Unique around-the-neck form factor (see larger image).

The Magnetic Ear Phones snap into place in the stylish, streamlined Memory Flex Neck Strap for easy storage, and they pop out just as easily for comfortable wear. Music controls right on the neck strap mean you can leave your phone in your purse or backpack and still play, pause, rewind, or fast forward.

Wear it at work, while you are shopping, at the park walking your dog, lounging at home, or working out at the gym. Because it's water resistant, you can work out as hard as you want without worrying about breaking a sweat!

You'll never miss a message with LG's free BT Reader app (Android OS), which lets the LG Tone read your incoming text messages in real time. A vibration will alert you of an incoming call and with the intuitive controls located on the neck strap, you can navigate phone calls and media easily without having to physically touch your handset. The LG Tone has multipoint capability, allowing you to stream music from your phone or computer and switch seamlessly to a call on your mobile device all from the neck band controls.

In addition to up to 10 hours of talk and music playing time, the LG Tone offers up to 360 hours (15 days) of standby time. It also includes last number redial, voice dial, call reject, and call waiting functionality (phone dependent).

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Sound Quality, Ease Of Use, And Comfort, December 1, 2010
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pray yours doesn't break!, August 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
Since there are a few in depth reviews floating around, I'll just highlight some of the things that struck me after use:

Good:
� The style of the headphones themselves is very ingenious, and stay in place no matter what I am doing. They take a few minutes to adjust to the feeling of having them around your neck, but soon after you forget they are there.

� No problems syncing with my Droid X

� They will pause/skip ahead/answer calls with no problem

� The volume button is well placed, with a feel that's easy to find by touch

� Ear buds are fairly comfortable

� Sound quality is pretty good with music. They are a little flat sounding, but using an equalizer app brought them back to life. For the price, I was pleased.

The Bad:
� Poor construction quality

� Sound quality on phone calls is horrible. Did you ever talk with someone through a long tube or pipe when you were a kid... Read more
