This type of design also decreases comfort because the weight of the substantial portion of the headset are carried by the ears and not the neck or collarbone. I imagine headsets with a similar design to the BackBeat Go 2 and powerbeats2- with two earpieces connected by a cable worn around the neck - will also have short battery life due to the lack of volume for a large battery.
This is much better than the 4.5 hour battery life offered by the Plantronics Back Beat Go 2. The HBS-750 are rated at 14 hours music playback, whereas the 900s are rated at 17 hours of music playback. The HBS-900 are much better in this regard among others, for example, than the Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 in that the Go 2 would be annoyingly noticable when turning my head because the 'grippy' surface finish of the cable connecting the two ear pieces would rub on clothing.īattery life also stands out as excellent. The headset - with the exception of the actual earbuds - are imperceptable when wearing a collared shirt, the shirt collars are actually more perceptable than the headset. Three characteristics stand out with respect to the HBS-900. gradations of battery level not precise in battery level information announcement.Another improvement over the 750s is that a somewhat annoying periodic aerodynamic 'whooshing' sound heard when walking while listining to something quiet does not exist with the HBS-900.
But I also get better sound, more comfort, and the wire management system which stows the wires and docks the earbuds.
#ANDROID LG TONE BATTERY STATUS BLUETOOTH#
I stll get the same great convenience of a stereo Bluetooth headset as with the HBS-750 but without having to recharge frequently as I had to with the Plantronics BackBeat Go 2, which I returned to get the 750s. When things like this happen, it is a reason to get something newer and better, and I'm glad I got the HBS-900. It was over for the headset at this point. Eventually it separated and fell on the foor without my knowledge and somebody stepped on it, deforming it such that it would not snap back securely. After about a year, the earbud sound engine would separate at an assembly seam and would have to be snapped back into place. The 750 finally succumbed to a level of build quality not suitable to longevity after a year and a half of heavy use.

I purchased this headset as a replacement for the LG HBS-750 TonePro, a lower end of the previous generation of LG's series of around-the-neck/on-collar Bluetooth headset.
Overall the purchase is money well spent for a comfortable headset, and subjectively speaking, excellent sound quality with the convenience of Bluetooth - multi-point no less - that doesn't require frequent recharging. I also purchased Best Buy's extended replacement warranty because I know the headset will not last two years. I took advantage of Best Buy's price match policy to get them for the same price as on Walmart's online store - $81.94. The LG website states an MSRP of $149.99 for this headset but it is currently available at Best Buy for $129.99. The INFINIM is not moisture resistant, however, as is the HBS-850 Tone Active. Compared with the other models in the range, the HBS-900 INFINIM has the best sound quality - provided by harman/kardon, a premium appearance, and earbud cables that conveniently retract with a press of two buttons - one for each earbud, when not in use, maintaining a neat and premium appearance. The LG HBS-900 Infinium Bluetooth stereo headset is the top of the line of a group of Bluetooth stereo headsets featuring a comfortable around the neck/on-collar design, long battery life, good to superior sound quality, and a unique multi-point Bluetooth connection that allows the headset to be connected to two devices at the same time, where one connection is to a primary device.
