LG Electronics Gruve Bluetooth Stereo Headset - Retail Packaging - Black

***UPDATE 2/28/20: IT'S A SHAME THEY DON'T MAKE THESE ANYMORE! Ultimately my LGs suffered an inevitable fate of physical damage. I have not been able to locate a similar value in headphones. I continue to try different brands and stiles but nothing beats the price point and value of these.***I don't write many reviews, but when I do, it's because a product made a certain impact in my life. I have tried many combination of both wireless and corded headphones from prices ranging between $25 and $350. For less than $50, you simply just cannot beat the LG HBS-600. The sound clarity and bass exceed the performance of corded pieces of much higher price points. The battery life is a complete separate piece of greatness. I can literally take these to the gym every day and jam at 90% volume for 1hr sessions for up to 2 weeks before I need to plug them in. They are also very versatile. For a full over-the-ear headset, they are not bulky and or obnoxious, they are the perfect size IMO. I use them for making phone calls, listening to music, and online gaming. If you are not convinced by the other reviews yet, BUY IT RIGHT NOW.

Positive: Sound is good, easy to pair with the notorious LG TVs (which don't accept anything else but LG headsets), long battery life, fairly fast charging.Negative: Range is poor, 3-4 meters max and make sure there is nothing inbetween you and the TV. And then there is this tiny hinge which is an iron bolt held in a very shoddy plastic bearing. Any engineer with a tiny bit of brain knows that even the hardest plastic loses structural integrity if a moving part is putting torque on it. In it's opened position while on your head there is a CONSTANT pressure on that hinge. So it HAS to fail, no matter what. If LG could sort out this little design flaw and improve the Bluetooth range by 2-3 meters then this would be an A+ product.

Ok Bluetooth headphones. The sound quality and range of the headphones is great but can be super uncomfortable after a while. The headphones get super uncomfortable for me after an hour of use. They start hurting my ears and head. I bought them to use with my laptop for when I'm studying for a class at my University. I would recommend spending a little extra to buy better more comfortable wireless headphones if you plan on using them for long periods of time.

This is the best set of headphones i have used so far! Compared to other models such as Sony and even the way overpriced Dre Beats this offers great sound for a reasonable price! Just as important the LG headsets have not once disconnected like the sony models or Dre beats set I had which were constantly disconnecting from my iPhone 5. The LG model even speaks when you turn it on telling you the rechargeable batteries power level and that it is connected to the phone you use it on it also says when it is out of range too which is rather far. I can't say enough good things but I highly recommend these LG headphones!

This headset's construction is defective. While the sound is very good for the price, and the microphone works extremely well the headband is very fragile. I had mine for less than 2 months and the headband already broke where the plastic side housings for the metal slides for the earpieces connect to the upper head flexiband. The plastic fatigued and gave out which has rendered them useless as headphones.Buy something else.

Revised after 2 years:My LG Gruve headphones just broke. The plastic portion has a stress point where the padding begins and simply putting them on this morning, the plastic broke. This coupled with the fact that they're fairly uncomfortable after an hour of wearing has lead me to lower my original glowing review. Great sound, poor construction and design.Original review:Excellent set of headphones. I find it hard to find decent sounding headphones but these sound great. The Apt-X codec is pretty good. It has clearer highs than the old SBC codec - although the highs can get a bit raspy at times. They fit well, aren't too heavy, good range on the bluetooth. I am SUPER impressed by what LG has put together in these phones.Minor quibbles: the plug-in jack (for use without bluetooth) is VERY poorly isolated so that any time anything touches or rubs the cord the sound is coupled into the headphones and you hear it rather loudly. Second: the default EQ is a bass-boost mode that puts out way too much bass. Luckily it's easy to switch back to flat, but why is bass-boost the default?

I owned several sets of bluetooth headphones many years back and was never terribly impressed with any of them. Recently I decided to give them another shot, figuring bluetooth has come along way since then. My plan was to use them while walking to and from work. There is plenty of traffic noise, so finding top notch audio quality wasn't a high priority. I wanted something relatively small and without an obnoxious blinking light. My first attempt was basically unusable. The streaming quality was terrible. It glitched and cutout with unreasonable frequency. I started the think that maybe bluetooth headphone still have a way to go.Walking home one day, I found myself waiting at a corner with a guy wearing a pair of bluetooth headphones. I asked what they were and if he liked them. I also told him my tail of woe with the set I'd recently bought. He said he owned several pairs, was familiar with the terrible audio quality I experienced, but was quite happy with the set he was wearing. That was good enough for me, I decided to get back in the ring.I've had these for several weeks now and used them daily. They are exactly what I wanted: small, compact, decent sound, and minimal skipping/glitching. At the end of the day, it is still bluetooth, so there are some interruptions, but they are infrequent and it is totally worth the tradeoff to be rid of the headphone wire.

ok bon produit

El producto funciona de maravilla y se acopla a los transmisores de bluetooth utilizados en tvs que no cuentan con la tecnología. Se conecta inmediatamente y suena excelente. para complementar con mi lg g5.

Seems to work just fine. Sound is loud and very clear. It will not sync with lg tv but will just use a dongle. Have seen at lower price but am still happy.

Works well,but it shipped from China, and packaging was in Chinese. The prompts on the headphones are in Chinese too!Cannot change to English.

Good price, fast delivery! Sound is not clear.
