Black LG Behind-The-Neck Stereo Bluetooth Headset w/ Music Streaming/ Call Waiting Support (HBS-700) (Promo Code EMCYTZT2681)

White LG Behind-The-Neck Stereo Bluetooth Headset w/ Music Streaming/ Call Waiting Support (HBS-700) (Promo Code EMCJHJB233)


Note: The Black Promo code is for email subscribers; the White one is for anyone!?!

I've had one for 6 months and love it. Jog with it, do home construction with it, drive with it. 'May buy a second one in case I lose mine, and may buy another for my Sis.

- It's light enough I often forget I'm wearing it; doesn't bounce around.
- It looks a delicate, but it hasn't been.
- It couples with my BT VM Evo cellphone calls very nicely.
- And it couples with my VM Evo apps cleanly -- I listen to books while I drive, jog, work/play.
- It becomes very intuitive after brief use.
- I find its ear-buds very comfortable: noting complaints from some Amazon users, I tried their alternative bud, but preferred LG's.
- While the ear-pieces reduce exterior noises, they don't eliminate them and I can carry on conversations and drive safely with them in. YMMV.

I believe LG has released a "710" model, so the 700 may be discontinued -- but the 710 has reports of poorer BT connectivity (drop-outs and short range), so I'll stick with this model.

'Can't say how it handles Music -- I almost exclusively use it for Audio Books -- so check Amazon or NE reviews for Bass / Treble depth if you care.


NB: The Promo Codes ($6 for Black, $5 for White) were accepted on the cart page, but didn't appear until the checkout page -- this led me into an unnecessary CS "chat".

Read the negative (1 star reviews). Don't know if there is a modicum of truth to this but I thought I would post this as PSA.

People are claiming that:

1) LG only will honor warranties from authorized resellers. Poster says they won't reveal who authorized resellers are, so people can buy from them

2) Two reviewers were told this, "I was told that LG only guarantees this headset to work with LG phones, not any other devices." :eek:

3) At least 4 reviewers stated, "what they told me was Newegg was not an authorized dealer so they will not warrant my headset".
