As a part of my craze for music and games, I often get to test and experience a lot of headphones at the request of my friends and colleagues, since I mostly stay updated and have been told that have the best choice when it comes to these wonders.
Speaking of brands, LG happens to be a leader in making cutting edge and technologically advanced electronic consumer products for global users. Recently I had an opportunity to test a few of LG’s Bluetooth headphones and made a note of the ones that I liked. Here are a few that made a great impression on me and would highly recommend to all for regular use be it working out or traveling.
LG Tone Platinum HBS-1100
The LG Tone Platinum HBS-1100 has a solid build quality along with an attractive look and has a combination of matte black with a glossy body. On the left side of the wireless headphone, there is a small volume slider and multifunction button for answering phone calls and can be used with voice commands. On the right side of the headphones, there are playback controls where you can pause and play music or change tracks with the sliding control.
The LG Platinum HBS-1100 headphones come with retractable earbuds that can be pulled out to 4 or 5 inches and can be reeled back in by using a button on the inner portion of the headphone. The earbuds have silicon tips for a good snug fit without slipping. The headphones use Bluetooth to connect to smart devices as well as computers with the initial setup being very easy for beginners; multiple devices can also be paired to the headphones without any hiccups.
By downloading the LG Talk and Tone app on any Android phone, shortcuts can be assigned to different controls on the headphones for reading out messages and much more. The battery life is about 10 hours requires a charging time of about 90 minutes to 2 hours.
Lastly, the sound is incredible. With the always-on noise-canceling feature, Qualcomm saptX codec for 24-bit music support and the Harman Kardon sound stamp, the headphones work well removing most of the outside noise while listening to music even on a moderate volume. The bass is rich without getting too muddy and the mids are balanced out for vocals. Overall, LG Tone Platinum HBS-1100 does provide a good experience and proves to be a long-lasting accessory as compared to other counterparts from various brands.
