I was torn about whether or not to purchase this product because of all the differing reviews. So torn in fact, that I purchased both the 700 model and 730 model. This review is for customers like me who can't decide which model to purchase. The cell phone that was used is a HTC Droid Incredible II.Personally, I prefer the look of the 700 model. It is straight white, not pearled like the 730. I prefer simple white. As far as comfort--both models are the same. Both are relatively comfortable, except when jumping around. The device bounces around on your collarbone which is annoying--but this is only if you're jumping with reckless abandonment like I was :)Otherwise their is only minute movement, nothing too troublesome or uncomfortable. I heard negative reviews on the way the ear buds fit to the device. They said the magnets were a joke. I've found that the magnets work just fine--assuming you place them properly in the device. Otherwise they will fall out, but that's user error. I purchased these devices for working out in the gym mainly. I did my best using both devices to jump up and down, bend over, jog, etc. Both devices ear buds stayed in place just fine. There was no breaking up with sound in either device when the phones were next to me, or near my person. This includes in pockets, under my shirt, behind me,on my arm, etc. I even swung the phone around me, and there was no sound disturbances for either device.Now, when it came to the phone being separate from my person. Both devices had comparable range. However, it seemed the 700 model was slightly superior, but only by a few feet. I'd say the range I managed was 30+ feet for both devices, and this was in my house, with my cell phone on the charger in my bedroom at the far end of the house. Both devices started to break up to the point of no sound when I reached the kitchen on the other end of the house (1700 sqft house). The 730 model started going choppy at around the 25 ft range. The 700 model seems to stay consistently clear up until no signal, and then cuts off. The 700 model is also superior when it comes to reconnecting. With the 700 model you can go in and out of range, and it reconnects fluidly. This is my only real complaint with the 730 model. Once it completely disconnects, you are forced to walk all the way back to the cell phone for it to reconnect. For someone who wasn't carrying their phone on their person, I could see where this could be annoying.Now for sound quality. The 730 is far superior to the 700 model. The 700 model is decent, but sounds flat--noticeably so. I went from listening to the 730 model to the 700 model, and it literally sounded like there was a damper on the music. The same was true for voices on calls. The 730 model came in rich and clear--with a dynamic range in sounds. I'm not super picky when it comes to speaker sound, but I'm pretty impressed by the 730 model. The 700 model is about what you'd expect from simple speakers.As far as calls--on both devices no one asked if they were on speaker phone, or complained about sounding strange.Ways the 730 model differs from the 700 model. The 730 model speaks to you (along with vibration)--telling you if you're out of range, connected, and the battery power level. This to me isn't important, and can be a little annoying if your device keeps disconnecting and connecting--which won't be a problem if your phone is on your person. It is nice knowing the battery level though. The 700 model conveys the same things with beeps and no vibration. Far less annoying, but doesn't tell you of battery power level.In summary:The 700 model is quite a good device if you are not concerned with the quality of sound. If you plan on being away from your phone on a regular basis, and are predominately using this device for work calls--this is probably the device for you. It is also a good device if you plan on just listening to audio books (like myself), or you don't mind your music sounding dampened.The 730 model is great for sound, and for the user that has their phone continually on their person. As long as your phone is with you--it has all the pros and none of the cons of the 700.As far as reliability--I've only had these devices for 24 hours. I haven't run into any problems yet--like a lot of the reviews are speaking of. I will update my review if I notice any faults in either device.

I was selected to try out the the LG Tone+ and I really like it. I tried the LG Tone last year and the changes that were made to the new model are definite improvements. For instance, in the older version you wouldn't know how much battery charge was left on the headset but with this version it alerts you right as you turn it on to the charge of the battery. They also improved the sound quality which helps if you are using it to listen to music. My music sounded great through the headset. I mainly use mine if I am talking on the phone and trying to multi-task around the house, cleaning, doing laundry etc. I also like using it while working out at the gym because I don't need to have my iPod strapped to my arm, just have the headset (headphones basically) and I can control all my songs, volume, etc. right on the device! The only thing that could be a downside was the range of the device. When using it while talking on my phone I noticed a little bit of static as I walked (several rooms) away from my phone. This could be in part because I have a really old phone but for the most part as long as you have it within a room distance of the device the signal is clear. When using it I also have notice the people on the other line do not even notice I am using it. When I turn the speaker on on my phone it is really annoying for those on the other end, but that is not the case when using the LG Tone! All in all it is probably my favorite Blue Tooth device.

A colleague in my office has the HBS 700 (previous version) headset and after playing with it for a while, I decided to go the same route. When I saw there was a newer version, I decided to go for it. That was a mistake. If you've read the reviews of the black version here on Amazon, you can get the gist of the experience. When the phone (iPhone 4S in my case) is close to the headset - in my shirt pocket or on my desk while I'm working - it's great. The sound quality is good and the volume is very acceptable. My collar size is 20" and these fit ny neck just fine.BUT - holy cow - the cutting in and out is awful! If the phone is in my pocket, or I get 10 feet away and turn my head, the sound cuts out. In the car, my phone sits on the passenger seat usually charging. If I'm on a call and turn my head to check my side mirror, for example, the sound cuts out. I, too, contacted LG and they told me they had no reports of problems. I directed them to the Amazon reviews and the reviews on their own website (which I saw after purchasing) and was told they were not "official" and thus ignored.I do like the style and feel of the headset, so I am probably going to buy a pair of the HBS 700's to try out and see how that goes.The LG HBS 730 is definitely not recommended.
