Product Manuals
A: None of the new LG Tone Platinum models have Aptx or Aptx-HD. The original Tone Platinum HBS-1100 supported APTX-HD and it was this feature that allowed the Bluetooth connection to be indistinguishable from CD quality wired headphones. Apparently LG seems to think that adding a dynamic driver to the new models is somehow going to replicate the quality of what they removed but all that it's going to do is give you a fuller sounding distorted connection. They could put six drivers in each earphone and it wouldn't help. Oddly enough, they managed to double the price. You may be asking yourself how could this possibly be an upgraded version of the original Tone Platinums and the honest answer is that it isn't. In order to put APTX-HD compatibility into a device the manufacturer has to pay a royalty fee and this year LG must have decided to raise the price and put all the profit in the shareholders' pockets. This year's models aren't even in the same league as the originals and we will see if Best Buy is truly the going to be the customers' trusted advisor or LG's partner in profit in their decision on whether to publish my truthful opinion (the results of which will appear in another publication prior to Christmas). This year's models should more appropriately be called the Tone Tins.
Q: Does this model have an external speaker?
A: No, the HBS-1125 does not have an external speaker. If you are looking for this feature, check out the HBS-835S. ^CP
Q: Are these headphones sweat and water resistant
A: I have not tested my current LG headphones for resistance to sweat and water, but prior versions were not resistant and died - one after a hard workout, and a subsequent set died after I was outside doing lawn work and sweating. I am a fan of these headphones, but I do not subject them to these kinds of situations any more.
Q: Does it vibrate on in coming calls
A: Yes they vibrate when you receive a call. You might want to take that feature off though, due to the cheap plastic LG uses you headset might crack. If it does crack, just prepair your self to spend another $200 on a new set because LG cant stand behind thier products.
Q: Do these headphones have the aptx bluetooth protocol?
A: The original LG Tone Platinum model from 2016 has the aptX feature. The most recent iteration of the Tone Platinum from late 2018 oddly enough is not equipped with aptX capability.
A: No, this unit does not support voice command.
Q: this item have noise cancelling?
A: Yes it does
Q: Do these announce caller id
A: Yes it does.
