LG HBM-730 Bluetooth Headset

Overall Gammoth Rating: 9.1

Reviewed by: Peter Dykstra

The Good:

  • Small size
  • High quality audio
  • Light and comfortable

The Bad:

  • Button commands

The LG HBM-730 is an extremely small and lighweight Bluetooth earpiece that easily converts for either ear. The earloop holds the earpiece securely to the user’s ear, and is thin enough that it doesn’t interfere with glasses or sunglasses. Weighing in at 9.4g (0.3oz), the LG HBM-730 is one of the lightest Bluetooth headsets on the market and it seems to fit very comfortably. The HBM-730 also includes a convenient detachable lanyard for when the device is not in use. The small design offers all of the necessary features and technology for everyday use, and the buttons are relatively easy to find while wearing the device. Learning the power button commands, however, definitely requires referencing the manual for instruction and is still slightly confusing until the commands are memorized. When the HBM-730’s power button is pressed, the user’s finger covers the LED light making it difficult to determine whether the unit has actually powered on/off. Although its compact size restricts the available talk time to an estimated 3.5 hours, the average cell phone user will likely find this to be an adequate charge. Despite the small size, the sound quality was surprisingly good, and the range of about 8 meters was more than enough for normal use.

As a cell phone user who hates the bulky, heavy Bluetooth headsets, I personally found the HBM-730 to be one of the most comfortable and simple headsets available and would highly recommend it for the average user.

Plantronics Voyager 815

Plantronics Voyager 815

 

Overall Gammoth Rating:  8.3 out of 10

Reviewed by:  Amber Haack

The Good:

·         Comfortable

·         Good call quality

·         Easy-to-use

The Bad:

·         Weak noise shield

 

The Plantronics Voyager 815 is a lightweight headset with a sleek design that made the level of comfort impeccable.  The small earbud, with a slight curve to fit the ear, made it very comfortable to talk on for several hours without any problems with talk time.  Also included is a detachable ear loop that provided a much more comfortable fit and offered stability for the small headset.  The Voyager 815 has a Sliding Boom feature that extends the Bluetooth headset and conveniently answers and ends calls.  This feature made the headset very easy-to-use and increased the quality of the call.  Although the quality of the call was typically good, the headset did not provide the most effective noise shield.  Because of this, some background noises were heard, but did not cause any problems.   The headset was so easy-to-use that with one click of a button, the headset paired with a cell phone instantaneously.  My overall experience with the Plantronics Voyager 815 was good and I would recommend this innovative headset to anyone.

Nokia BH-800 Bluetooth Headset

Nokia BH-800 Bluetooth Headset

 

Overall Gammoth Rating: 9.0 out of 10

Reviewed by: Stephanie Campbell

The Good

· Call range

· Comfort

The Bad:

· Accessories

The Nokia BH-800 is compact and comfortable to wear. It is one of the smallest headsets on the market but provides some of the best sound quality around. The BH-800’s large multifunction button located on the front of the headset makes powering on/off a snap, and the volume rocker located on the side allows for easy volume adjustment. There was some difficulty using the volume rocker while wearing the headset; however, it was not enough to be bothersome. The Nokia BH-800 was extremely comfortable to wear, but in order to maintain comfort and fit, the ear loop needed to be utilized at all times. Although the Nokia BH-800 does not come with additional ear cushions or ear loops, it does come with a lanyard for easy carrying. The call range was average and the standby/talk time was excellent. My experience with the Nokia BH-800 was great and I would greatly recommend this extraordinary little headset.
