Amazing Product

Strengths: This bluetooth headset is great to use with my phone, easy to connect to any device (I've connected it to my phone, Itouch and computer) and it has fantastic sound quality.

Weakness: None

I was recently selected to test the new LG TONE stereo headset, and based upon all of my experiences using it, I have found it to be a remarkable product. I really love the fact that I can be completely connected to my devices and have the freedom to move around the house without having to worry about unplugging cords. Family members and co-workers all enjoy using this product as well. This is a remarkable product that I would highly recommend for your spouse, teen or friend. It's awesome to be able to be totally cordless and have more flexibility in how I listen to my music.

Game Changer!

Strengths: Game changing design, ease of use, sound quality, range, battery life

Weakness: Hmm . . .

Having been dissatisfied with every one of the dozen or more Bluetooth headsets I've owned so far, I obviously jumped at the chance to review the LG Tone. This device is an absolute game changer! The brilliance of its design cannot be overstated. My previous Bluetooth devices were the traditional types that are supposed to hang from your ear. Of course in reality they never stay in place, fall out during important conversations, have tiny (useless) control buttons, are worthless for listening to music and look obnoxious hanging on your ear when you aren't having a conversation. The LG Tone, on the other hand, is designed to go around your neck and rest comfortably and securely on your shoulders. I put mine on in the morning and can leave it there all day. I listen to music from my PC or Blackberry and when a call comes in, the unit vibrates and automatically switches over to the call. Sound quality is great, battery life and range are both outstanding and the controls are intuitive and large enough to actually use. Try it and you will never again buy an old-style Bluetooth device again!

Great Product!

Strengths: Lightweight, decent sound quality, easy to use

Weakness: Haven't found any!

I was fortunate enough to be selected to review the LG Tone. I have been using Bluetooth enabled smart phones for several years now, but didn't want to wear something that made me look like I belonged on Star Trek! The LG Tone met that requirement, and more! It is lightweight, comfortable, and you can enjoy listening to music on it as much as you would any portable music device. The Bluetooth is great for talking while driving, doing housework, typing, etc. I absolutely love my LG Tone!

Holiday Shopping Complete!

Strengths: affordable, lightweight, durable, no wires to tangle or get in your way, great sound quality, can read text messages to you!

Weakness: Not the best device for running but that's not what I use it for mainly, so no real weaknesses I can find!

I was given an LG tone to try and man, did it surprise me!! I never use bluetooth devices and this is my all-time favorite. I loved how lightweight it was around my neck, you can't feel it at all. I sometimes even forget I'm wearing it! The sound quality is really amazing and it can read my text messages. This has become a lifesaver as I'm in the car, traffic, to and from work. It does the job for me. I highly recommend as holiday gifts...they will be in quite a few stockings for my family this year!

LG Tone

Strengths: Comfortable, intuitive and high quality audio

Weakness: At first when I would turn my head it would jerk the ear bud, but then I realized you can adjust how much wire is free so now I can turn my head without a problem.

I was recently selected to test the new LG Tone Stereo Headset. I've used it commuting, traveling for the holidays and working out and so far I love it.It's comfortable to wear around my neck and most of the time I don't notice it's there. The earbuds feel natural and don't make your ears hurt if you wear it for an extended period of time. The noise cancelling feature works surprisingly well.I use my phone a lot so conserving battery is key. When I'm done using the LG Tone I turn it off and it automatically turns off the music player on my phone so I'm not wasting battery life.The sound quality is great when listening to music and the microphone works well - when I'm speaking on the phone the other person doesn't have trouble hearing me.I haven't used the text reader, but I think it's awesome that it can read text messages to you.I would definitely recommend the LG Tone for anyone who commutes or travels and it's great for peole who like to workout at the gym.

Very Cool & Useful Gift

Strengths: The Blue Tooth connection making it wireless! Very good sound quality The Vibrating Call Alert is cool Very light and comfortable Battery life Magnetic ear bud holders Very light weight

Weakness: Haven't found any

I've had the LG Tone for about 3 weeks now. It's a very cool device that would make a great holiday gift or present for anyone with a blue tooth capable device. It's comfortable to wear and the sound quality is very good. I told a co-worker all about the LG Tone and after he went and researched it and read the reviews on it he decided the LG Tone would be the perfect gift for his two teenage sons. His sons are always playing games or listening to music on their phones in the car and the sound from both games or music can get annoying and cause conflict. Now with the LG Tone they can play their games and listen to their music without annoying each other and their parents with the sound.
