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

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?
Thanks,
Ari

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.

I have and like the HBS-1100. Quality and latency are great!

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,
Chip

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.
