I even forgot it was there

This is a very smart improvement on the traditional Bluetooth headset. It has a very good built-in speaker and two earphones that offer an excellent listening experience. The battery lasts a few days and charges quickly. I love that the device sits comfortably around my neck and I no longer feel like a borg with a headset dangling from one ear.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • So far so good

Great sound but less battery life

I've had several of these LG headsets, they pair very easily with an iPhone and sound great. This model has superior sound compared to previous models, but I don't find the battery life that great. The only other (minor) thing I would add is that they changed the 2 different beeps that indicate if your headset is on or off and if it uses the same beep. It is confusing. Do I turn it off or on? I pick up again. But it's a shame they made this change.

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Only available in black

New models are good for in ear headphones

I've been using LG BT for a few years, always the same model HBS A100, love this one because of the dual external and speakers, new LG models doesn't come with any SL6S either one speaker but what a disappointment it only comes with an external speaker, its sound quality is poor and poor, the connection is good but then it starts to disconnect, turns off, won't play my music (have to turn it on everytime turn off again to work) headphone sound quality poor compared to older models especially…

Pros
  • Sequins
Cons
  • Repair

It's not worth it. I return mine.

1. The sound quality was better than any other LG HBS I've bought. Runs alongside HBS-920 Harmon/kardon. 920 won.2. App features do not work with Android, only with Apple. It is not possible to adjust the equalizer from the application3. Missing multiple connection to different devices (not tested, but will be looked up later by the manufacturer)4. Each key is now multifunctional, leading to human error when trying to press and hold or double-tap. Entry buttons (HBS 920) work best. The SL…

Pros
  • Convenience
Cons
  • Not satisfied with everything

Works well but not perfectly

Works very well for the most part. There's a learning curve learning the keys the way you normally use them without looking. I love that the speaker tells you how long the battery life is and gives you 3 hours after just a 10 minute charge. I found that the volume buttons don't work well. Most of the time I have to control the volume with my phone volume control, which is annoying. The volume doesn't seem to stay where you set it, and the next time you call, you may have to adjust it again. The

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Very expensive

Not worth it - Headphones

I had an old LG bluetooth hbs A100 Stereo, it was much better than this one but they don't sell it anymore 😔 So this is supposedly an update. no speaker (stereo) very quiet. I don't like covering my ears, so I always use a speaker. And the battery will be empty within 5-8 hours. I didn't have to charge my old headset for up to 2 days, maybe 12 hours or more. I've been waiting for a review to see if the problems are getting better or worse. The battery issue was an issue on day one, but it…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Almost never

Lightweight but missing key features

I read a lot of reviews and full descriptions before buying but I missed that it doesn't work very well on iPhone. Button configuration - press and hold the power button to turn it on or off; Volume buttons skip songs, but you have to hold them down to skip; The call button is also a power button. I preferred my old LG neck strap as it had a slide switch for power, a separate button to play music, a separate button to skip songs, a volume button that was just for volume, and a power button…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
