Good for music

 

Comfortable to wear and looks like regular ear phones to others until they notice the around the neck part of the unit. I use them at work and at the gym and they stay on pretty good. Sound it okay, not bad not good

Due to design sometimes my chin hits the buttons on the around the neck unit which will either change tracks or turns on voice to dial

Best right now

 

This is great

Easy connection to devices Especially IPhone great sound easy controls

Connection starts interrupting little less than 30 feet but that still not bad because all it will do is pause ur position til u get in the area of the device

Great, for a while

 

Got an RMA issued by Newegg. Since the 30 days is measured invoice to NE receiving it, it was a long shot, but I sent it. RMA shipping took a week (!), and although they looked at it despite the late date, it will be rejected because I didn't retain...

Comfortable, sometimes to the point of forgetting I had them on my neck. Good sound, easy to set up

Failed on the 27th day of ownership. They had been on the charger for a day or so when I went to use them. They did not turn on, no charging indicator, nothing. Confirmed the charger was OK by attaching my phone

best ever

 

Also cool would be if it had noise-cancellation built in, not just for calls but all the time. Still by far the best stereo bluetooth ever (and awesome design)

I have been buying stereo bluetooth headsets from newegg for years. Each one has had deficiencies, except this one. It isn't missing anything (except a bit more granular FF or RW function). It has everything I want and nothing I don't; I love it

I do wish the FF or RW (from within a track) was improved; now if I FF/RW it will do 3 beeps and then stop; I have to hit "play" for the track to begin again ; It would be cool if the wires to the earbuds ratcheted, so that you could pull on them and...

Great set of buds.

 

Great headset, recommend, very much bang for your buck.

Great headset, the quality is very good and you can change the bass setting. I have owned mine for over 5 months and still love them. They last for about 8 hours of constant use. I have a bluetooth on my phone as well and an adapter for my...

When running they tend to flap around, even if tucked under the shirt. Also, once you have them in yours ears the extra wire does kind of stick out around your neck

Works for Skype and music at PC

 

Download the 100+Mb drivers for XP. Worth it. They allow you to connect as either or both a Stereo Audio device (tunes) or handsfree headset (VOIP). Set your audio profile accordingly, and Skype kicks in and takes over for voice calls, then kicks back...

Works for Skype and Music, automatically switching from one to the other. it's comfortable and has a long battery life. Long. Ear buds fit well and passively block outside sound. Call button automatically calls last contact (Skype or phone). Allows for...

The speaker wires are thin and I'm afraid they may break. Mic quality is weak. I was told I sound like I'm talking through a tin can. Worse than my $5 boom-mic headset

Good While They Lasted

 

I did talk to LG support to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious and he confirmed I wasn't. Told me I had to return them.

Decent sound. Bass was a bit thin but still acceptable. Incredibly comfortable around the neck. I would buy them again if I knew they would last

Stopped working after the first day of use. They would no longer turn on or show a charge indicator

What a great device

 

This is a great product. I use mine daily for listening to music from my BlackBerry 9810 Torch and to make and receive phone calls. I love how it pauses my music when a call comes in and resume when the call is disconnected. I bought this originally...

Convenient, comfortable, decent quality audio, well made, easy to use, inexpensive, ect, ect, ect

On/off switch can be difficult to slide. Charging port sometimes difficult to get plugged in

Great BT headphones

 

I have a ipod touch 4g and use it for music. The range is great through walls and even in different floors. The controls are good. I've used it while laying supine and exercising and both feel great and unobtrusive.

Great sound, great range, fast recharge
