LG Tone Infinim (HBS-900) Headphones Review

LG Tone Infinim Bluetooth Headset comes with a slim, ergonomic design. These retractable earphones are quite flexible and light. Their ergonomics have got better as compared to Tone Ultra. The on/off slider is easier to toggle and volume and playback controls are way easier to use than the controls on the Tone Ultra. The retractable earbuds are a special feature of these headphones as they stay in place for hours and offer comfortable fit.

Let’s explore its features:

Design

The overall design of LG Tone Infinim may not appeal to everyone. These headphones sit around the neck and its retractable cables extend up to ears. These are a secure fit that eliminates tangled cables. The eartips fit well on their own and are also free of the pull of gravity on long cables. The left side houses Volume controls that work together with your phone’s volume controls. On the left side, there is also a call answer/end button and the micro USB connection. On the right side, a single Play/Pause button is on the top and along the outside, is a sliding track navigation control.

Sound Quality

As the headphones have a nice and thick bass line and clear highs, you will enjoy your favorite music tracks in the best quality. In short, they come with superior music and voice quality.
