[nabs-l] Bluetooth Headset

[Jessica Hodges]

personally like the tone series from LG. the one I have is the 730. The 
headset hangs around your neck, with two plastic components at each end. 
The ear buds magnetize into these. From here, you can control Siri, 
redial, do all the music controls you are accustomed to, and 
muting/unmuting the microphone. The headset mike is nothing spectacular 
but it is better than some I have seen. There are a couple of things 
that draw me to this particular headset. The ear buds will never tangle. 
They magnetize into each end of the neck piece, and then there is a 
piece of chord linking them to the neck piece, with a sliding band that 
lets you control how much chord you have to work with, it's hard to 
explain. They are also very comfortable, most of the time i almost 
forget I'm wearing them. It makes it very convenient to just pop out an 
ear bud and put it in one ear, and then when i don't want it anymore, i 
can either stow it out of the way and magnetize it back into the hole, 
or just let it hang free and not bother. It sounds very good, and talks 
through everything, if it connects, is ready to pare, and battery 
status. The battery only takes likes 2 and a half hours to charge, and 
has lasted me two days of very heavy use, sometimes i can even get three 
out of it. and it vibrates when you get a call on the phone. I use it 
pared with my laptop and phone. It is possible to pare to two things at 
once an d then switch between which one you want to hear, which is nice 
and convenient, most of the time anyway. And best of all, it's only 60 
dollars on amazon!
I hope this helps you find something. Let me know if i can help with 
anything else.
