Personal Surround Sound with the LG TONE Studio

The next time you play your favorite video game or stream the newest movie on your favorite subscription service, you will feel as if you're right in the action with the new LG TONE Studio. In stores today at Amazon for $229.00, the LG TONE Studio is LG's newest around-the-neck Bluetooth® wearable speaker (compatible with Bluetooth® audio enabled LG Smart TVs running WebOS*), that lets you experience true surround sound anywhere.

"A cinema-like experience doesn't only have to happen at the movie theatres," says Bruce Tripido, LG Senior Director, U.S. Accessories. "With the LG TONE Studio's not one, not two, not three, but four speakers, you can immerse yourself in real 3D Surround Sound when watching a movie, playing a video game, streaming music or simply talking on the phone." 

Designed in collaboration with surround sound experts, the LG TONE Studio allows you to experience the first DTS®-tuned wireless device for wearable "cinema-like" surround sound through four speakers – two upward firing, full range on the top of the headset and two vibration speakers underneath. What's more is that with Wearable Bass™ special vibration speakers, your body will feel the sound of cinema-like quality bass as if you are right there in the action. And if you want to share the action, you can simply turn on the Dual Play feature which lets you connect two LG TONE Studio wearable speakers and share the sounds from a movie, playlist or more.  

For times where personal surround sound isn't needed, the LG TONE Studio features the legacy TONE tangle free, retractable earbuds featured in LG's line up of Bluetooth® headsets like the LG TONE UTLRA, LG TONE Active, LG TONE INFINIM and LG TONE PLATINUM. With a simple toggle button, you can switch between speaker mode and earbud mode to enjoy up to 35 hours of music listening time while in earbud mode. And, if you have to take a break from your playlist to take a call, the LG TONE Studio features clear phone calls with up to 40 hours' worth of talk time.

Available at Amazon today for $229.00, the LG TONE STUDIO comes in silver and will be available next month at T-Mobile and Verizon stores nationwide.

Is there now somewhere else a forum for LG Tone questions or will there be one here? 

If you need a starter question: LG Tone headsets provide telephone output only through right-side speaker. Could not some accommodation be made for those whose hearing needs left or bilateral speaker output? Old geezers need not apply?

Good point. I just created a new forum titled LG webOS Add-Ons & Accessories and moved this topic into it. Feel free to start a new topic in this forum.
