"One significant flaw for otherwise fantastic product."
3.0 starson by brecklundinPros: Lightweight, comfy, seems durable, LOOOOOONG battery life, can be worn while sleeping, multi-point pairing
Cons: Issues pairing mic (whatever that means in BT lingo) for video/voice chat on Asus Transformer tablets (I have the TF300t) & others with different models have the same issue, still trying to resolve
Summary: Have to give this otherwise fantastic headset only 3-stars. Why? Because it apparently cannot pair with he entire family of Asus Transformer tablets produced to date. I have a TF300t, others with TF201 & TF101 devices report the same issue. We can pair just fine for audio as well as multi-point with a phone and tablet. But when you want to make use of video or any sort of voice chat the LG HBS-700's mic is not active only the on-board mic for the tablet. The tablet mic is, well to be kind, not excellent...ok it kinda sucks hard.
The ability to use a HEADSET (as in not simple headphones) was why i chose the HBS-700 set. And in every way save the mic issue it truly is exactly what I want in a headset...except for me it functions only as a pair of headphones...in other words I get only 50% of the functionality I promised.
I flat do not care who is to blame here. Don't care if it's LG or Asus but someone needs to either fix their end or those two multi-billion-dollar companies need to solve this widespread issue for us poor peons. ;) If fixed it's a 10+ headset...
One great positive I have to share is it is the perfect headset/headphones to wear for sleeping. I don't even notice them on if I fall asleep or need an audiobook on to block out background noise...so danged comfy to wear...
