LG unveils Tone Infinim Bluetooth headset

LG has teamed up with Harman-Kardon to come up with their new wireless headset dubbed as the LG Tone Infinim (HBS-900).

The Tone Infinim dons a similar design as its predecessor, the LG Tone (HBS-700), albeit less sporty and more sophisticated. It also inherits the retractable wire scheme, allowing to users to hang the band on their neck and extend the cable when they’re using it.

LG claims that although the HBS-900 will work on any Android device, it’s best suited for use with upcoming LG G3 because they’ve added an extra feature called Answer Me+ which automatically terminates the connection between the headset and smartphone when it detects that the handset is placed on the users ear to take a call.

Moreover, the LG Tone Infinim is touted to provide up to 17 hours’ worth of talk time and 14 hours of play time on a single full charge. This is a huge improvement over the previous model which can only last for 10 hours.

LG Tone Infinim key specs:

• Bluetooth Chip: CSR8645
• Bluetooth Version: 3.0
• Bluetooth Profile: A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, HSP
• Talk/Play Time: 17 hours/14 hours
• Standby Time: 550 hours
• Battery: 220mAh
• Microphone: Single MEMS
• Color: Silver (other colors to be announced later)
• Connector: Micro USB

The new LG Tone Infinim is slated to hit the shelves starting next month in “major markets around the world”, we’re not sure though if our country is included on LG’s list. There’s currently no word about its SRP, but it’ll probably have the same price tag (USD69.99) as its predecessor.

Jabra Clear first impressions

Bob Freking Leave a comment

Some people just look for quality sound without compromising looks with all those tangling wires. Today, we have the Jabra Clear in our hands, a wireless Bluetooth solution for all those people out there. Let’s take it for a spin and see our first impressions after the break.

Jabra Clear

Well, the first time we got our hands on the Clear, we didn’t notice the size. Instead, we noticed the simplicity of its looks. All that there is are the essentials. There’s the ear hook, the micro USB port for charging, the power switch, the volume rocker, and of course the earpiece. There’s also this multipurpose button which can unpair devices, take calls and all the usual stuff.

One thing about the device is that it’s small. It didn’t become so obvious at first, but when we tried to keep it away after use, we were afraid that it could get crushed in our pockets or just get lost.

Enough on the looks; let’s talk about audio. Sound was averagely loud for the most part, and it didn’t block the whole ear and it was quite comfortable up to a certain extent. It’s certainly not for music, as the experience obviously isn’t cut out for it. However, from the name of the product itself, it is clear.

The microphone on the bottom did a great job as well as audio was clear and audible.

Ever since we charged the battery fully, we have not drained it yet for a day of moderate use. We surely don’t think that anyone could wear it for a long time as it gets irritating after a long while.

Jabra Clear w/ Box

To wrap it all up, we have to say it’s a fine piece of hardware. Of course, it can’t be avoided that it is this small, because larger headsets would tend to be uncomfortable and weird looking. The Jabra Clear retails for more or less Php2,000 – so I guess it’s up to you if you wanna grab one for yourselves. For us, it’s a thumbs up and a win-win situation.
