn't interfere with whatever you're doing. Controls can be reached easily, and response time is excellent (no wireless lag). There are also magnets that hold the earbuds firmly in place when not in use - a very nice touch to the device.
- Great audio quality. It's better than the pair of wired Sony earbuds I have. It doesn't match up to the audio quality of other wired headphones like the Bose IE2 or B&W C5, but those are very high-end headphones, so that's to be expected.
- Simple, intuitive setup, especially if you have an iMac/Macbook. The Bluetooth process could not be simpler.
- Respectable battery life. I listen to music everyday for a couple hours and so far I've only had to charge it every other day. That's not bad, considering how small the battery is.
- Range of features. SMS Reading, vibrating call alert, automatic reconnect, etc. - I don't use these features but they're nice to have.
- Clean packaging design. Not that this matters to most people, but being an industrial design, I enjoyed the simplicity and how easy it was to remove the headphones from the packaging. No unnecessary foam, tape, paper, books, or plastic wrap that typically plagues most other brands.

Cons:
- Wire wrapping. Standard wired headphones have wires that drop downward from your ears, connect in a V-shape into a single cord, which in turn, connects to your device. For the LG Tone, the wires that connect the earbuds to the neckstrap are looped in a strange way. This makes them flair outwards so it's a bit strange if you look in the mirror. I don't understand why the cord can't just go from your earbud straight down instead of passing it through a rubber holder.
- Earbuds. They could be a tad more comfortable and a bit harder to pop off from your ears. Not too big an issue though, just being critical here.

I agree with the other reviewer that low frequencies are weak and that's about the only weakness I can think of, but compared to anything else on the market these are probably the best deal and look. I use them in the gym, at home, for skype, voice calls, everything and I have been very happy with them so far. Battery is quite decent, 8-10 hours sounds about right. I highly recommend these.
