Review on Enhance Your Audio Experience with the LG TONE TRIUMPH HBS-510 Wireless Bluetooth Headset in Red by Sal Mattocks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great headphones, support SIRI, but WHY three buttons?

I have been using LG BT headphones for many years and have tried several models. I tried others only to return to LG. However, I have mixed feelings about the 510 series. Mixed, but mostly positive and mostly better than previous models, including my previous 800s. Funnily enough, all previous HBS models were replaced because the left earphone no longer worked. I didn't know my last LG was BT version 3.0 and I had connection issues all the time. With the new 4.1 BT standard these baddies have NO problems and I can't tell you how cool that is. Supports SIRIBAD: Still with voice prompts. In certain situations they jump out of my neck - easier? The cables seem to tangle a bit more than on previous models - are the cables lighter again? Three button controls - WHY? Muscle memory keeps me pressing the volume button on the right cantilever after all these years. While the 3 button controls are very convenient, I would have preferred the method of toggling the volume and pressing the channel selection buttons. Having to click and wait to skip songs is a little tedious. Otherwise great headphones that I would recommend would buy again!

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Protection
