Very Good Sound Quality, Ease Of Use, And Comfort,
The LG HBS-700 is the third Bluetooth stereo headset that I have used (see my reviews of the Motorola S10-HD and Jabra CLIPPER). As in my other reviews I will focus on the music experience as I use my Motorola T305 for hands free calling. After pairing this unit with my Droid X, I evaluated it for sound quality, ease of use, and comfort.
Sound Quality: I don’t have the strictest standards for music listening, but I haven’t had many better listening experiences that I have with the 700. After changing out the earbuds for the larger set to get a good fit, I was ready to go. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of getting a good seal between your ear and the earbud for sound quality. I have had this wrong on other earbuds in the past, and the difference in sound quality is night and day. For clarity of playback the only thing that I have gotten better sound from is my Creative Zen X-Fi with the EP-830 earbuds. While the 700 doesn’t produce booming base, it is rare that earbuds do. By comparison I think that the 700 has better sound than either the Motorola or Jabra units that I have used.
Ease of Use: This is an area where I think LG has really scored. The 700 has a dedicated on/off switch, and each of its controls does exactly one thing. There are dedicated buttons for play/pause, skip, and reverse for controlling your music player. In addition there are dedicated volume and call buttons too. Once you learn which side the controls are on, it is very easy to control the 700 without being able to see the controls.
Comfort: If you have used earbuds with no issues in the past, you should have every reason to expect the 700 to be of similar comfort. I have listened for an hour and a half without giving any thought to the headset I was using. The unit itself rests like a necklace around your neck. The only potential issue I could see is that people with long hair may find that it gets tangled in the unit. If you are concerned about this, I would recommend checking out this unit in person. As of this writing you can do so at a Sprint store.
The one caution I would issue would be around active use. I don’t think the unit is designed to hold up to bouncing around, and it also does seem to be sweat resistant either. I would recommend the Jabra Clipper for active use. However I use the 700 while sitting at my desk at work. It does fine with normal walking around and light activity. I would just refrain from using it during exercise.
Overall: The LG HBS-700 is a very strong offering. It hits the mark on sound quality, ease of use, and comfort. The only downside I see to it is that it was not designed for using during exercise. Otherwise I think that you will be happy with this unit.

finally affordable bluetooth stereo earbuds,
After literally years of searching for a bluetooth stereo headset I’ve finally found a pair that I didn’t immediately hate. In fact I like these headphones a lot. I’ve been using the HBS-700s for the past few days switching back and forth between my pc and my phone for listening to music on my work commute and at night when I’m laying in bed watching movies or catching up on teevee shows. Hearing the ADR and Foley audio from my favorite shows with new ears has been an interesting listening experience to say the least. The wireless range on these headphones is also surprising. I’ve walked around the house listening to music from my computer while making something to eat or doing dishes in the kitchen at the other end of the house (some 30+ feet away with walls that make even wi-fi difficult). The battery life seems great so far. I haven’t had them power off on me yet and charging them while I’m in the shower seems to be good enough to last through several hours of music and movies. I could probably charge them every other day and still not run out of juice. The playback controls are easily accessible and after a couple hours of use they were already burned into my muscle memory. I am a bit worried that eventually the earbud wires might become damaged or become detached from the neckband, but I’m guessing that with care they won’t be damaged for quite some time. One thing to note is that I have yet to use them for making or receiving phone calls so I have no idea how the call quality is. I’m not sure why exactly, but I prefer to actually hold a phone to my ear when I’m talking rather than taking the schizophrenic route and making it appear like I’m talking to myself.
While I was researching this product I found it exceptionally difficult to find photos of the headphones actually being worn by people. There isn’t even a brief mention of these uniquely affordable and comfortable to wear headphones anywhere on the LG site. Sure there was the overtly sexual photo of the girl with the exaggerated cleavage shot to look at (after a ton of searching) and there is that guy reviewing them on youtube who never once even so much as takes them out of the package, but there isn’t a single photo of a person wearing this headset in any kind of typical fashion ANYWHERE that I could find. I find this quite sad as it was one of the issues that might have kept me from making the purchase. Luckily I had a phat (like the kids say) gift card to burn and thought the risk might be worth the cost of return shipping. It was and I have no intention of returning these.
The things I was the most concerned about before purchase were 1) the design of the neckband itself, 2) the overall size and weight of the device, and 3) the sound quality and fit of the earbuds.
1) The neckband is very light weight and made of fairly good quality materials. I don’t by any means think these headphones would stand up to a lot of abuse, but for day to day wear they should last a good while. The band itself is made of a flexible rubber material similar to the earbud wires, but much thicker. It sits comfortably around the base of the neck and aside from the plastic hardware bits at the ends, I wouldn’t even think about them being on. I don’t know if I would wear them jogging or while working out as they would probably jostle around on my collarbone awkwardly and I’m not sure how well they might stand up to some sweat, but that’s not a huge concern for me really.
2) The size and weight of the device are deceptive from the product shots. They are much thinner and lighter than I was initially expecting. From the variety of bluetooth headphones I’ve seen in the past, they are usually exceedingly bulky and uncomfortable to wear. The HBS-700′s are light weight and only slightly larger than I would like. Don’t get me wrong these things are no bigger or heavier than a standard slim wired headset, but who wants to wear headphones around their neck all day? The only headphones that come close to these in terms of size and features are the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 or Sony DRBT100CX, and those are awkwardly designed and more expensive.
3) The sound quality and fit of the earbuds again exceeded my expectations. After my ears adjusted to the initial shock of a change in headphones, I have to say that these are some of the best sounding headphones I’ve ever owned and a thousand times better than any other bluetooth headphones I’ve experienced. I’m guessing that the audiophiles out there will probably find some way to poopoo the sound quality of the HBS-700s, but to the average user the sound will surprise you. The standard earbuds fit really, really well and help to block out external noise. There were another set of replacement ear buds in the package, but I haven’t tried them out, but I think they might be slightly larger than the ones that the headphones shipped with. What’s more, the innovative magnetic…

Comfortable, convenient, and good sound – awesome!,
What I liked:
- Light
- Good quality sound (music and in-call)
- Vibrating alert for calls
- Conveniently holds earbuds magnetically when not in use
- Good battery life
- Comfortable (necklace causes little to no discomfort)
- Well-designed, easily learned controls (On/Off switch is a physical toggle that you slide one way for “On” and the other way for “Off”)
- Nicely priced
What I didn’t like:
- Not completely wireless (earbuds are attached to necklace through wires)
- No presented storage options (worried that it could get damaged easily as the necklace band has quite a bit of flex in it and the earbud wires could be damaged)
Overall, these are a great set of bluetooth headphones for the money. They replaced a pair of Rocketfish bt headphones and these LGs are better in nearly every way. Sound is nice (not tinny and no overpowering bass), battery life is long (used for 3 days for about 10-14 hours in total and they’re still not dead), and I can say that they’re much more comfortable than the set I was previously using (they feel just like regular headphones, except with a neckband – which is actually more useful than annoying [I originally thought that I would hate it] as it has a built-in, magnetic earbud holder for when you need don’t feel like listening to music, but want to keep the headphones on you for later).
Would gladly recommend this set to a friend.
