LG [isn't short](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/07/metropco-volte-network-launch-live-dallas-connect-4g-android/) of a few [Voice over LTE](http://www.engadget.com/tag/volte) handsets, but this neck-hugging Bluetooth handset promises to offer similarly crisp voice calls, if the feature's available, without the need to fumble around in your pockets . The Tone + headset totes a pair of in-ear buds, is available in both white and black and will even vibrate in _Battle Royale_ <strike>terror</strike> style when you receive a call. LG has built in a "professional grade audio codec", the [aptX](http://www.engadget.com/tag/aptx), to improve audio performance alongside that VoLTE compatibility. The headphones can event pair to two devices (even two smartphones) and read out your received SMS messages. You can expect the micro-USB rechargeable Tone+ to last around 15 hours of talk-time, or 500 hours on standby. Pricing is yet to be confirmed, but LG promise to launch the device in the US, Korea and China by the end of the month.
