Joshua Vergara got a chance to check out the new LG Tone Platinum Bluetooth headphones, so are they any good?

Strong Bluetooth connection; Good controls

Design is subjective; Highs are faint

I received these in May and everything was great until I tried to use them on a call. Everyone I talked to said I sounded extremely far away and couldn't hear me at all. I got them replaced and the second pair had the same exact issue.

I have been purchasing Lg Tone headsets annually since the HBS 700 was released. Love the HBS 1100 but very disappointed in the construction of the next band. The band is coming apart due to the repeated flexing from putting the headset on.

Style/Design; Features/Settings; Performance

This works great. Sounds amazing. Does not reach 33ft without static. More like 8 ft. The voice answering is extremely shotty. But it's very satisfying otherwise. Sound quality is fantastic.

The design and build quality are nice, but the sound quality for music is not good. Much worse than the HBS-900s. Weak bass and muffled highs. Sent mine back and got a refund. Very disappointing considering the price. I guess if you don't care that much about music sound quality, they're OK....

As a big fan of the previous LG tone models, I couldn't wait for this product to be released. The sound quality is excellent for both calls and music and the controls are much improved over past models.

Quality; Easy To Use; Performance; Style/Design

I would rather buy something else for the same price..

In our opinion, the LG TONE Platinum is one of the better Bluetooth headphone offerings out there. LG does both design and sound so well. The around-the-neck band may not be for everyone, but we suggest considering it. The ergonomics of the TONE series just works.
