Well the problem of the lag with bluetooth should be allmost solved ifboth ends support the apt-x and low latency protocol.


Some headphones do, not sure about phones... I suppose they don't?

One more question. Will it by any chance pair with two devices at the same
time?

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,
Ari

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 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,

    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:

            [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>





            They run around $90 I believe.

            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.
