"Best Bluetooth Stereo Headset Available"

by itham2002 on February 13, 2008

Pros: Great Stereo Sound

Cons: FWD/RWD buttom could be better
Summary: I have tried several bluetooth stereo headsets (Motorola, Plantronics Voyager) and the LG is the best available to date.

First, I don't like to have my ears clogged up with headphones that plug in your ear. The "echo" inside the head is too bothersome, you can loudly hear yourself chew gum, cough, and breather. I call it the "Darth Vador" effect. Both the Motorla and the Plantronics clog up your ear, so I was impressed with a headset that goes over the ear. However, they are clearly more visible than the smaller Motorola and Plantronics.

The sound quality of these headphones is 1000% better than the Plantronics and Motorola. Both of the other units sounded extremely tinny. This was the first Blutooth headset with some bass and better quality sound.

The voice (handsfree) is pretty clear, however, the Plantronics did sound better. I'm mostly concerned with music, so that isn't a big concern for me.

Quality isn't as bad as everyone is stating here. I purchased these in Feb 08, so maybe they changed the earpiece? It's rubber and I can't see how anyone can break it. The FWD/RWD button is a bit flimsy.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with these headsets, specially since I've tried other ones and was very disapointed.
