LG announced today its new Bluetooth stereo headset, the LG TONE+ (HBS-730,) which offers High Definition (HD) sound across VoLTE-capable devices.

The successor to the original LG TONE (HBS-700) model offers enhanced audio quality with a number of improvements. The extended bass register of the LG TONE+ increases the available sound range. The LG TONE+ also adopts a professional grade audio codec, the aptX which delivers CD-quality sound by automatically fitting high capacity audio data to the available bandwidth while transmitting.



Thanks to a clever Bluetooth Multi-connection function, the LG Tone+ can be instantly connected to two smartphones or to smartphone and other multimedia device. The Audible Pairing Assistance feature reveals the connection status when another device is connected, while Vibrating Call Alert notifies the user of incoming calls. Two other features, the Audible Battery Status Alert and Mic Mute, have also been included to maximize convenience. Finally, BT Reader, one of LG?s own Android applications, monitors incoming SMS and reads them out to the headset, meaning users can stay informed without taking their smartphone out of their pocket.

The talk and standby times of the LG TONE+ have been extended to 15 and 500 hours, respectively.

The LG TONE+ will be available in Korea, the United States and China by the end of this month in blue-black and white-pearl color options.
