Premium Entry

When LG entered the neck-band in-ears space, it did so with the aim to be more than just a hands-free system. In fact, many consider the original LG TONE as more than just a simple wire-free ear-buds system. That is to a point, as LG packed some high-spec sound delivery features inside. The next-gen entry breaks away from the formula as it, instead, focuses on specific market segments. This goes beyond being just a companion for drivers as LG considers commuters, audiophiles, and every-day consumers as primary focuses. Hence, the introduction of the LG INFINIM HBS-920.

Sturdy Design

For a neck-band, the next-gen LG TONE INFINIM HBS-920 – a top-tier entry by all counts – feels sturdy and offers decent user handling. This is the case even though it has a somewhat flexible neck-band; in fact, it bends too easily but thankfully it doesn’t feel like it will snap so quickly. The in-ears, now with auto-lock cables that can retract with a push of a button, are a dream to use. In this age of convenience, performance is usually sacrificed for comfort. Not so with this all-new LG TONE INFINIM.

Deep Impact

How well does the LG TONE INFINIM HBS-920 perform in terms of sound? Having reviewed a variety of in-ears and headphones, it won’t be surprising if there is some level of jadedness in the text. Thankfully, LG did not disappoint. This next-gen ear-buds have active noise-cancelling microphones to ensure there is no audio interference. Harmon Kardon Signature Sound also ensures the sound stage is always at its very best. Indeed, highs and mids sounds exceptional, while the bass level can be managed via the Adjustable Bass function.
