Our take on the LG Tone NP3C Wireless Stereo Headset with Retractable Earbuds
The LG Tone NP3C is a neckband-style Bluetooth headset with retractable earbuds that pull out on a cord and reel back into the band when you are done. It is built for calls and casual listening on the go, with in-line controls on the band and a vibration alert for incoming calls. Compared with true wireless earbuds it keeps the buds attached so they are harder to lose, but the neckband adds bulk and the sound is tuned for voice rather than critical listening. It suits commuters and people who take a lot of calls more than audiophiles.

Questions and answers

- The earbuds are attached to a neckband by retractable cords, so they cannot be dropped or lost separately. True wireless buds are smaller but need a charging case.
- Is it good for music or mainly for calls?
- It is tuned for voice, so calls and podcasts come through clearly. Music sounds thin compared with dedicated music headphones.
- How do the retractable earbuds work?
- You pull the buds out on their cords to wear them and they reel back into the band when released. The band holds the battery and controls.
- Can it connect to a laptop as well as a phone?
- Yes, it pairs over Bluetooth with phones, tablets and laptops that support standard Bluetooth audio.
- Does it have a vibration alert for calls?
- Yes, the neckband vibrates when a call comes in, which helps when the phone is in a bag or pocket.
