30 bucks for this pile of crap? From China? Original?
Freaking unbelievable. Got me a pair of AKG K518 for less..
couldn't agree more, 25 US bucks for that crap, bwhahahahahhaa
They're not worth more than $10 US!
ipmart? hmmmmmm..... I would be very cautious buying anything from there.
Ive just bought some really cheap "Iphone 3g" compatible ones from HMV in the UK..
Branded as "exspect Iphone 3g" cost 14.99 (or 2 for £20 on all ipod/iphone accessories) they dint seem to be on the exspect website.
I hate the stock htc ones and was gutted when I found out I couldn't use the spare X1 mic/3.5 adaptor on the HD (sounds are very quiet until you press the talk button when music suddenly comes through full volume).
and the stock HD ones kept falling out of my ears when cycling to work
So in a hurry I bought some of these, expecting to buy something better when I could find them.
They aren't "shure" by a long way but they do sound better than the stock ones, and the mic works okay (even if it is in an odd place). Dont know how long the cabling will last, but they'll do for me for a while.
They look a bit like the eye candy fullmetaljacket iphone ones.. without the bling
I bought mine spares earphones at mobile brando.
I'm not sure if they are original, however, they are exactly like the originals and the quality is the same.
Any suggstion for alternative handfree
I agree with all those who say the original ones are crap.
Why I spend 30 bucks on those crap which broke in just 2 weeks.
Even in that much money I can buy some decent and better ones.
I already bought some from ebay with description orignal htc hd's even they included right pictures but I received wrong ones which even doesn’t work with htc hd totally waste of money agh! . I dont wanna waste money in some cheapo Chinese or Hong Kong shop again. Just a rip off especially when things go in wrong directions. No replacement bad in communication and customer service.
Anyways, guys any suggestions which one to buy. I know any stereo earphones can work but I need mic as well in it. iPhone ones works aswell just confused which ones are durable and gud in quality.
Please share your experience. I wanna use them as handsfree plus music player.
I was just thinking is there any with volume control on it but still look slick.
Volume control is just a second thought I just want good quality of music and mic in affordable price.
Suggestions and experience much appreciated.
Cheers,
Uppal.
What country are you in?
I have the original HTC HD headphones (never used - only tried one once in one ear and did not like it - too hard). I could sell them to you, but I would recommend you getting something else - like the following:
I use the Jabra BT3030 bluetooth headset and I'm very happy with it. Unless you are a music person that is very particular about top quality sound, you'll be fine with these. They offer good quality sound at a reasonable price. And you can even plug in your own headphones into the bluetooth dongle if you prefer.
I like the fact that I can easily pause, adjust vol., move between tracks, answer calls etc.. all without ever having to take the phone out of my pocket. It will even work with MSVC (microsoft voice command) if you have that installed in your ROM. So, I can be listening to music and decide to pause, then give the voice command "call Mike Jones at work", then I hear the confirmation "call Mike Jones at work?", I say "yes" and the call is made. Once I'm done talking to Mike, I go back to playing music. And again - ALL THAT without ever taking the phone out of my pocket and without having to deal with headphone cables attached to my phone.
The only downfall is that when you pause the music, the phone screen turns on. So, if it's in your bag, you could accidentally start pressing buttons on screen. I haven't tried activating the screen-lock with password. That would probably prevent accidental pressing. Now, if you have your phone in its own hard case, then you don't have to worry about accidentally pressing buttons, but I still wish the screen would not turn on.
That only happens with the play/pause button. If you just switch tracks or change the volume, the screen will not turn on.
So, you can consider this option. Even if you don't go for the Jabra BT3030, you can look at bluetooth headsets with the same idea. Like I said, a nice thing too, is that you can plug in whatever headphones you want into the bluetooth dongle. For me, the ones that came with it sound fine and are very comfortable to wear.
You can hang it around your neck (although I don't like the dog tag chain that comes with it - but you can use something else), or use the little plastic clip to clip it to your shirt etc... The plastic clip is not the greatest, but it does the job. The headphones provided are meant to put the right headphone cable behind your neck (i.e. the right cable is longer than the left one).
Here is a manual about the Jabra BT3030
And here is a photo.
In the store, they cost about 80 Euros, but I bought them on ebay for 45 Euros.

The quality is good imo. I definitely don't need anything better. And people I talk to on the phone have said they can hear me fine when I use the mic.
The rc is surprisingly light. It weighs 30g (= 1 ounce) and has a nice rubber grip feel to it (kind of like the back cover of the HD).
After around 6 months of using the orignal HTC headphones, i broke them. I have bought the Jabra 3030 BT.
But i miss listening radio, so i decided to buy similar HTC headphones. I found this on ebay :
http://cgi.befr.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270393535320&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:BE:1123
It's cheap, and i hope it's worth it.
I should receive it in a couple of days.
If anyone Uk does want a set of the original ones I can send them mine..
I've just bought the HTC HS U350 to supplement the cheap ones I bought from HMV..
works great sounds cool..
am away for a week.. so dont expect them immediately.

I assume you mean "Jabra" and not zabra?
The jabra bt3030 model comes with a headset that is:
from the plug to the splitting point for left and right = 32 cm
from the splitting point to the left headphone = 20 cm
form the splitting point to the right headphone = 50 cm
It works fine if you hang it around your neck or if you put it in your shirt pocket. I personally don't like the look of having it around my neck. If you want to put it in your pant pocket, you will need to connect your own, longer headphones to the bluetooth unit. In that case, you'll have to hold it in your hand to talk into the mic when making a call.
The battery life is about 7 - 8 hours of music playing / phone calls
In stand-by mode, it will last 230 hours
There is a light on the headset that flashes constantly (where the word "jabra" appears on the front). Green means fully charged, white/red means medium charge and red means low charge. When the battery is really low, the headphones will beep every 15 seconds. At that point you have about 15 minutes left on the battery.
You charge the battery via usb. If it is totally empty, it will recharge in 2 hours.
I think the battery life is fine. If you really listen to music a lot every day and talk on the phone with it several times throughout the day, you will likely go about 2 days without having to recharge. I don't use it that often and so I can go about a week without having to recharge. It all depends on how much you use it.
I think it is worth it to buy the headset. But get it online somehow because you can get it cheaper than if you go to a store. I paid 45 Euros for it.
You can get more specs from their website here. You can also download the manual in pdf if you want.

I've already ordered thi Jabra...let's see how will it be...

Hello,
Any recommendations on the best bluetooth unit for the tytn? I would also like to pair it with another phone sometimes, if that makes a difference.
I'm only looking at using it for voice calls and skype...don't care about music playback, etc...
Thanks,
LIP
I use the Jabra Jx10.
It works great and is easy to switch to anther phone (just turn off the last phone used and it auto connects to the next phone it was paired with). Might be an easier way, but this does work.
Only negative I have with all bluetooth is I can hear the hiss sound very well. But I have that problem with all bluetooth. Friend of mine has the exact same phone and bluetooth and he can't hear the hiss at all. But then again I think he must be going death.
My next bluetooth to try is the jawbone. Once it comes out in black.
My BT headset
I've got the Plantronics Discovery 645. Overall, I'd say it's very good. Great sound, people tell me I sound good, pretty good range, etc. I generally keep it on the lowest volume level, and that's just loud enough for me.
My only complaints are:
1. Whenever I answer using the BT headset button, it takes about 1-2 seconds for the audio stream to fully kick in. (That could be a BT thing, not just this headset.) But occasionally my TyTn's BT is off (I've noticed that it sometimes turns off overnight...still trying to figure out why), and when I try to answer using the BT headset button, I end up waiting about 3 seconds before I notice that there's something wrong. Then it's a mad scramble to get my TyTn out of the holster and answer manually.
2. The soft-gel earpiece, although soft and comfy, isn't a perfect fit for my ear. After putting it in and adjusting it, if I move my head just a little too fast, it will start to come loose to the point where I need to push it back in. I end up fiddling with it to find the "snug" point where it's secure enough to stay in. (Yeah I could use the little wire whip to hook over my ear, but I wear glasses, and that makes it uncomfortable.)
If this BT headset ever gives out (or my wife decides she wants it instead), I'll be checking out other BT headsets. Until then, it's good enough for the price.
So far I had more than 20 BT units. My latest one is simply the best.
Sony-Ericsson IV835. See this link for more info:

does it (the Sony-Ericsson IV835) just hang in your ear or is there a clip?
i use the jx10. its great

No clip. but not like similar units with no clip, this one if very comfortable. You get in the box 3 sizes of ear/gel adapters. try and see which one fits you most and there you go.
jawbone
Get one of the new jawbones. It blows everything else away. I have owned every headset mentioned here and returned them all within 30 days.. and with disappointment. I have been able to carry on a conversation without raising my voice in a convertible with the top down (windows up) at triiple digit speeds. It is the only headset that has been reasonably quiet on the other end enough that the person is willing to chat with me. THe buttons take some getting used to, and so does the fit wih all the included options. Try them out until you are sure it fits snugly.

I second your opinion. I love my jawbone. I can talk to anyone 2 inches away from my washing machine, and they can't even hear it when it's running. Truly amazing. Check it out at www.jawbone.com.
I just got back to work with a brand new HBH-IV835 and I have to say it's dissapointing.
The sound from the speaker is a bit muffled, like it's missing treble. Other end complains that my sound gets also muffled under noisier environments (Computer room).
Other complaints are the loysy answer/reject button, and no way to change the volume.
When the battery runs low, the earpiece won't alert the user in anyway (or not that I've heard) but just dies silently leaving you wonder what the hell happened.
On the plus sides, it sits comfy in the ear and it's light and looks cool.
Verdict: I'm gonna test drive this over the weekend and prolly take it back to the store and try Jabra JX10 instead. The sound quality is just lame.
I use the Sony Ericsson DS970 and find it great.
It wasn't without tirals and tribulations though as it was originally rubbish and I was quite disapointed.
I searched the forums and found that a hwhole host of bright people had made patches for the issues that work for most headsets.
To start I downloaded and installed the fit4cat tweaker (Now 2.0) which has boosted the audio quality and done a load of other funky things to my phone so that application is a must! for the Hermes.
l also downloaded a cab from somewhere called A2DPfix.CAB which stopped the skipping.(Yes.. it seems you need both)
THere is also another patch called bluetooth Voice command.cab that stops the Hemes occasionally outputing the audio to the phone rather than the headset and stops the voice command talking over your conversation.
Is there anything left that could be fixed?? Yes.. there are still no tags for numbers from the phone but I can live with that. And sometimes the phone behaves a little slow when reading mail whilst listening to music and its downloading something. but thats ok for me.
All these patches are available if you read the forums and take in what has been said so you can find them.
using a plantronics 510, works great for me.
Jawbone -- thirded
Jawbone is the best, for sure. I've had about 5 of them. Never returned them. They are just sitting around somewhere (gave a couple away).
After raving about mine, all of the fellows in the office are getting them. They're that good. It's the only BT earpiece that my girlfriend will let me talk to her on.
-Humber
Very good to hear. My jawbone gets here monday so I will post a review as well.

Jabra BTV 500

JAWBONE REVIEW
So here is my short review of the Jawbone (Bluetooth) based off only a few hours of testing. Look for an edit if things change.
First of all... this is the best presented Bluetooth I have ever received. Just wait until you open the box, it almost makes you want to take a picture.
But that's just fluff now the real stuff.
Calls are noticeable better on my end.
The Bluetooth hiss is almost gone for me, and I imagine most would say non exist at all.
Noise Shield seems to work well. I turned on my bathroom fan and shower as a "loudness" test then called my wife. She could not hear the fan at all, and could only hear a slight static from the tub running. (which is very loud).
Outgoing calls seem to be the same as my Jabra JX10. At least to my wife. I think it sounds better when I had some one call me on my new jawbone.
It fits very well. I have trouble with some ear loops and ear buds on other Bluetooth I have tried, but they provide you with enough to get a near perfect fit. I can wear it without the ear loop like my JX10 with only minimal fear of it falling out.
I do not use voice command so I cannot rate.
I do use voice dial and so far it has not had any trouble in a variety of noise levels (further testing needs to be done for me to feel comfortable on this, but it is at least as good as the JX10).
It does not call back someone when double clicking (like it should on some phones) I love this as I store it in my pocket and am prone to clicking the button by mistake.
It rings faster than my phone rings. Meaning that I can hear it in my ear before it ever rings out loud on my phone.
Pressing the phone answer key auto connects to the jawbone. I can live with this, but I personally would like it not to auto answer... I mean normally if I hit the green talk button on my phone it is because I can't find my Bluetooth so I would rather talk on the phone and not it.
It is noticeable larger than the jx10. Which see my last part about loosing my Bluetooth is not necessarily such a bad thing. however it is very light not light enough to drop it by mistake, but light enough to wear on your ear for a long time. (Although IMHO you should not wear it on your ear all day long, the borg look is just not in. but this is just my editorial opinion.)
The manual says it is Bluetooth 1.2 complaint. So I am not sure if it is really a Bluetooth 2.0 that happens to work down to 1.2
Despite that I can still reach the same range as my JX10 (which I am pretty sure is 2.0).
It comes with an AC charger and a USB cord. (USB plus into AC charger so you can charge either way). The Manual it comes with is top notch.
OVERALL: I like this Bluetooth. If my opinion changes I will post it. Sound is the best I have used on incoming and ties for outgoing with my JX10. And I have used about 6 different BT over the past 2 years. It looks good and feels good.
Oh and for all you who hate the flashing blue light... this one is a much less annoying dim white.
Q
sounds great, too bad we cannot get them here in Australia.
Might have to Ebay it....

D'oh! I realize that I wrote my previous post a little ambiguously... I had 5 other BT headsets, and they're all just sitting around.
I only have one Jawbone, sorry :-( There's a guy selling them on ebay...

I upgraded to a GPS enabled DoPod ROM....
The bass is deep, using the BT headset above...
I can definitely recommend it!
That's all folks...
agree
I agree. If you have them snugly in your eyes, you'd swear you'd be at a nice club.

I also agree. But make sure you are not chewing gum at the same time. They gradually pop out And when you take them for jogging the main unit bounces on your chest You could have a look at the Jabra 8010 convertible I have them both so I know.
Solution to "bouncing" problem:
Get out of the clips, with the plastic loops, like used on employee id cards and clip to your shirt. Works great!
I love the fit, the look, the sound quality, the battery life and the controls.
I bought these earbuds so I do not look like an alien walking the streets and riding the subway with those Moto or Logitec headphones or like a 007 with the mono earpeace hanging on my ear and everyone asking with a smirk "Are you on the conference call or something ?".
I love the minimalistic look - they snuggle in the ear and sit there so comfortably, isolating the street/subway noise so well and I look "normal" like everyone listening to their iPods.
But the neck strap ... I hate the neck strap - it spoils everything ... it just does not go well with the suit and tie
Although it was a good thing to have while riding the board. They were hanging perfectly fine on my neck when I took them out snowboarding back in February. I haven't used them since. The WM6 stack or the radio itself was dropping the BT connection every time GSM signal would bounce and GPRS connection had to be re-established.
qWith the latest ROM/GSM combination "released" few weeks ago BT finally became stable and I pulled them out for another spin. To my greatest disappointment I could not adjust the neck strap anymore - it would not slide up or down along the ear butts wires. Closer look revealed that the wires got out of the protective nylon sleeve inside those sliding plastic leads to which neck strap snaps in. I spent an hour or more trying to pull the ear butts wires inside the sleeves ... no luck.
So I did not think for too long before I snapped the neck strap off. Now I am left with the 2 small plastic leads on each wire .... one below the mic and second below the phone button. Not a good thing to have, especially when you can't slide them. Few more minutes of hesitations and I cut those plastic leads / cups off. I ended up with a 3mm slack of wire stiking out of the sleev on one of them and I'm thinking of cutting the sleeve off completly, leaving the wires exposed as all other earbudds have.
I had the small clip which was attached to my older Jabra headphone and it sits very well on the headphones wire.
The adjustable neck strap was getting on my nerves anyway
I love the fit, the look, the sound quality, the battery life and the controls.

mine is not fake, sound quality is perfect, and the battery life is normal- around 5-6 hours. which totally sucks
My battery life is 5-6 hours on continual use (listening to audio books). I've accidently left it powered on for several days, but didn't use them - so in standby they do last awhile.
I know I have a good set, already bought fakes then real ones, but just curious what behaviour are you getting while listening to music and taking a call? Do the audio controls work ok after a call? Meaning Pause/Play? If I had audio going, make a call, then go to resume the audio - play, fwd/rev, and volume work. But it won't pause anymore. I have to go in and refresh on my 8525 to get all functions.
Battery life is good. Had the same problem with the strap not being adjustable after a few months. think it is a shrinking of the sleeve or something. darn pissed with it. brought it to the service centre and they replaced me with a new set.
Does the caller ID stuff work with the MDA VARIO II? Also does it notify you of missed call's and txt messages?
I was thinking of getting this but wasnt sure if it was compatable.
Also does the unit take AA batteries or do you just charge it? Also whats the battery indicator like, is it just 3 bars (personally i hate having very basic battery indicators!)
The caller ID shows the number only. No other indicator functions I noticed working on Cingular 8525. It has to be charged and seems to have more than just 3 bars ... maybe 4 but hard to tell just like that.
it shows number only with my 838 Pro, but with SE and Nokia handsets, it shows the name of the caller
Anyone know of a USB charger for the DS970?
I just got my DS970 headphones the other day (just two days before the DS980 came out, but that's life...). I like them a lot (sound, fit, function are great with all the patches, of course)
However, it bothers me that they come with a fat old wall charger and no USB charging cable. I try to carry no transformers with me when I travel and just have USB cables to charge all my gizmos from my laptop, but this gadget of course has its own weird connector (typical Sony) and no USB.
Anyone found a USB charging cable for this baby?
Can someone confirm that the DS790 works well with AKU 3.3 and up with WM5 and microsoft BT stack?
Does the song title show up? and does it tell you if text messages are received?
I have the Herald and it works perfectly. All controls work and all sounds (including the messaging sounds) are routed to the headset. Only thing worth noting on the sound is that when the phone rings, it will still ring loudly and the headset plays its own ringtone in the headphone (don't know why). My Herald is running WM5 with the default MS stack.
Song titles does not work and call ID only shows numbers, not caller name (which is stored in the contact list)

Works as advertised on WM6. DO not remember when I bought them, but see no rason it wouldn't work on WM5 - MS stack haven't change much. To answer the second part, may I refer you to the post #13 above.
I just picked up one off ebay...
I'm now a little pissed that they are fakes..
The quality is just fine for what I need them for except that playing music they work fine..
I play a movie.. NO GO..
Is there a reg setting for this? Anyone else experience this?
Again Windows Media Player MP3's work fine... MP4 Video.. it won't play though these.
Thanks,
Headset connection shortcut?
Anyone know a quick way to connect the 970 for Wireless Stereo use?
I have a Hermes running WM6, and can connect quickly to make phone calls using the button on the headset. But when I want to use it for music I am currently opening Comm Manager, selecting Bluetooth settings, and then selecting "set as Wireless Stereo" in the device tab.
Would love it to be automatically selected when I turn on Bluetooth.
Thanks
My wife would like to use her Koss headset instead of the crappy stuff that comes with the unit. Is there an adapter that works like the 2.5 minijack to microphone + 3.5 minijack adapters that I have for my Atom? And please, don't even mention bluetooth! The headsets are nowhere near sounding as good as a cabled Koss yet, at least not within the price range we can afford!
Google is your friend.... this is a bit heavy on the DIY side but the principle looks solid.
http://www.4winmobile.com/tutorial-replace-hermes-headset-connector-with-35mm-socket-vt3146.html
I took the diy route, while it looks intimidating it's really very simple. Had my new headset adapter up an running in about 15 minutes.
Or a little less polite said: www.justfuckinggoogleit.com And yeah, I have thought about doing that, but the problem is that it won't be useful as a handsfree, and I would need something that does that. But I may try anyway, by cutting the plug of one of my XDA Atom 2.5 inch minijack to microphone + 3.5 inch plug units and soldering it to the thing. I just need to find out what cable to use for microphone, but that shouldn't be difficult. I was just hoping that there would be a ready made solution like the one I use for my Atom, from my eBay friend on netime in Hong Kong (no economical cooperation, I'm just a very satisfied customer). Look at item 320087044758, that's the one I use.
Another weird thing about that: I can get a similar item in Norway, and it may actually arrive 2-3 days sooner (usually not more). But it will cost me close to ten times as much! Talk about getting paid through the nose...or whatever orifice they put their money in.
Oh, not to be snotty, but I think my time will probably be closer to 5 than 15 minutes! I have all the equipment they mention, only in better versions, and I do know my way around a soldering iron. It does have it's perks to have an electronics engineer as a brother! He works in software now, but you should see his home workshop! The old stuff he gives me is probably better than all the hobby stuff you can buy!
Finally I'm glad that guy remembered to have a separate image showing that you need to put the plastic covering of the mini jack plug on first, since that's the number one idiot's mistake. This idiot has done it a few times as well...

You cut above the microphone to attach the jack, and then it can still be a handsfree device.
Yeah, that's an option. Thanks! But the Problem is that the cable will be very long. Anyway, I did it the way I described above, and it took about five minutes.
Hi,
I'm thinking to buy a bluetooth headset, any one can suggest me one? Battery life is my main concern.
Thanks
i use a nokia one, last me a good 2 days
I have tried alot of headsets since they first came out and all i can say is dont buy a cheap one, I have had the cheap, the medium priced and the highend headsets and I can tell you that the only ones i keep are the high end ones. Right now I have the Plantronics Discovery 975 and I love it. Its really light wieght I wear it mostly all day and i sometimes have to touch my ear to make sure its still there, thankfully it always is because it never falls off. It comes with a really convenient case that can charge it fully three times with one charge which means if I charge the case and the headset together to full charge I dont have to charge either for about four or five days. Great buy in my book and well worth the money
nokia bh 104 cheap'n'good
I use the Jabra BT4080.
Small, light, CHEAP, and has A2DP for listening to music.
i use a motorola one
Jabra BT3030 works good

A few months back I bought a Iqua Sun for about 50 euros (70 bucks), here is a link to the official site:
http://www.iqua.com/products_sub.php?navi_id=1476
I am extremely satisfied with the photovoltaic cells, whenever i get home i leave the headset near a window when it can get sunlight and that's all. In four months of moderate usage (20-30 minutes every day on average) i've only had to recharge the battery (via mini usb, perfect) twice . Of course it works with the Hero . I can't speculate on the extent of solar power charging on daily heavy usage , but if you don't need it beacuse of your work and simply use it when you are driving etc etc imho this is perfect.
I can vouch for my Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 A2DP headphones..what's nice is that they offer noise canceling and music streaming capabilities..and the microphone is out of sight yet accurate when you're talking. I've found them to be very comfortable when using them at the gym and just having them on all day. =D link to site
2 words - Jabra BT530
This is an amazing earpiece that filters background noise, AND can be connected to 2 phones simultaniously
Works like a charm, and fits perfectly in the ear(more ear pieces are enclosed so you can choose the best one)
I can wear mine for hours a day, and not even notice i have it "on"
/Smirge
Jabra BT2020 works well with the hero, clear sound and overall very good
There's only one headset i've tried that's good enough and that's Sennheisers VMX100.
Everyone in our company has one of those and save for a few minor problems, mostly related to generic bluetooth problems and the rest probably related to heavy usage, we havn't had any problems at all using a bunch of WM versions, stock android 1.5, iphone and sonyericsson.
Don't mind people talking about problems pairing it with Windows Mobile, my hero didnt even ask for a pass code.
I use the nokia bh-905 on a daily basis. I am really happy with the features (BT+A2DP+sound cancelation+microphone)
I use Sony-Ericsson stereo one: SDK-MW600, You can pair up to 3 devices, it works well with hero, with GB it even show name of song, calling nr. Quality of sound is very nice. And also long battery life.
Hi all,
I live in Germany and saw that the local Aldi's (grocery/mini walmart store) had some bluetooth headphones on sale. They were 30 euros so about 35 US dollars. Decided to give them a try since I thought 30 euros wasn't bad. I'm really surprised how good they are. I have LG+ Tone 700 and these are pretty comparable. This also has A2DP and uses bluetooth 4.0. It paired quickly with the note 3 and got it up and running with no hitches. The sound quality is good. I'm going to give them more of a trial run later.
They also charged extremely fast at only 2 hours. Run time it says is about 4 hours but if the recharge time is that small, I don't see a big deal with it being shorter time for the charge to last. They have a 3 year guarantee and it's USB chargeable only but I'm sure you can find an normal adapter if you wanted the wall plug. To charge the headphones, it's kind of funky. It's like a clip to some small prongs. Not a normal microusb charger. The controller on it is pretty small and you need to like mash on the buttons a little but it seems to be alright for normal use. They're really light and have only the headphone wire which I like because the neck loop on the LG sometimes is irritating for me.
Anyhow, thought you all might want to check it out for those who live near an Aldi's in Europe or in Germany. The manufacturer is Maginon, model BTH-100. I think it's probably a no name but I'm not sure of products here.
here's the german link. Not much info but enough: http://www.supra-electronics.com/typo3/?id=119&tx_oid=685&L=0
long term use
Hi Kamfl610,
Thanks for the short review. I just run into this and I would like to ask if you opinion changed after a longer use? You are using it for almost 2 months now.
Thanks

I'm interested about feed backs. Wanna share? Thanks!
I too had a pair of LG Tone 700, and due to how much I used them, one of the wires to the earbud shorted out. I replaced my set with the LG Tone 730 (the newer model), I gotta say, I love those even more!
I do have to add, however, that as far as I know, the HBS-700 model uses bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, not 4.0. The 730 model uses bluetooth 3.0, which isn't bad, but that's not 4.0. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-oUPLWaNGNN0p4NEs2OEJkalk/edit?usp=sharing
I do suggest paying the difference and getting the LG HBS 730 instead of the 700. The battery seems to last longer as compared to the 700s I had, and I like that fact that it tells me if the battery is high, medium, or low when I turn it on (as the old set did not do).
the LG tone 730 physical buttons works well on KitKat?

I use the 730 too... love them. Only issue I have isI reset my phone and NOW I cant get Svoice to be default phone program again, instead I have been having to use Google Voice which sux monkey nuts.
LG TONE 800 is way better.

Hi all,
Meant to reply to this. I took them out for a longer run. The sound quality is still decent for 30 euros but how far away the phone had to be away from the headphones is not very far. I started getting a little static and some stuttering quality when i had the phone down in my bag. Along with that, when the phone was kind of bumping against me, I was getting gaps in the sound from the headphones and my music. I find this kind of not a good thing. If you want something cheap and just for daily use (no running with them or heavy exercise) and you can keep the phone close, it's not bad. I've gone back to LG tone +700 again. The 730's are too expensive right now in Germany and I don't even see the 800 model yet. I tried also the Delycons because they were 50 euros and i saw decent reviews on Amazon for them and I was disappointed with them. They were similar in style to the 30 euro ones but were suppose to have good sound. I didn't find that. I normally use PowerAmp Player but the bass was so muddy in the Delycons that I had to go to the Google Music player to even out the sounds. That seemed totally wrong to me so I sent them back. I'm going to use the 700's for awhile because I haven't found anything that remotely meets the same specs and sound quality. I just wish it didn't have the neckband. Anyhow, that's just my view.
