"electronically excellent but physically really poor" on by 22alfar
Pros: great sound quality, many extra features for such a reasonable price.
Cons: The over-the-ear piece is so flimsy that it is easily broken. The volume and on-off buttons are difficult to find by feel.
Summary: The ear wire broke on the third usage making it totally useless since none of the ear bud covers would hold the weight in the ear without it. Verizon, that sold it, said it was not guaranteed but maybe I could call LG and buy a replacement. I would not even waste postage on such an inadequate piece. Fortunately a wire from an old motorola fit nicely. so plan on buying two ear phones if you don't have an old one that fits. The design is the flaw and no amount of replacement with the original is going to be satisfactory.

"Great value for the buck." on by simlav67
Pros: very simple to use. Sound quality is clear, people hear you well and vice-versa.
Cons: Confort could be better

"Very nice for the price." on by tech_addicted
Pros: Duel connectivity lets you connect to more than one device at a time. Pairing is vertually fool proof. Good sound. Very light and easy to use. It can be worn with the earbud only or with an over the ear piece that is included. Good range.
Cons: Unable to find a driver to allow it to be used with bluetooth enabled computers and thier telophony applications. This would be handy as I use Skype daily to make all of my long distance calls.
Summary: For $49.99 at Future Shop, this is a great device for very little money. The sound quality is as good as many much more expensive units, for both parties of the call. It is very light and unobtrusive and very easy to use.

"The best I've used." on by jasonbeckett
Pros: Excellent call quality! Small (enough) design.
Cons: Not too comfy in the ear for long periods.
Summary: I am pleasantly surprised by this headset for several reasons, the first of which is CALL QUALITY. After all, this is a phone accessory, so it had better have a great call quality, and this does not disappoint. In fact, most people who I have talked with on the phone do not believe that I am on a bluetooth at all for the quality of the call.
I have always liked LG but have found the STEREO bluetooth options to be lacking lately so I was not optimistic for this unit...and it has exceeded my expectations.
With all the "glowing" part of the review out of the way, I'll say, honestly, this is not the most comfy earpiece I have ever had. If I can get it to sit just right, it's tolerable, but the rest of the time, it's very annoying after extended periods of time. I find myself taking it out and putting it in only when I am on the call.
If you can handle the fit, this is THE BEST sounding and performing bluetooth I have ever had. I highly recommend it. -
"I ACTUALLY HAVE the new HBM 570 by LG" on by Jude526
Pros: Size
Sound
Voice quality
Dual mic, Noise reduction and echo cancellation
Name Alert !Cons: plug in for charging tight to remove hope it eases up a bit
Summary: This is a new LG headset. I can't find a review on it anywhere. I returned my Jawbone to the Verizon store yesterday and switched it for this LG HBM 570 I got it in the purple since they were out of the pink. I liked the style and comfort of the Jawbone but kept disconnecting when inserting into my ear. I also didn't like being able to visually see a button like I can with the LG and the fact I can increase or decrease the volume so much easier with the LG Like the Jawbone it came charged up and so could pair it up and ready use for my drive home. I was impressed immediately. Half the price of the Jawbone and although it isn't perfect, I still didn't have that much noise background. it is a pretty brushed metal and doesn't have the plastic feel of the Jawbone. It is shaped differently and may not be as pretty but it still is small and compact and visually attractive to the eye.Not cheap looking. You know when it is paired up and connected You can see the light I don't like the ear wrap and removed it. It has different ear bud cover sizes and I have a small ear. I find it to be very comfortable.It has not disconnected on me. Another thing that is important to me is battery life. It is a lot longer than the Jawbone. I don't like the plug in port for charging but that is minor. I have had it one for 3 hours straight and my ear is not irritated. It fits nicely. I have always liked LG accessories and this bluetooth will be ok. I had no sound issues with the Jawbone and I hope I will be happy with the LG I know it won't disconnect on me like the Jawbone did.
well I should had used it longer before giving this bluetooth great raves. I am disappointed to report that it doesn't live up to the expectations. It is ok but not good. I found it to be uncomfortable after the first two hours of having it on. Some calls were clear and some weren't. It does keep up a charge but it also kept disconnecting from my BB I returned it for a Jawbone ear candy and no problems. So, if you have a BB don't get the LG If someone isn't on their phone a lot then this LG might work for you, but I use my phone a lot and need to be handsfree when at home and in my car.
I have made calls on it and am told I am clear. I
It has voice alert and I like that. Lets you know by name or phone number who is calling you. It also lets you know when call has connected and when you disconnect. Not just a beep but an actual voice lets you know. You also will know when the battery is low on it. Why pay more for a BT ? I did get the Jawbone on sale and also my corporate discount but still, half the price and still ok for me. It is a personal choice.
If you have issues with your currentn bluetooth, give this one a try. I like the benefits of voice alert. That is a plus especially when driving. Knowing who is calling is great.
