"Surprisingly comfortable. Quality audio. Small controls" on by kts911
Pros: Excellent range.
Good sound quality.
Comfortable, even on my big ears.
People on the other end of a phone call report that it sounds as good as when I'm on the phone.
Very easy to use call button.
Intuitive button layout.
Built in EQ.Cons: Tiny buttons.
Slightly hollow sounding.
Some distortion.
Sound cuts out every time it wants to make a noise (like the low battery indicator)Summary: I just got these today, but I feel like they are a quality set of bluetooth headphones. I've listened to about a dozen songs. While the audio quality isn't as good as my high quality wired pair, it is certainly passable. Decent bass response and built in EQ allow for custom sound tailoring on the fly. I've made a couple of calls and the sound quality on both ends has been excellent. I've used about a dozen bluetooth headsets and this is the bet I've used so far for sound quality. The range has proven to be quite surprising. I'm about six feet tall and keep my phone in my front left pocket (iPhone). I;m not getting any range based distortion at all. I laid my phone at one end of my apartment and walked to the other with very little noticeable distortion(about forty feet, through one wall). I also have fairly large ears and am finding these quite comfortable. There is plenty of length on the cord to allow for full movement. Also there is a little plastic piece on the cord that will help prevent tangling. The headphones are lightweight, though not light enough to forget you are wearing them. I haven't had them long enough to thoroughly report on the battery life; however, they were dead out of the box and with a twenty minute charge I've had an hour and counting of streaming music and about ten minutes of phone calls. The only improvements I would ask for in an update are for audio quality and size. The controls could also be a little bigger, but I wouldn't trade size for the layout or separation. Also, for anyone who has every used an iPhone employing the strategy of lowering the volume for notification sounds would be preferable to cutting it out completely. Also as far as noise isolation, I've tried sitting on my couch with the TV on normal volume and music playing low volume and was able to tune out the TV. I think this is a fairly reasonable amount of noise isolation, as I wouldn't want to be completely cut out from my surroundings with this type of headphone.

"Fantastic--Worth the wait for A2DP WITHOUT big muffs" on by mald7
Pros: Pads versus big muffs in other A2DP stereo headsets are a big plus! Excellent sound and phone quality. A MUST BUY for the dual phone/music phone that I bought two years ago and have not (until now) been able to use.
Cons: Controls are small (but easy to get used to)
Summary: Just got this for Christmas. I've been looking for pads versus the big muffs in all other A2DP stereo headsets and this is perfect! Pairing process brought up LG 510, but search for other devices and the LG250 came up. Pairing was then a snap. Sound quality is great, loudness very good and cell quality (ATT) was equal to talking/hearing using only phone. As for controls, they are small HOWEVER once you realize fwd/bkw (selection) is raised and vol is toward front it is easy. MUST BUY for active adults. Fit is good and snug (not too snug) so activity (moving head) is not a problem at all. HOPE YOU ENJOY THESE TOO:)

"Headset works great at a reasonable price." on by gofstbuick
Pros: Pairs easily with my sony w350. Very light and comfortable to wear. Music quality is very good. I like the equalizer feature. Has similar features to the HBS-200 without the breakage issues
Cons: Probably not for those with big ears. A little difficult to meneuver around the ears, placing the wires behind the head.
Summary: I purchased this device to replace an LG HBS-200. I liked the music sound quality of the HBS-200, but the plastic arms break too easliy. The HBS-250 is a much better design. I was a little concerned with usig the device with glasses, but if you put the HBS-250 on your ears first then put your glasses on, the fitment will be just fine. The price is reasonable at $41.

"Nice set of headphones" on by lovetherazor
Pros: Sound quality
Comfortable
Easy to carry
Small
How they fit on ears
Easy to pair with phone.Cons: Controls a bit too small
Summary: I returned a previous pair of Samsung bluetooth headphones because they were so uncomfortable and I found these at a US Cellular store and I have enjoyed these the minute I tried them on. they are very comfortable. The sound quality is very good. I love how they clip on my ears which makes them very secure. They paired very easily with my blackberry. They are very easy to carry around. you can put them in your pocket because they are very small. The only thing I didn't like is thta the controls are a bit too small but it's something I'm sure you would get used to. i recommend these to anyone.

"Works great! Much better than my previous set." on
Pros: Audio quality is GREAT. Worked great with my iPhone when I had one, works great now with my Droid X and MBP. Battery life is phenomenal: both the iPhone and Droid die long before it does. Comfortable and unobtrusive on my ears, while still secure.
Cons: Couldn't control iPhone playback from it and Droid X doesn't send tones through it (phone end issues, I think). Giant external button gets pressed easily and can produce annoying results: redialed people a lot on iPhone. Can't use while charging.
Summary: Nice piece of hardware overall. Got it for $25 on Woot. It was ABSOLUTELY worth that much. Doesn't have issues with losing connection to the phone when my body is between them like a lot of other sets seem to.
Overall, it's not the best headset I've ever seen, but it's the best I've actually purchased.
