It has a jog button and can alert you to messages via both sound and vibration

Bluetooth headsets usually differ from their peers only in how they can send and receive signals over the air, instead of through a cable. The model that LG has just released has a few unusual assets though.

First off, you can notice the shape of the LG Tone Infinim headset. Not unique by any means, but not overly common either.

Another thing is the ability of the headset to vibrate, giving you an extra means to ensure you don't miss a message notification.

Moreover, the Tone Infinim has a retractable wire. You see, the recharge adapter isn't standalone, it's part of the headset, but retracts out of sight when not in use (micro USB).

Then, there's the Answer Me+ feature, which automatically disconnects Tone Infinim when you raise the LG G3 smartphone to your ear. Too bad the G3 smartphone isn't available yet.

Another thing worth mentioning is Name Alert (states the name of the caller, obviously).

The LG Tone Infinim should be able to last for 17 hours on a single charge (talk time), or 14 hours (music playback). The standby time is of 550 hours though. The 220 mAh battery is something else.

Sadly, the price hasn't been unveiled, despite sales being supposed to begin in the coming weeks.
