We really like these LG "horseshoe" collars. I had several of them in the past and introduced them to my husband who just has one functional hand (stroke survivor). He can't work the little individual earbuds and the tiny molded flip cases...too many little moving parts that need two hands to manage or operate while driving WITH YOUR ONLY FUNCTIONAL HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL. He'd lose an earbud in half a minute in the car and wouldn't be able to retrieve it or get them into the charging case. I can hear the steamy language now...
He can wear this LG collar with the ATTACHED RETRACTABLE EAR BUDS all day. This particular TONE model has large braille-like tactile buttons for volume and power he can easily feel and operate with one hand without dropping individual ear buds. The retractible factor is awesome for his specific situation. He also needs to be able to instantly switch between his computer and his phone. This model makes that possible. No cussing needed.
So grateful LG is still making this horseshoe-style model. I may order another for myself. They are so comfortable I used to fall asleep in them at night and that's probably what wore out the cord on the side buried in the pillow.
We've had at least 3 sets of these now in the last 8 years. After a few years one side or the other stops working. The earbud busted in two pieces on his last one, but we still go back to the practicality and ease of use of this LG collar. This time I ordered a 3-year warranty for him to cover the risk.
I like that they can handle two devices at once - phone and computer - without drama. After several years of Plantronics, Powerbeats, Powerbeats Pro ($$$) and many off-brand wannabes, I probably will order my own LG collar tomorrow. The value is certainly there for ease-of-use on many levels (charging - no case needed; pair two devices at once; don't get caught in long hair and lost); comfort; sound quality; price point; length of time "in service"; one unit (no "where's my other ear bud?"; won't fall off into the toilet) - these have so much to offer per dollar invested plus a minimal investment for a long term warranty... plus they're returnable if you don't like the LG model you chose. Shoot, my first set of expensive Powerbeats fell apart in probably less that 2-years of use, not to mention they hurt my ears like crazy. If I had to replace my current Powerbeats Pros now I wouldn't do it. $$$$ Are you crazy?
Tomorrow I'll compare all the LG models and pick one for me for sure. I forgot how much I liked LG. The pair of earbuds I'm using now speak to me in Chinese if I press a button one too many times. I had to re-read the instructions tonight to get them back to speaking English.
For great value and EASE OF USE choose LG.
