I was under the impression that you could use them with the BT and that
there is a USB dongle witch lets you connect via RF.

These headsets are all bluetooth. I love my HBS810, but I can't compare
it with the others you've listed, since I don't have any experience with
them, and I haven't looked into them.

I have a couple of questions which I may have missed. an I correct that
this headset is either BT or RF? I would love that since I could use
easily with my laptop, desktop or my IPhone. I saw that Amazon has the
1100 certified refurbished for the same price as the 810 But the rating
is lower? they also have the 910 for $79 so which would everyone
recommend. The descriptions on Amazon are pretty minimal but the 910
does not say it is wireless so is it only BT?
thanks for suggestions.

Subject: Re: Bluetooth headsets
I guess I actually have five buttons, since I wasn't counting the
on/off button, but other than turning the headset on and off, this
button doesn't do anything. I think the other difference is that the
volume up/down and Fast forward/Rewind buttons are sliders, so I just
consider each slider to be one button. For example, to mute a call I
push the volume button in the up position and the FF/Rew button in the
rewind position and hold for a second. When you release these buttons
they pop back into the middle position. The manual calls these jots. I
hope that makes sense. I don't think I did a good job of describing that!
I assume their all plastic, but I suppose the thicker pieces in the
front where the buttons are located and the ear buds retract into could
be some kind of metal. They feel like a hard shiny plastic to me though.
I should have mentioned, the lag is great. I've tried them on both my
iPhone 5 and my Samsung S7, and I barely notice any lag at all, even
using the on screen keyboard.
I've found out that lag is a tricky business. My Aftershokx Bluez have
no noticeable lag on my iPhone 4S, but they're barely usable on my
Samsung S7. I'm guessing this may be because of the better performance
of the S7 over my aging iPhone. Like I said, my LG HBS810's have very
little lag on either phone.

Christopher, aren't there 6 buttons on your HBS 810? I have the HBS
700, and I have 6 buttons; the volume up and down buttons, the track
back and forward buttons, the pause/play button, and the Siri button.
I was also really astounded at all the functions I could perform with
my 700. Lol I need to make a little cheat sheet of where the buttons
are, and all the functions I can perform with the headset.
Is the 810 plastic or metal? I was looking at the 1100 on Amazon
yesterday, and found out that it's made of some kind of metal. My 700
is all plastic. Also, how's the lag on your 810? I have to test my 700
again, since I haven't used it in quite a while, but I seem to
remember the lag not being too bad.
Thanks,

I got a pair of the HBS810 last week, and so far I'm impressed. I
went with the HBS810 since I got a good deal, and I wanted to check
out the form factor before plunking down more money on a later model
in the upcoming years. As others have said, it does have audio
prompts and multipoint support. Right now, I'm going through the
manual, which I found on line in PDF, and I'm a bit daunted over all
of the features that I can access with just four buttons. I like all
of the features, but it kind of feels like I need to learn Morse code
or something to get just four buttons to access all of those
features! I can't speak to their longevity yet, but for now, I'd
recommend them.

I see they’ve changed their design in my most recent purchase (my

pair), and so I assume they are taking steps to keep improving the
longevity of the retracting mechanism. My most recent purchase does
“snap” the earbuds quickly back into the base, but rewinds them much
more slowly.
I believe the 10 suffix of the model number (such as the 910) indicates
a design with an additional microphone was added to improve transmitted
voice quality.
Despite my belief they are trying to improve the design, I do have to
acknowledge that anything with moving parts is more likely to break;
this is the price I am w2illing to pay for a headset that does all the
things this one does.
Good luck,

Does anyone know the differences between the HBS 910 and the HBS
1110? I
have the HBS 700, and am thinking of upgrading. I'm a little worried
about the retractable cables, though. What if The mechanism stops
working? Can anyone who has one of these later model of HBS headsets
speak as to the longevity of the retractable cable mechanism holding
up?

I also highly recommend the HBS 1100. The utility of it is the most
desirable attribute. It’s not going to bowl you over with bass, but
it sounds ok. The ability to simply pull out one or both ear buds
whenever you need them is quite wonderful. The latency is ok; not
perfect. I have seen other blue tooth devices with less. However,
it’s not bad either.
I’m going to have to re-purchase it because someone lost mine. Going
to check to see if there is possibly an updated version since I am
not certain when the 1100 was released.

Hi Michael,
I like the ones from LG which fit around your neck in a
loose horseshoe shape, but they rest on your shoulders. You
pull either one or both earbuds out of the base unit (they
extend on wires) to use it, and when done you press a button
and the wires automatically wind the earbuds back up into
the base unit. The base unit has buttons not only for
talking to Siri and making or disconnecting calls and
volume, but also for play/pause and fast forward/rewind of
played audio material (which often are not present).
The model I have is the LG HBS 900 but I believe someone
here said there’s now a 910 available (not sure of the
difference). They come in a variety of colors (mine is
silver gray).
One of their advantages is that when not in use, they are
very unobtrusive, so they can be worn in professional or
social environments and they don’t draw attention.
I have a notes file which describes where the buttons are
and what they do if you end up buying these, just drop me a
request at:
acora...@comcast.net <mailto:acora...@comcast.net>
They run around $90 I believe.
Hth,

Hi list, I was wondering what people think is the best
Bluetooth headset. Most I have tried have latency problems
while typing. I prefer two ear headset which either go in
the ear or sit on top of the ear. I do not like the jaw
bone. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
