LG Stereo Headset

I just got my headset today, & I'm very happy with it - especially considering the price. The sound quality 4 both music & phone calls seems 2 be just as good as what I got with the headset I originally purchased from Verizon. Even with the cost of shipping, it was still less expensive 2 purchase it through amazon than 2 try 2 buy a replacement from Verizon (plus Verizon couldn't guarantee that the headsets they had in store would be compatible with my phone...er, I wasn't asking them 4 complex nuclear equations...just which headset was the right replacement 4 the phone I had in hand...still couldn't help me.)

The only draw-back is that it didn't come with foam ear buds (is that what they're called?? ear buds? eary booties? anyway...) Not a big deal, since I generally don't use them anyway.

This product works pretty well. The sound is clear, the headset is comfortable, & the clip on the mic makes it really easy 2 clip onto your seatbelt while driving. However, I've had complaints from the people I talk 2 that the sound they hear isn't that clear. Other than that, it's a great headset - especially 4 the price.

First, I'd recommend reading all of the reviews 4 the LG Chocolate headphones which are identical 2 this except that they fit a standard 2.5mm headphone jack port & are silver, where these are specifically 4 those LG phones that have no such port such as my VX8700. I've found that all of the positive statements about the versatility of that setup are equally true 4 this one, right down 2 being able 2 plug into an input port on your car stereo (if equipped) 2 play through your auto stereo speakers hands-free & still be able 2 take & place calls.

That said I have some specific comments about the so-called "throwaway" earbuds that come with this set-- primarily that they are far better than they seem at first with but one small addition. Initially I had problems fitting them into my ear & they'd fall out if I even turned my head. While relatively clear, or at least as clear as my Sony Fontopia buds, they were lacking in bass 4 tracks that require good bass response such as Journey, The Eagles, Enya, or virtually all movie sound tracks(especially John Williams!). However, I took the little foam cover "booties" off of the Creative earbuds that came with my Zen & VOILA! they not only would stay comfortably in my ears but had greatly increased bass response with very little loss in midrange & high-end clarity! IMO they are now as good as the Sennheiser CX300 (bass as good without the tinniness, though not quite as clear midrange & highs) & better than the Fontopias or SP630's all-around. Nowhere near as good as CX500's or my monster supra-aural Sennheiser headphones, of course, but as good as anything I've tried in the $50 earbud class & better than most, & that's awesome condidering the price. So try some foam earbud covers before condemning these buds & springing 4 more expensive ones.

Overall I give this item a "100" on it's report card 4 it's price, versatility, & quality given it's intended purpose.

I purchased the wrong headset 4 my cellphone - I emailed the supplier & asked 4 their assistance. I received a generic reply which was of no help & was told I only had 10 days 2 send the item 2 them No Refund would be given - a store credit.

I got this headset because it says its compatible with the vx9900. It is not compatible with the vx9900. The only way you can get sound 2 come through the headphones is by holding the answer button on the adapter plug, otherwise it just plays through the built in speaker on the phone. When the sound comes through it sounds great. I would have given this 5 stars had it been compatible with the vx9900.

This Stereo Earbud Headset allows you 2 enjoy stereo sound, from music or video, directly from your phone (Where service is available). The headset features a built-in microphone & volume control. The audio will mute automatically 4 incoming calls; simply press the button on the headset & start talking. (For safety reason while driving, please remove one of the earpieces)
