Let me start by saying that the LG TONE TRIUMPH HBS-510 is a decent wireless headset that gets the job done, but it's not without its quirks. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and here's my honest take.
The sound quality is surprisingly good for the price. The Quad layer speaker technology delivers clear mids and highs, though bass lovers might be a bit disappointed. It's perfect for podcasts and phone calls, but if you're a bass-head, you might want to look elsewhere.
One thing I absolutely love is the retractable wire management. No more tangled cords! The earbuds snap back into place magnetically when not in use, though I have to admit the magnets could be stronger. They sometimes feel a bit loose.
The dual MEMS microphones are a standout feature. My voice comes through crystal clear on calls, though some users have reported background noise issues on the receiving end. In my experience, this hasn't been a major problem.
Battery life is impressive - I consistently get about 16-20 hours depending on volume. That's enough to last me through multiple workdays without charging.
Now for the downsides: The build quality feels a bit cheap compared to other LG Tone models. The plastic casing doesn't inspire confidence, and I've noticed some squeaking when adjusting the arms. This seems to be a common complaint among users.
The earbud fit might be hit or miss depending on your ear shape. They don't stay put as well as some other models I've tried during workouts.
Overall, this is a solid choice if you want reliable Bluetooth audio at a reasonable price, especially for calls and podcasts. But if you're looking for premium build quality or powerful bass, you might want to consider spending more on a higher-end model.
