LG unveils the Tone Active, a Bluetooth headset that will be exclusive to AT&T

The LG Tone Infinim is certainly the most well known member of the Korean company's line of Bluetooth headsets, but there are many more. And today the newest addition to this roster was announced - the LG Tone Active.

Like its name implies, this is an accessory designed to be used while running, biking, or working out. It comes with IPx3 rating, which means it can handle sweat without a worry.

Its earbuds retract into its frame, so you won't have any tangled cords. The Tone Active is meant to be worn around the neck, where it will supposedly fit very well, thanks to its "stay-put, contoured design".

LG also promises its battery will last for up to 9.5 hours of music playback, 13 hours of talk time, and up to 18 days of standby time. It supports aptX and can be paired to two devices simultaneously.

In what is a very odd move, the LG Tone Active will initially be exclusive to AT&T. You'll be able to buy one from the carrier, in orange, starting on July 24. The price will be $129. It's unclear how long AT&T's exclusivity will last, or if any other color versions will be offered at some point in the future.
