Editorial Review:
PRODUCT FEATURES:Folding neckband for easy carryWheel key for FWD/BWDStylish and comfortable designLG's HBS-200 Bluetooth Stereo Headset offers an affordable way to stream music wirelessly from a cell phone embedded with the Bluetooth stereo music streaming profile. It also serves double duty as a communication headset, allowing you to take calls without having to take the headphones off. Stylishly and ergonomically designed with an around-the-neck profile, it conveniently folds for easy storage.
All play controls are conveniently located on the right earpiece.
The HBS-200 has a sturdy, flexible rubber band that connects the two 2-inch earpieces, and it can be stretched or minimized for just the right size. All controls reside on the right earpiece, and they include a play/pause/stop button in the middle, volume controls on top, and a control on the outside border of the earpiece that allows you to shuttle between songs.The center of the headset also includes a silver power/talk button (with a phone icon), which you can use to answer incoming calls. You can also access the headset's voice-activated dialing and last-number redial features by pressing the power/talk button first. You can also mute a call by pressing the volume down button. Pairing the HBS-200 headset is a breeze, and a status indicator on the headset will blink blue every 3 seconds once it's connected.
Unfolded, the HBS-200 offers a comfortable around-the-neck profile.
The HBS-200 provides up to 10 hours of talk time, 8 hours of continuous music playback, and 250 hours of standby time. A status indicator on the headset will blink red when the battery is running low, prompting you to plug in the included charger. The headset fully charges in approximately 3 hours.Note: Your cell phone must be embedded with the Bluetooth A2DP stereo music streaming profile in order to wirelessly listen to audio.

Agree with others - sounds great but very poor design.:
Like the other people, mine broke in about the same place near the ear flap, but it still works with the broken place taped w/ electrical tape. Not sure how that happened, but I am sure it wasn't due to my abuse, as the only time I use them is at the grocery store to drown out screaming babies. They are useless exercising (e.g., walking/running) because they won't stay positioned due to the behind the head band not being adustable and the streaming skips if you are moving quickly - even on asphalt road.

Good sound, breaks easy:
I really, really love these headphones. They are easy to put on, the are comfortable to wear, but they break very easily. I had them only 5 months before they self destructed. I'm VERY careful with my stuff. I never put them in a back pack or did anything that was rough with them. They were on my head or on my desk. Too bad the plastic near the joint broke. I'd not recommend these to anyone! Great headphones until they break:
I have owned 2 sets of these. I thought the first set broke because I didn't protect them well enough when carrying them, but then the second set broke and I was very careful not to transport them. It seems just frequent use leads to the breakage of the flexible plastic around the wire connecting the ear pieces. Worked well - but then they broke:
This would have been a 4-star review, except that they are now useles because the headband snapped.
Before that, the sound quality was excellent, the controls were fair, and the microphone was poor (but that's normal for headphones without an external microphone arm). Similar Products:
