Yes I have the LG 730 and they are currently the only BT headphones I use. I
don't think you can get much quality sound without blocking some external
noise. I do, however find an unacceptable lag on both my IPhone 6 and my
ITouch. But I use a very tiny transmitter from Anker to send the signal from
the Stream or the Plextalk with little or no lag and decent sound on books,
music or podcasts.

Hi Eric,
Sorry, I just am not a bluetooth hi-fi expert. I think however that it's
virtually impossible to get both a good hi-fi experience, and still allow
environmental sound to be heard; so, I think you are stuck with either
Aftershokz or to just use one ear when possible (like these allow).
I did find an article about a variation of this from LG which is the HBS730
(the ones I am reviewing are the HBS900). The reviewers thought the HBS730
were just the best bluetooth sound *ever*, but they thought the retractable
wire management on the HBS900 was great. I believe the HBS730 are also this
collar design, but the wires don't retract.

Chip, I agree this is a pretty good product. It does keep your earbuds
readily available, too.
The problem I have is the buds are the type that isolate you from outside.
You can not push them in quite so far, but then you lose most of the
quality.
I would really like to find tips that deliver the good sound, but do not
block out all outside sounds. If you or anyone knows of anything, it will be
most appreciated. I actually did try attaching tips from Bose MIE, but they
have a proprietary fit to the earbud which I could not get to stay on the
LG. Too bad because they are the best bud tips I have ever used.
Unfortunately, the MIE are wired.
Thanks!

Subject: recommendation for bluetooth device which can be an ear-piece or
used in both ears for great music sound
Hi all,
When I went to sign up for my AT&T service, the very knowledgable salesman
and my wife fell into a discussion about his bluetooth device, which my
sighted wife said was unlike anything she had ever seen. He told us that it
was an LG Tone Infinim, and in his opinion he would never go back to a
standard ear-piece.
This device is shaped like a horse-shoe, and sits on your shoulders,
encompassing 300 degrees or so around your neck, with the open portion
facing directly forward.
Each arm has controls on the top and the sides (lots of actual buttons), and
the mike is built into one of the arms. But best of all are the ear-buds
which nestle in small nooks at the end of each arm, and are attached with
spring-loaded 10 inch long wires. When not in use, you press a button and
they automatically retract back into the device, so nothing is in your ear
to impeed your hearing.
When you get a call (the device will vibrate if you set it up that way, and
it will also vibrate if you begin to walk away from your phone), you simply
grab an earbud and pull it out and insert into your ear. If you want better
sound, or to listen to music, you pull both out.
The controls on the right arm are dedicated to controlling audio (fast
forward, rewind, pause/play), and the controls on the other are
volume/vibrate and interface with Siri so you can give verbal commands.
I've waited a couple of months before I said anything here because I wanted
to be sure I also thought it was enormously better than a standard
ear-piece, and absolutely I think it is. It comes in any number of colors
(my wife's opinion is that the silver/gray is the most professional
looking), and having it around my neck doesn't bother me at all. I do get
a lot of compliments on how it looks, and a lot of requests for demos.
A charge lasts about 3 days. I find the audio quality excellent, but admit
to not being an expert on the audio quality of all bluetooth devices, so I'm
putting a review link below, and an Amazon link to the silver for $90 also.
I have to admit my wife and I had each already purchase other bluetooth
headsets, and we don't know what we're going to do with them, but we're
using this from now on.
Hth,
Chip
