Review on 🎧 LG TONE Ultra Α Bluetooth Wireless Neckband Earbuds (Hbs-830) - Black by Amir Tune

. I have had 4 similar Bluetooth headsets from LG over the past 6 years. Although without their quirks, this one is inferior to these. Contrary to most recent reviews, I use my headset primarily for podcasts, not phone calls: it's designed for that use. Pros: It works most of the time. Cons: Battery life: This headset has a much shorter battery life than any of my previous LG BT headsets. To save money, they changed the design to put all the electronics on one side of the headset (versus both sides on older models). I believe this affects battery life. FF/RR Features: I often have to RR as I miss something in the podcast (interrupted, distracted, etc.) and FF from commercials. Because of this redesign, where all the electronics are placed on one side, they combined the volume and FF/RR functions into one slider on the only side where the electronics are now: instead of the right slider up and down bottom is volume and left side is FF/RR L side slide holds everything. For Vol, press the slider briefly, RR is a long "hold" on the slider. This shifts the time to FF/RR and it causes you to try FF/RR many times but you just toggle vol up and down. FF/RR Reverse: Controls are from previous models and are not intuitive to use: slide backwards, in RR slide forward. All other models were opposite (and intuitive). Why is this change? Re-pairing: I've rarely had to repair my old models, this often seems to need re-pairing with existing devices. I really enjoy the freedom of LG BT headsets but this redesign is totally wrong and I hope it's not the standard.
