" ... The pairing is effective and easy, and the headphones can connect to two devices at once. ... "
" ... Pretty decent sound quality but it definitely loses the connection as much as any other bluetooth (and when my device is literally in my purse/pocket, so well within the distance limits) ... "
" ... this item was as expected it has been working wonderfully and love them to death would definitely get another pair ... "
" ... I've been a LG Bluetooth user for a few years now. ... "
" ... This is simply the BEST bluetooth device I have ever purchased. ... "
" ... The range I can wander from my phone is much farther with this LG than my previous Plantronics mono blue tooth. ... "
" ... I am what you might consider a blue tooth telephone headset junkie. ... I have tried the Plantronics BackBeat. ... When using for TV streaming, the blue tooth latency is minimal. ... Final summary, great sound, great blue tooth, easy connection, light weight, good looking, not geeky and easy to use. ... But, if you’re looking for a set of blue tooth headset/headphones, give these a try. ... "

" ... So far I’ve been completely ripped off! ... "
" ... The little piece in the center of the shaft came apart for no reason. ... There's a little plastic tab that is part of a connective piece which connects the two parts. ... That little tab broke. ... "
" ... 1-the retractable mechanisms need to be repulled and re-coiled 2 sometimes 3 times ... "
" ... It is not a durable product. ... The recoil mechanism wears out quickly. ... "
" ... Where the 900s are rigid and inflexible, prone to snapping at the top in the neck band area—and the 700s are almost TOO flexible making them bend and contort in every which way, and the buds falling out all the time—these are the perfect balance of the two. ... "

" ... It was damage, button's were missing so I sent it back. ... "
" ... You must press the button multiple times to get the earbuds to go back in. ... It takes multiple times to press the phone answer button and I usually miss the call, which is annoying. ... "
" ... The placement of the on/off switch is a little weird but you get used to it after a few times. ... "
" ... 1)the button that plays/pauses: it is no longer reliably responsive when wanting to pause or play. ... 2) the voice button that is on the left side that is used to answe a call, query Siri,etc. ... 3)I read audible books voraciously and I use the forward/backward slider quite a bit, however, there are times when the slider (on the right) will physically move in response to my push/pull but the audiobook or music gives no indication that it is getting a command from the headset. ...
