Our take on the LG Tone Wireless Stereo Headset with Retractable Earbuds NP3
The LG Tone NP3 is a neckband-style wireless stereo headset with retractable earbuds that pull out for listening and reel back into the band when you are done. The around-the-neck design keeps the earbuds off your ears between calls and puts the controls within easy reach. It suits people who take a lot of calls, commute, or want earbuds they will not lose. Against true wireless earbuds it trades pocketability and isolation for a hard-to-lose design and longer listening time, but its sound and noise isolation are basic by current standards.
- Retractable earbuds stay attached and tuck away cleanly
- Neckband keeps controls and battery off your ears
- Vibrates for incoming calls so you feel them in noisy places
- Simple pairing and inline call controls
- Long listening time per charge compared with small true wireless buds

What reviewers say

- Call clarityMixedCalls are usable, but the microphone picks up surrounding noise in busy places.
Questions and answers
- How do the retractable earbuds work?
- The earbuds pull out on short cords from the neckband and reel back in when you release them. That keeps them attached and out of the way between calls.
- Is this good for phone calls?
- It is built around calls, with inline controls and a vibration alert for incoming calls. Call clarity suffers in noisy places because the microphone picks up background sound.
- How does it compare with true wireless earbuds?
- You give up pocketability and noise isolation, but you get earbuds that cannot be lost and a battery that lasts longer than a small charging case.
- Does it block out noise?
- Not much. The earbuds sit lightly in the ear and offer little passive isolation, so loud surroundings come through.
- What is in the box?
- The headset comes with a charging cable and basic ear tips. It does not include a charging case, since the battery sits in the neckband.
- Can I wear it under a jacket or scarf?
- Yes, but the band is fairly rigid and can feel bulky under a collar or scarf.
