Popular LG Tone Infinim Around-the-Neck Wireless Headset Gets Updated For 2016

December 30 2015, 03:00

LG Electronics (LG) will unveil its newest LG Tone Infinim (HBS-910) at CES 2016, updating the around-the-neck wireless headset with a slimmer more contemporary design, enhanced audio quality and convenience. The original design concept remains a reference for wireless headsets. Consumer availability in the United States will begin in February with key markets in Asia and Europe to follow soon after.

As an upgraded successor of the popular HBS-900, the new Tone Infinim range inherits the previous model’s main strengths such as the wire retractable function and audio components designed by Harman/Kardon. The Tone Infinim delivers features and benefits not found on most competing wireless headsets such as a metallic body and long-lasting battery. With its upgraded Quad-Layer Speaker Technology, the new Tone Infinim delivers an improved audio experience with better balance across all sound ranges and enhanced frequency response.

Dealing with noisy environments such as crowded subways or city streets are no challenge for the new Tone Infinim with its new dual cancelling microphones, allowing users to conduct calls in any environment. Along with the new HBS-910, LG is updating its free Tone & Talk Android app with two new features — Voice Memo and Find Me — that allow Tone Infinim customers to record their own voice notes and help locate misplaced smartphones.

While the original HBS-900 version was Bluetooth 3.0 with aptX support, the new improved 910 model should also update the technology to feature better power management and more robust transmission, improving the already respectable 14 hours of music playing. More important, the new slimmer design will appeal to a wider audience.

“The original Tone Infinim set a new standard for wireless headset design,” says Chung Sue-hyun, vice president of Innovative Personal Devices Business Division at LG Electronics. “We delivered an audio solution that offered days of battery life, a comfortable fit that didn’t fall off the neck when unused and most importantly, fantastic sound. It’s no wonder the LG Tone Infinim series is the most copied design in this product category.”
 

Final specifications and pricing will be revealed at CES 2016.
