How to connect wireless Bluetooth headphones to your TV. How to connect wireless Bluetooth headphones to a TV Appearance, design features

For a long time I didn’t want to sit down to write this article, and not even because I was lazy, but just a topic with connection bluetooth headphones very dark for Smart TVs. It all started when I bought myself Bluetooth headphones and connected them to my Philips TV, which runs Android TV. Everything connected very simply and without problems. I thought why not write detailed instructions for connecting wireless headphones to TVs. Moreover, many modern televisions have Bluetooth support.

But somehow I didn’t really want to write only about Philips TVs, so I decided to do general instructions, and show how you can connect Bluetooth headphones to LG, Samsung and Sony TVs. There as I don’t have these TVs, and check everything on personal experience I can’t, so I started looking for information on the Internet. And then it began. If Philips and Sony TVs that run on Android TV connect without problems with wireless headphones, then LG with webOS and Samsung Smart TV there is a complete mess.

It is clear that the TV must have a built-in bluetooth adapter. But you probably know that almost all TVs work only with original devices (cameras, adapters, remotes, etc.). It's about the same story with headphones. You can easily connect an original Bluetooth stereo headset to LG and Samsung TVs. But regular headphones It's unlikely to connect. But it depends on the TV model, series, firmware version, year of production and God knows what else. The mess is such that after studying this topic for several hours, my brain boiled.

It seems that new Samsung TV models can already connect any Bluetooth headphones. There is also a service menu where you can try to enable support for this function. But again, it all depends on the series and model. LG has about the same story. And if you believe LG support, then you can only connect original headphones. But again, not on all models.

To avoid confusion, I will divide this article into three sections. I’ll tell you about each manufacturer separately. I'll show you how you can try connecting Bluetooth headphones in the TV settings.

In order not to waste time, I advise you to immediately make sure that your TV has built-in Bluetooth (if you have a Smart TV, then most likely yes). In some models it must be connected with a separate proprietary adapter. You can see the characteristics of your model on the official website.

If your TV does not have Bluetooth, or it flatly refuses to see headphones, then you can use a special one that connects to the 3.5 mm output of the TV (it is also possible to connect via RCA (tulip) or optical audio output), and headphones are already connected to it. I will tell you more about such adapters at the end of the article. (or read the article about Bluetooth transmitters at the link above).

Bluetooth headphones + Philips and Sony TVs on Android TV

Since I have a Philips TV (Philips model 43PUS7150/12 on Android TV), and I successfully paired it with my JBL E45BT headphones, then first of all I’ll tell you about this platform.

Important! I have no way to check the connection on Sony TV. But, since Sony also uses Android TV as a Smart TV platform, I think that everything will work. I hope they didn’t put restrictions on connecting Bluetooth devices.

Go to Android menu TV and at the very bottom select "Wired and Wireless Networks".

The TV will display a message that you need to turn on the device and place it at a distance of up to 5 meters. Turn on your headphones and press the "Search" button. The headphones must be in connection mode. The blue Bluetooth light should flash. If it does not blink, then most likely you need to press and hold the power button, or a separate button with the corresponding icon.

The TV needs to see our headphones. Select them and click "Connect".

The sound from the TV started playing through the headphones. You can manage them in the TV settings. "Remove device" item. There you can disable or remove the wireless headset.

After turning on the power to my headphones, the sound from the TV speakers immediately goes to them. When I turn off the headphones, the built-in speakers sound.

We've sorted out these TVs. If you have anything to add, or have any questions, write in the comments.

Connecting Bluetooth headphones to a Samsung TV

Let's move on to Samsung TVs, which have complete confusion on this topic. As I already wrote at the beginning of the article, it seems that new models of certain series support connecting Bluetooth headphones from any manufacturer. At least I saw a video where to the TV J series connected Beats headphones without any problems.

I don’t know what Samsung TV you have, what firmware it has, Smart TV version, etc., but I advise you to try it. What if everything works out and works.

Connect: Open your TV settings. Go to the "Sound" - "Speaker Settings" section. Turn on your Bluetooth headphones and place them next to the TV. They must be in connected mode. Blue indicator should flash. Select "Bluetooth Headphone List".

If you do not have the “List of Bluetooth headphones” item, or it is inactive, then you can try activating it in the service menu of the TV. More on this below in the article.

Appearance the menu may vary slightly.

Select them and the devices will be paired. The sound from the Samsung TV will be transmitted via Bluetooth to the headphones. If you turn them off, the sound will come through the TV speakers.

For K series TVs

In the settings you need to open the “Sound” section, then “Select speaker” and “Bluetooth Audio”.

Activating the "List of Bluetooth headphones" section in the service menu

I will not describe the whole process, but will simply add a video in which the author explains and shows everything in detail. There you can see the entire connection process.

If you succeeded using service menu enable Bluetooth headphone support on Samsung TV, then write about it in the comments to this article, and don’t forget to say thank you to the author of this video.

Let me remind you that a lot depends on the series and model of your TV. If it doesn’t work, then you can describe your case in the comments, or use the solution that I will talk about at the end of this article.

How to connect Bluetooth headphones to LG TV

It's a pity that I don't have an LG TV on webOS to check everything myself. There is not much information on this topic on the Internet. But as far as I understand, LG’s connection to Bluetooth devices is even more complicated. Can only be connected original devices. That is, original LG headphones, soundbar, etc. This can be done in the settings, in the “Sound” section – “LG sound sync (wireless)”.

And even if your TV model has built-in Bluetooth, it is used primarily to connect the remote control and other branded devices.

You can also try connecting your headset using this scheme:

These are instructions from the official website. But as far as I understand, only branded headsets are connected this way.

Connecting Bluetooth devices via the LG TV Plus app

For Android and iOS there is an application called LG TV Plus. It is designed to control LG TVs that run webOS.

It seems like this application has something to do with it, right? But I found a video that shows how to LG TV Plus you can connect almost any Bluetooth device to your LG TV. Including headphones and speaker. I just can’t say for sure which version of webOS has this feature. It looks like it's from webOS 3.0.

How it works: install LG TV Plus on a smartphone or tablet. Go to the application and connect to your TV. In the application settings there is a section "Bluetooth Agent". Through this agent you can connect wireless headphones to LG TV.

Here is the video (about the function "Bluetooth Agent" from 3:48) :

If there is no TV Bluetooth, or headphones do not connect: solution

There are devices such as Bluetooth transmitters. They can be used not only with TVs, but also with other devices. Their task is to take sound from the TV via cable (from 3.5 mm, RCA, or optical output) and transmit via Bluetooth to any wireless headphones.

They look something like this:

This is a universal solution for almost any TV, even an old one. It is enough to connect the cable from the transmitter to the headphone output of the TV and connect your headset to the transmitter. These adapters are usually powered by a built-in battery. USB cable included for power supply/charging. If your TV has a USB port, you can connect the adapter to it.

Conclusions

As it turned out, only TVs working on Android system TV allows you to easily connect Bluetooth headsets and outputs sound to them. For such popular manufacturers as LG and Samsung, everything is very ambiguous in this regard. There are certain series and models on which the function is implemented Bluetooth connections headphones. And LG still can't give users the ability to choose the Bluetooth devices they want to connect to their TVs. And do not limit them only to branded accessories.

In any case, you can always buy an inexpensive transmitter and output sound wirelessly using it. Yes it is additional costs and inconvenience in the form of another device, but if there is no other way, then the solution is not bad.

    Lavrishko Dmitry- November 10, 2018

    fulfills its functions: it “keeps” connection with the phone well, notifies about a critical distance from it and “picks up” without any problems. The connection quality is good - before purchasing I read that the volume was not enough...

    Advantages:

    price, build quality

    Flaws:

    The earpiece is not very comfortable - I had to bend it, which made it impossible to wear it on the other ear if necessary. scanty included manual. discrepancy with the stated capabilities in the downloaded from the office. site manual - I can’t check the charge level, I can’t turn on the operation indication.

  • Headset AUDIO-TECHNICA, on-ear, black, wireless bluetooth ATH-ANC50IS

    from 5400

    poliakov vitali - January 9, 2018

    Advantages:

    1. Good system noise reduction
    2. Good passive isolation from external noise.
    3. Color
    4. The sound is not bad, especially the bass, headphones with amplification produce dense bass

    Flaws:

    Further disappointment from this product of the Chinese and Japanese marketers, damn them!
    !Very flimsy design! On the first day, when carrying it in my hand, in the case that was included, from the subway to the house, the latch of the battery compartment cover broke. In the first hour of use!!! He didn’t make any effort, carried it in his hand, didn’t drop it, didn’t knock it. Well, I sealed it with tape. The bow looks and feels very weak and flimsy, I'll write later how long it lasts, but I think I'll have to get acquainted with epoxy soon.
    Active noise cancellation does a good job of dampening low frequencies and crowd noise, while adding its own sound. Who thinks that absolutely nothing will be heard, this is not so...

  • Headset JBL E65BTNC, on-ear, black, wireless bluetooth JBLE65BTNCBLK

    from 6432

    Maxim - August 24, 2019

    Without removing the headphones, you can answer calls; there is a built-in microphone, through which my interlocutors can hear me perfectly. The ear pads are wide enough to cover the entire ear and have powerful noise reduction, so external sounds don't interfere. There is no cord here, without it it is more convenient to wear on the street, movements are not limited, they are connected via Bluetooth. The sound is quite clear and spacious, listening to music is a pleasure. Disadvantages: Battery is weak. Pros: Control music with one finger on the case, sound quality.

  • Headset SENNHEISER CX 7.00BT In-Ear, in-ear, black, wireless bluetooth 507357

- August 22, 2015

Definitely recommended for purchase, but don't expect miracles for this price. Beware of Chinese counterfeits on Ebay and Aliexpress. The fakes are similar to the point of indistinguishability; they are only distinguished by poor sound quality and a very short battery life. It is basically impossible to check this when purchasing online. An official retail chain should be preferred. Watch and listen before purchasing.

Advantages:

Excellent quality sound (music and voice transmission, microphone) as for a compact wireless headset, long time battery life, fast charging, excellent fit on the neck, comfortable and distinct control buttons, multi-point, stylish design, Bluetooth 4.1 LE. The connection is quite stable.

Flaws:

The size of the earplugs themselves is too large, this applies to both their body and the rubber ear pads. They come in 3 sizes, but even the smallest ones are too big for my ears. There could have been a little more bass, especially considering the large size of the speakers themselves. There is no active noise reduction system, which greatly interferes with conversations in windy weather or noisy places. The range is short, no more than 4 meters, but in principle more is not needed.

Period of use:

several months

    The multi-button is a nightmare. Substructure construction in Korean. The fact is that it has 3 functions at once: on/off, play/pause and dial last call. You need to calculate the pressing time. If you want to turn it off, but did not time the press, the last number is dialed. If you want to press play, it's the same thing. It’s very awkward later in front of friends: I have to explain that “every year on December 31, my friends and I go to the bathhouse.” The worst thing is if you have to explain about the multi-button at night or early in the morning to a very important person. If you communicate a lot on the phone with important people, then in all seriousness, refuse to buy this headset. But for me personally, the most important thing is sound quality. It is at its best, considering that this is a junior model with a “junior” price. The battery lasts a long time. Signal reception distance: 10 m indoors, 15 m outdoors. The headphones do not press or pop out, and you can move your head freely. By the way, this thing can read incoming SMS in Russian - very convenient. I give it a 4 for the sneaky multi-button.

    Advantages:

    decent sound quality
    stylish appearance
    ease of landing
    capacious battery

    Flaws:

    multi-button "on/off/play/call"

    Period of use:

    I mostly listen to audiobooks while walking. I almost always use only one earphone, the second one always got in the way, dangled, slipped, etc. This is not the case here. The adjustable length of the wire is convenient, nothing dangles. The sound is quite satisfactory. So far I like it better than the previous SBH50 headset: subjectively more convenient (there are several nice features), it loads faster, holds a charge longer, charges faster. The reason for the replacement was that the clip was broken. I wanted to buy a proven headset, because... Everything was fine, but I decided to experiment with another manufacturer - I was not disappointed.

    Advantages:

    Design, low weight, ease of operation (read the instructions), enough good sound in conjunction with the Xperia Z1 (subjectively), ease of wearing and use. Holds a charge for a long time and charges quickly. Sound notifications about the charge level, about establishing a connection with the phone, about a call and when a call ends.

    Flaws:

    Sometimes the sound stutters - I don’t know why. There is a suspicion that the interlocutors do not hear me very well during a telephone conversation.

    less than a month

    Well, in general, everything is great for the money, but the sound... 4 - in a relatively quiet place, 3+ - in the subway, etc. Places. Hisses at high levels, so -0.5.
    By the way, when checking, put in your own embrouds, otherwise the ones out of the box are the smallest ones - the sound in them is not comme il faut.

    Advantages:

    Ergonomics, appearance, sound (in its category)

    I immediately write what interested me when I read the reviews but could not find it anywhere. I use the headset with Iphone 6plus!
    Due to the closed nature of iOS, there are no proprietary functions that are implemented through a proprietary program on Android - reading SMS and something else, but! A single click launches Siri, which, in principle, you can ask and call whoever you need and send or read an SMS, so as a result the functionality does not suffer much.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the sound, I listen to podcasts (I hardly listen to music), the quality is excellent - better than my Sony earplugs. Noise insulation on the smallest ear pads is good; in the subway you can hear everything without any problems, no complaints.

    One of the nice features is an icon with the charge level in the phone status bar, as well as in the top drop-down menu it is shown as a percentage - a small thing, but a nice one. Once it happened that at first it showed a charge of 30%, and then very quickly it was discharged to 2% and the headset turned off, but considering that before that I used the headset for 3 days (about 3 hours a day in listening mode), I think that anyway, she has the right battery.

    Advantages:

    Weight, ease of use, sound quality, instant and strong connection, operating time.

    Flaws:

    play\pause by double click instead of single, which is not obvious.

    Period of use:

    I spent a long time choosing from different types of headsets, but settled on these. they are comfortable, they don’t stick out of the ear like when wearing gill-type headsets, they don’t catch the eye of others, the interlocutor hears well, if your ear is tired, you can simply remove the earphone and attach it to the magnet at the tip, I usually go with one earphone, but if I want music, I insert the other, the charge is enough for a whole day of listening at an average load. I bought it to talk while driving, considering that I have a 7-inch phablet, a good way out of this situation is to not have to hold the bandura to your ear. I advise.

    Advantages:

    comfortable, compact, quality build.

    The controls are simple, everything you need is there, including scrolling through tracks. The collar is not felt on the neck and does not press, although I don’t even like scarves. They look flimsy, but this is due to the fact that they weigh almost nothing.

    These are already the third decent-sounding bl headphones, and so far they

    Advantages:

    Sound!
    Of course, it’s useless to expect super bass for heavy music from plugs (better buy a subwoofer), but the mids and highs are very good. (and if you put the plugs in your ears well, then the quality low frequencies also increases greatly, to a pleasant level. That’s how I listen.) The voice sounds very beautiful. And an aria from the queen of the night with a super high voice, and Buddhist throat mantras with low, booming voices. The sound is spacious, you can feel it on good recordings.

    Flaws:

    As I understand it, the phone needs to support sound transmission with good quality. otherwise there's no point. Huge nozzles included. The smallest ones are already standing. (I bought a set of attachments of all sizes separately for pennies)

    I would like more bass. However, even in this form, ears are worth everything. I recommend!

    Advantages:

    Light on ears, excellent sound for earplugs, battery life is an honest 7 hours, instantly connects to the phone.

    Flaws:

    To connect to the laptop, you need to disconnect from the phone. After connecting the laptop, we connect the smart one - otherwise the computer does not see the headset.

    As a music lover who listens to music all the time, I am delighted with the headphones! No damn wires! I got used to it for about a week. I didn’t listen to music before because I was too lazy to take out headphones and it wasn’t always convenient. Now I “always” wear them!
    Device: Lumia820 on Win10
    Sound +++++++++
    And on the Android tablet there is distorted sound (

    Advantages:

    The sound is the best, comfort (sometimes I forget that I’m wearing them), operating and charging time, functionality...

    Flaws:

    I've been using it for about 2-3 months:
    The “mesh” covering the speaker came off (I glued it with super glue and I’m happy), there are no “embraces” included...

    Previously I used 730s and these sound better. Initially I thought they were quiet, but it turned out that I increased the sound almost incorrectly (it was a little more convenient on the 730), but after setting it up once, then adjusting it on the phone. P.S. Excellent headphones. I bought the 730s and never regretted it, but here the sound is much better.

    Advantages:

    Excellent sound, bluetooth 4.1 (I don’t have time to turn it on before it connects right away)

    Flaws:

    Turning on the power (on the 730 they didn’t turn on themselves, but on these ones it happens)

    I put it on, hooked it up to the phone, turned on the music and went. Everything is simple and intuitive. I only needed to consult the instructions once: to understand how to connect 2 devices to the headset at once (phone and laptop). Everything works.
    Lives stably for several days, charges quickly. Recommended for anyone who is tired of getting tangled up in wires and regularly taking their phone out of their pocket.
    P.S. Can be used as HandsFree in the car.

    Advantages:

    Comfortable, fast headset. Good sound quality (although I'm not a music lover, so this is a subjective opinion). The wires do not rub against clothing while moving, so there is a minimum of extraneous noise.

    Flaws:

    From a series of quibbles:
    1) If you pull the wire, the ring that holds it on the collar flies out. You can lose it.
    2) You need to get used to the controls. For example, double-clicking "Plus" switches to the next song. Because of this, you cannot quickly increase the volume. On the other hand, if you press the button too quickly 2 times in a row, the headset will only perceive one press.

    I bought the headset mainly to listen to music. Sound quality came first. Bright stereo effect, sound purity, lows in place. There is plenty of volume to spare. I use it in tandem with galaxy s5. I didn’t even expect this from wireless headphones. Very pleased with the purchase.

    Advantages:

    Very good sound, comfortable to wear, looks stylish, reads SMS.

    It's just not very convenient controls.

    The sound is acceptable, the quality of data transfer and connection speed are high. Particularly pleasing is the ability to connect to several devices at once.

    It looks like a slave collar, but people are not yet accustomed to sufficiently progressive thinking.

    You have to constantly think about the fact that it is running low and there is no way to connect via a wire, which would undoubtedly be convenient.

    The charging port is positioned in such a way that it is impossible to use and charge at the same time, which in my opinion is a serious design flaw considering how easily this could have been avoided.

    Cannot be folded compactly.

    Overall I like it. The price is quite low, while the sound quality is not the worst, and the convenience of a wireless headset is simply indescribable.

    Advantages:

    Sound quality
    - Connection speed

    Flaws:

    Appearance
    - Discharges quickly
    - Charging port location
    - Impossibility of wired connection

    If you listen to rock, metal, etc. music - pass by.

    Firstly, there is no bass at all. The equalizer on the playback device helps a little, but it is very far from acceptable sound. (Up to this point, I had been using different Sennheizer plugs for about 10 years. CX300, CX400, CX275-S, CX870)

    Secondly, at high volumes and very rich music they begin to wheeze, and it seems that it is not the headphones, but interference on the Bluetooth channel that appears. When the distance to the phone is 1.5 meters and fully charged battery

    If you listen to electronics or acoustics, there are no complaints, no interference and clear sound at any volume.

    Advantages:

    Lightweight, comfortable, almost instant connection. Multipoint. Price.

    Despite the disadvantages, I really liked the headset.

    Advantages:

    The operating time stated by the manufacturer is fully justified. We worked for 5 days, of which 8 hours were playing music. More precisely, they turned on just for these 8 hours out of these 5 days.
    Low frequencies are quite sufficient. There is an equalizer with 3 presets (turned on by holding down both volume buttons) after turning off the last selected one is saved.
    It is very comfortable to wear the headset. If regular headphones need to constantly tighten the wire so that there is no feeling that the headphones will fly out of the ears at the slightest turn of the head, then this is not the case here. You can twist your head as far as your neck allows and the headphones won’t fall out because the cable might get caught somewhere.

    Flaws:

    When an obstacle appears between the sound source and the headset, for example, arms folded on the chest, short stuttering occurs.
    Three buttons are still not enough for comfortable control. Everything has to be done by double-clicking (switching tracks, pausing). Again, a pause configured for a double press instead of a single press is far from convenient. Voice dialing is set to single press here.
    There is too little time left to use after first receiving the Low battery message. There will still be low battery messages twice at intervals of a minute, and then they simply turn off.

    It seems that I started talking to her on the phone more...

    Advantages:

    Lightweight, comfortable, holds a charge for a long time. I make a lot of calls at work and the headset does its job perfectly. Both my interlocutors and I praise the connection, saying that it is much better than through wired headphones.

    Flaws:

    It still feels a little on the neck, but that’s the kind of person I am, I can’t wear anything extra. But its advantages are worth enduring.

    Period of use:

    less than a month

    Overall, I was pleased with the headset - my hands are free, the sound is pleasant. It’s really funny to answer a call on the street when your headphones are hidden under a scarf - people shy away and look like you’re the city crazy ☺
    P.S. I was looking for another problem on the Internet, which manifested itself in the form of loss of sound in the right earphone, after switching tracks or increasing the volume, 2 weeks after starting use, but it looks like it’s a defect and we just need to get to the repair: (By the way, the sound returns if it’s quiet I press the right case, but for the same reason I try not to touch the volume button and, in principle, not to touch the case.

    Advantages:

    There are no inconvenient wires - nothing dangles or clings when your hands are busy/running, and even if you are sitting at the computer listening and you need to get up and walk somewhere - the sound is with you (at a distance of 4 meters or one reinforced concrete wall☺);
    Reads SMS messages and some pop-up messages from social networks (my headset seemed to react to Instagram) after installing the program;

    Flaws:

    As a music lover, I was upset by the weak bass (for this and 4), the equalizer on the phone is amazing (Sony m4);
    When listening to tracks with 90 bpm or less, stuttering sometimes appears;
    Sometimes the connection to the computer is buggy, you have to reconnect Bluetooth both on the headset and on the computer 2-4 times;

    Period of use:

    several months

    Excellent model, got what I expected.

    Advantages:

    I wear it all the time, both at work and on vacation, when playing sports. Convenient operation, ergonomics, long battery life. You can tuck them under the collar of your shirt and then they are almost invisible at all. There are no complaints about the sound quality.

    Flaws:

    The elastic bands included are not very good, none of the sizes fit well and sometimes fall out when running.

    Period of use:

    several months

    Due to the insufficient rigidity of the design, the headphones spin around the neck while running (and always to the right - apparently, a mass imbalance), and during bending and twisting, they generally fly off the neck almost every time.
    On the plus side - good...

    Advantages:

    Good sound

    Flaws:

    Insufficient structural rigidity

    Period of use:

    several months

  • But the manufacturer did not stop there and decided to also experiment in the Bluetooth headset segment, releasing a device in the format... of a collar. Meet LG Tone+ HBS-730.

    Packaging and equipment LG Tone+ HBS-730

    The headphones are supplied in a relatively compact branded box. Waiting for us inside:

    • The headphones themselves with headband
    • MicroUSB to USB cable
    • Instructions
    • Replaceable attachments

    Charging occurs using a classic microUSB cable. A total of three pairs of interchangeable attachments are available. The smallest ones were perfect for me, they penetrate the ear canal perfectly and provide good isolation.

    Design and ergonomics of LG Tone+ HBS-730

    The rather new and unusual form factor of the headset initially surprises not only the owner, but also those around him, creating quite a WOW effect. Every now and then everyone asked what kind of miracle device this was. The “collar” is a very interesting and ergonomic solution (I’ll tell you why later), but it’s not suitable for everyone.

    The arc on which the droplets themselves are attached is quite convenient. It is made of plastic, and the connecting element is made of pleasant soft rubber. Due to this, if desired, the headband can be bent in any direction without damaging the structure.

    On the left arc of the LG Tone+ HBS-730 there is a call button. She is surrounded LED indicator blue activity.

    The volume control buttons are located nearby. On the outside of the arc there is a two-position power lever. On the inside there is a microUSB connector for charging. It is covered with a plug so as not to stand out against the background of the structure and remain protected.

    On the right arc there is a place for the Play/Pause multimedia button and a couple of buttons for switching tracks.

    The headphones themselves are made in the form of droplets (plugs). They are located in special recesses into which they are attached using magnets. In the test sample, the mounting pads turned out to be slightly demagnetized, which is why the headphones easily came off at the slightest impact. By the way, a microphone is hidden in the left magnetic pad.

    The manufacturer positions the LG Tone+ HBS-730 as a solution for stylish young people and athletes. As for the first, perhaps everyone should decide individually, but I will tell you about sports use in more detail. When doing basic exercises or while running, the user will not feel any discomfort; the LG Tone+ HBS-730 sits confidently on the neck, practically without dangling. The length of the wire of the droplets themselves can be adjusted using small clamps.

    The only unpleasant moment is that during abdominal exercises the headphones will still fall off due to the design features. In this case, either or a more sporty wireless one would be more suitable.

    In winter, the headphones fit well under a jacket, although at first the arc still puts a little pressure on the neck, you need to get used to it or position it more comfortably.

    Summing up the design and ergonomics, it is worth noting that the LG Tone+ HBS-730 has some features that a future buyer needs to take into account - the unusual shape of the arc and the risk of losing the headset while performing some specific exercises. Despite the total mass of 32 grams, the arc still significantly outweighs the droplets themselves.

    Wireless connection

    The headphones operate using the Bluetooth 3.0 protocol - a strange decision, because it was possible to use new energy-saving technology using the fourth generation protocol. Connection stability does not cause problems. Periodically (a couple of times a day) there may be a drop in the quality of the connection (the sound begins to stutter a little), but this goes away quite quickly. Perhaps this is due to the steel body of my smartphone, which slightly shields the signal. By the way, the headset supports simultaneous work with two devices at once.

    Yes, I can’t help but express my “ugh” about the ever-blinking activity indicator. If during the day it is almost unnoticeable, then at night, being on the neck under a jacket, the headset strives to alarm others, illuminating the wearer’s neck in blue.

    Integrated into headphones voice assistant with a pretty cute in a female voice, which somehow reminded me of Cortana. On English it reports the connection status, incoming call and changing the volume level. It is also possible to voice dial by number or contact name, but I was unable to get this function to work adequately. This is due to the lengthy procedure and the frankly poor quality of speech recognition. For example, I want to call our employee. The procedure looks like this:

    1. We press the call button on the headset, we hear: “Say call, followed by name or number”
    2. Say “Call%username%”
    3. (On the fifth attempt, the headset understands what I really want from it and gives the answer) “Say “1” for the first number, say “2” for the ....”
    4. Arrr...

    I have from two to five numbers on each contact, which creates certain problems in choosing, and given the difficulties in recognition, I preferred to abandon this idea altogether. On the other hand, this is a fairly experimental thing, so I wouldn't put an incident like this down as a flaw.

    The declared range of the headphones is 10 meters. In fact, it is slightly higher, which is very good. You can cook borscht while listening to music in the kitchen while your phone is charging in the bedroom.

    Sound quality LG Tone+ HBS-730

    The headset demonstrates very unexpected results in the field of music playback. Firstly, it has a very impressive volume reserve. Secondly, droplets with properly selected nozzles allow you to almost completely turn off the outside world, creating excellent noise insulation even in public transport. Thirdly, the sound quality and detail of individual compositions deserve praise. Initially, the headphones are well suited for listening to jazz or melodic rock. And if you twist the equalizer a little, the LG Tone+ HBS-730 becomes a good candidate for the role of a club music player. To summarize, I can say that the sound quality among wireless headsets LG Tone+ HBS-730 definitely deserves first place in its price category.

    The sensitivity of the microphone is not bad, you can even successfully talk on the street. There is a proprietary noise canceler, which is well worth the money invested.

    Autonomy LG Tone+ HBS-730

    The battery life declared by the manufacturer is 15 hours of talk time, the battery capacity is 195 mAh, which is slightly less than that of the one we recently tested. On the other hand, I was able to confirm the result at 15 hours while listening to music at above-average volume. So the LG Tone+ HBS-730 is enough for three to four days of use, if you don’t play music for 7-10 hours straight.

    For fully charged the headset needs a little more than 1.5 hours, which is a normal result. The assistant informs you about the current charge level every time you turn it on. If you want to find out how much battery is left at the moment, you need to press and hold the volume down button. Let's write down the disadvantages that we are not told the exact percentage of the charge level, but only a conditional level - Low, Medium or High.

    Conclusions

    Thus, LG Tone+ HBS-730 is a rather extraordinary representative of the wireless headphone segment. The test subject is distinguished by an original form factor, excellent sound quality and impressive autonomy. It is worth understanding that the LG Tone+ HBS-730 is not suitable for everyone, not least due to the price tag of almost 1000 UAH, but the headphones will definitely find their representative for stylish youth or a brave athlete.

    Pros:

    • Ergonomic and stylish design
    • 15 hours of autonomy
    • High charging speed
    • Excellent sound quality compared to competitors
    • Connection speed and stability

    Cons:

    • High price
    • The design is not for everyone
    • Voice assistant needs improvement

    Prices in online stores for Bluetooth headset LG Tone+ HBS-730

    It is possible to display other models if this one is not in the catalog.


    Comparing LG wireless headphones, we looked at the 3 most popular models - they are presented in the same price range, but each has certain distinctive features. Detailed review functions and characteristics will help you make the right choice when purchasing.

    Models presented:

    LG Tone+ HBS-500

    In appearance, the device resembles the HBS-730 model, but the design of the “collar” has undergone certain changes. The durable frame easily bends in different directions, which ensures long term his service. The device looks very stylish, but long-term use Certain elements of the headset turn yellow, which spoils the appearance of the product.

    Natural voice transmission in any conditions. But the sound is not spacious enough, as if lifeless - the bass is lost, and the high frequencies sound too harsh. These are convenient LG wireless headphones for communication, but not for listening to music tracks, due to the lack of aptX.

    Pros:

    1. The control system has been improved - corrugated buttons are convenient for blind control. Tracks are switched using the volume buttons, and the call key has become multifunctional. Initially, this is not very convenient, but with a little practice you can easily learn how to operate the headset;
    2. Increased battery life. Enjoy your favorite songs for 8 hours (at medium volume), talk time - 9.5 hours;
    3. Convenient shape. Reliable lightweight design, easy to fix, does not cause inconvenience.

    Cons:

    1. Weak magnetic fixation. The plastic surface of the grooves made it possible to reduce the cost of the product, but this came at the expense of comfort of use;
    2. Increased size. A controversial disadvantage, as it can also be considered as an advantage - it all depends solely on personal preferences;
    3. Absence additional functions and noise reduction. This is largely justified by the low cost of the product, but on the other hand, this model is inferior to most more advanced analogues presented at a similar price.

    LG Tone Ultra

    Tone Ultra (HBS-810) are comfortable and functional wireless headphones from LG. At first glance, the wires look rather flimsy, but in fact they are durable and designed for long-term use. The “collar” fits comfortably around the neck, is fixed well and does not dangle, and can be worn on the collar.

    Excellent sound quality thanks to the presence of the AptX codec, which becomes a significant advantage in comparison with LG Tone+. Excellent sound, conveys both low and high frequencies well, allowing you to fully enjoy your favorite compositions. Another plus in favor of the HBS-810 is a good microphone. This model is a universal choice for both communication and listening to music.

    Pros:

    1. Battery – designed for long-term operation, about 12 hours of listening to music at medium volume. The headset works in talk mode for several days;
    2. Automatic wire rewinding. A feature that made using the HBS-810 headphones even more convenient - just a slight movement of the hand is enough to fix the cable in the desired position;
    3. Pair with multiple devices. The connection process takes only a few seconds - excellent wireless headphones for LG Smart TV;
    4. Easy to control. It takes a minimum of time to master the system; everything is quite simple and intuitive.

    Cons:

    1. Lack of moisture protection. This model will not best choice for active training, since even a small amount of sweat can disable it;
    2. Insufficient wire length. According to reviews from the owners, 22 cm is enough right next to each other - this is an obvious flaw of the creators;
    3. Passive noise reduction. Ear pads with additional silicone controls do not cope with this task, which somewhat spoils the sound.

    LG Tone Infinim

    LG Tone Infinim wireless headphones are distinguished by good build quality and an original design that attracts attention. The lightweight plastic headset is easy to use and the size is suitable for those with a not too massive neck. It is strongly recommended to wear the “collar” only on clothing - the area under it sweats very much, which causes some inconvenience and destroys the soft-touch coating.

    The HBS-900 model is not suitable for those who prefer an active lifestyle. Dust, sand, sweat - all this can quickly damage the device. During an active workout, the headphones bounce, which makes it difficult to concentrate on the lesson.

    LG Tone Infinim is also suitable as the main headset used for communication. But it is important to remember that during a conversation you will have to turn your head towards the only microphone - the function of blocking echoes and extraneous noise does not fully cope with the task.

    When talking in public transport, you will have to raise your voice so that the interlocutor can hear anything.

    Pros:

    1. Model HBS-900 – optimal choice for long trips, leisurely walks and sedentary work, providing excellent sound;
    2. Support for the aptX codec, thanks to which any audio composition sounds flawless. An excellent alternative even to wired devices;
    3. Long battery life. The headphones fully comply with the characteristics declared by the manufacturer, and work for about 3 days in the mode of frequent conversations and listening to music at medium volume (3-4 hours a day);
    4. Voice control. It becomes a significant plus, significantly simplifying the process of operating the device.

    Cons:

    1. The fragility of the headset. You should be careful when putting on the headset, and thin wires require maximum care when using;
    2. Minimum equipment. Just a few attachments - no cover or additional inserts.

    Conclusion

    If you are planning to buy LG wireless headphones, then you should initially decide for what purpose the device will be needed. If this is communication, then it is worth considering the LG Tone+ HBS-500 model, for comfortable listening to music in quiet mode - LG Tone Infinim. The LG Tone Ultra will be a universal solution, combining functionality and excellent sound.
