Excellent product

I had an HBS-XL7 wireless headset for ~1.5 years. I really wanted to like this device. I've tried several around-the-neck style bluetooth headsets and this was by far my favorite for a while. The neckband is the most comfortable and durable I've tried- especially the flexible body. The battery is acceptable, about 1 charge per day like my cell phone. The sound quality is also acceptable (disclaimer, I am not an audiophile and I know I'm paying under $150). The downsides - it is riddled with physical/construction problems. It's broken on me 4 times in less than two years. First, right out of the box the bluetooth emitter didn't work. It never connected to anything. I spent half an hour on the phone with a service rep trying to troubleshoot and they finally gave up. They sent me a new device and worked first try. 6 months later, the right ear bud stopped working. I can see the rubber wire shielding coming undone under the earbud as pictured in many other comments here. Called them up, sent in a repair request, they fixed it no questions asked. I am without a headset for ~3 weeks during service. Another ~6 months later, the left ear bud stops working. Same deal, they repair it no questions asked. Another ~3 week wait. Another ~8 months, the left ear bud stops working - again! I call them about it, and they say I'm out of service warrantee so it'll be about $120 to repair (~25 for diagnosis and ~90 for repair). I can buy a new device for $125 and have it at my doorstep tomorrow. I have a low quality blue tooth headset from a cheap knock-off brand that was ~$30 I used daily for 3 years. It still works perfectly 5 years later. It may be worse in every other way - but it works - and that's more than I can say for the LG. I thought I'd treat myself to a high quality one from a reputable brand like LG. Unless you're planning on replacing this thing every half year or so I can't recommend it.

Loved these when I first got them. At ALmost a year of having them, the sound went out of the right ear (which I read was normal) - called about a warrant on them 1 week before year/warranty was up. Was told a way to fix them. Did that, worked well for about a week, then went out again. Called again, was told they wouldn't honor the warranty even when I explained the situation and that I called a week before. I have discovered what I believe is the problem - because they retract, the issue lies with inside the neck piece. I have to constantly adjust and readjust the ear piece wire in order to get any sound. And this goes back and forth between left and right ears. Sad - because these could be really great earbuds - esp since they weren't inexpensive. Now I'm looking for something else to replace these - they aren't dependable. UPDATE: 8/25 This is my second pair - mainly because I love the design BUT this is also the second pair where in the sound goes in and out of the left ear AGAIN. This time, it happened within 5 mos and yes, I contacted them again about it. All they wanted to do was have me return them so they could "fix" them. I use these for work and cannot be without them. All I wanted to do was exchange them and all they wanted to do was fix them. I still think the problem is with where the wire retracts up into the neck piece. I'm constantly "smacking" the left side of the neck piece to get them to work. Like I said - I do love the design and convenience, the way they stay in my ears and the sound but either fix the issue before selling them or be willing to exchange them without having to send them back and trusting them to actually fix the issue. If these weren't so expensive and the price didn't constantly increase, I wouldn't be as upset. Will continue to try to find something very similar at a lower price. :( UPDATE: 12/25 - Sadly, not even a year has passed, the sound now goes in and out of BOTH earbuds. I may look stupid doing this, but I end up having to hit the damn things just to get the sound to stay either on or at full capacity. These ARE my favorite earbuds but now they aren't even available. If they ever do come back, LG needs to fix the issue AND bring down the cost because the fact that they don't last even half a year before something goes wrong with them, they are not worth the cost.

I loved my HBS model for at least 3 years but I had a hard time finding them lately. Everyday use will break them eventually, I accept that. I really don't like Apple Airpods, and I like the around the neck style more than any other style. This model has better sound then the HBS, it feels way better around the neck and lighter, it's more flexible, the Bluetooth is solid when I have my phone in my pocket and I'm moving around (The HBS would cut out sometimes). The controls are a little different, but not something I can't get used to. The charger is now USB C, so be prepared for that.. I don't mind since my Ipad is like that on a plane. So far the battery life works for me, I listened to music for 6 hours and didn't need a charge. Call quality is the same, but I have not checked to see if background noise is better than HBS-910. I can highly recommend doing this purchase though, especially if you are looking to replace their older HBS-910 or similar model,

10/10 they just work

Tengo años usándolo y es muy bueno para no usar el teléfono en la mano

Let me say that 1 star is too much for this product, if I can return it back I would, I am in Dubai, had purchased the item from Amazon.ae but the shipment is from US, so they will cover only 50AED shipping refund, while I have to pay 200AED shipping cost. The sound is so terrible, the retractable system is not working at all, this is totally a rip-off. I had a previous version and the sound was very good, the retractable system was working just fine, the material was so bad it had broken, that is why I made this dreadful order.

سماعات رائعة و عملية و جودة الصوت عالية جداً

These things rock! Google assistant is pretty annoying if you have an iPhone but the rest of it can’t be faulted. The buttons are a similar concept to the original iPhone headphones where you click the button twice to go forward and three times to go back The sound quality is good enough for my tone deaf ears and I’ve been told the sound quality of the microphones when I’m on hands free calls is way better than the my platinum 1100’s Plus the last ones broke because they kept getting stuck around my bag when I tried to take it off so the flex is a win! If you want top of the line wireless headphones, go spend the $500+ that they’re worth, otherwise, these rock

I hope this helps someone. I wanted a bluetooth headset that could stay connected to two devices at once: 1) windows PC (MS surface Pro) for remote working with MS Teams and WebEx meetings, 2) cell phone for phone calls (Samsung S9+) It works perfectly for the above use without any switching needing to be done by me BUT getting it setup was not intuitive. If you are trying to do similar, here are the high level steps: 1) turn on headset into pairing mode first time - pair to Windows 2) turn off headset 3) turn on headset into pairing mode (hold on button for 4 seconds) and pair with phone 4) after pairing with phone, goto Windows PC and connect headset from blue tooth devices again. In my case, the above sequence was important. It would not work if I paired the phone first but your mileage may vary. Btw, the mike sounds amazing on this for meetings and phone calls. I do not use Google assistant so that is a wasted feature for me but apparently this model has better microphone than the one without google assistant so it is worth the extra dollars. The unit is very comfortable just hanging around my neck and i only use the ear buds for phone calls (use the pc speakers for audio output and the headset for microphone only) I am very happy with this product and feel that multipoint bluetooth should be push much more by headset manufactures than they are now. It is a great feature that i didn't even know existed until this past month. Good luck
