I'm David Cardo and I'm going to give you a quick tour of the LG tone ultra this is also referred to as the HBS 800 and it is the third generation of LG's popular tone stereo Bluetooth headsets this models more of a departure from the previous two models it has a new design a couple of extra features and LG has partnered up with JBL to give it a JBL sound signature so it does offer improve sound some of the key differences in the design the headset now is bent a little bit so it rests more easily on your neck this is designed to sit on your neck it is a comfortable headset it also has different shaped buttons the previous model had all circular button so it was a little bit harder to operate by feel this one has friends and say call answer and button that is shaped like a phone and last but not least the cord has been thickened up a bit as well as the little piece that attaches it to the neck band all in all it's a more sturdy design and the cords don't tangle up as much another small design worth mentioning is the size of the LED light in previous models that was a kind of a bright light that pulsated and bothered a lot of people LG has reduced the size of it so it's only a small tiny light one of the key feature additions of the headset is noise canceling technology you flip a little switch and you're supposed to get some noise cancellation didn't really work for me I really didn't notice the difference but that is a new key feature this model like other tone models the tips adhere magnetically to the front of the headset when you're not in use so they store there and that works well it really is a nice design in terms of sound quality is improved this does offer bigger bass although a little more clarity so on all fuller richer sound not a huge difference but definitely noticeable and it does offer good sound free in-ear bluetooth headphone so when you add it all up the ultra is definitely the best version of the tone stereo bluetooth headsets out there but the only problem is it's price tag right now at launch its going for right near its list price of a hundred and thirty dollars when you have the earlier versions going for closer to fifty dollars it's hard to justify the premium that you get for the added features and better sound and the better design but when it does come down in price this will definitely be a recommendable stereo Bluetooth headset I'm David Carr Noy thanks for watching
