Excellent earbuds for non-Apple Ecosystem users
|Posted .Immediately when I began use of these earbuds, I will say that I was blown away by the quality. These are not just AirPods knockoffs but from the case to the available features, they are deserving of their own accolades as LG has done an excellent job here. With the unpackaging experience, I will be honest that the packing and presentation of the LG True Tone earbuds is subpar. The packaging for these could as easily be the packing for $30 dollar earbuds as almost $200 ones. However, sometimes amazing things can come wrapped in misleading exteriors because these earbuds have outstanding audio. I have long been an AirPod Pros user, and these LG earbuds are most definitely on par with the AirPod Pros for having high quality sound. These might even outstrip the Airpod Pros by a hair or two for bass quality and presence. I have found that every little bit of bass quality you can squeeze out of earbuds this size is impressive. I am not in love with the touch and tap interface. The controls are right at the top of the stalk of the earbud where you would normally grasp or push on to push them back into your ears if they loosen and that makes you pause the song or change the noise cancellation setting. I have been getting used to having to grip around the outside the stalk of the earbud to make adjustments to the earbud. I really like this case. The case has good curvature with soft touch surfaces that ensures it does not protrude or poke too much in your pocket if that is where you carry them. There are good cases for them, so if you prefer to clip these to keys or a lanyard, that could be an option for you. The inside of the case is great as well. I find that it is highly intuitive to put the earbuds back into their proper spots and there is some nifty blue lighting for when you open the case up which is nice in the dark when you want to put them back. The UV sanitation light works only when you are charging the case, but I think this is a cool feature to have available. Just note, the UV light is not going to be able to kill bacteria and sanitize these earbuds through layers and layers of earwax, so make sure to do your part and keep these clear and free of your ear gunk for a proper sanitization experience. I love the USB-C pass through cord included for airplane’s etc. Essentially, you plug the 3.5mm jack end of the cord into the auxiliary port of a given device and then plug the USB-C plug end into your case while you have the earbuds in your ears. You then toggle the switch on the side of the case, and you should be in business. You can also utilize this “wired-wireless” feature with computers or televisions when you don’t want to bother with Bluetooth connection. On the note of Bluetooth connection, these earbuds do have occasional little random audio glitches and stutters that I have found nearly unavoidable with most all Bluetooth headphones. However, the range on these is absolutely outstanding. I was doing chores in my house the other day and normally when I go in my garage and close the door with my phone in the living room, the audio starts to stutter and drop with other Bluetooth headphones, headsets, and earbuds I have tried. The True Tone FP9’s held in there and maintained a solid connection to my iPhone 8 as dependably as my AirPod Pros! Overall, I feel that for non-Apple ecosystem individuals, these are an absolute no-brainer for AirPod like convenience and audio quality. For Apple users, I feel like there is so much more utility with the AirPod Pros that it is difficult to depart from at this small of a price difference. However, LG has made a winning product here and they deserve your attention and time as you are making your purchasing decision. Thanks for reading and hope this has helped lend another perspective!

Wired AND Wireless Capability
|Posted .Wireless earbuds have come a long way in the past few years, so it is not easy to stand out in a market saturated by high quality offerings. These LG Tone Wireless earbuds mange to do just that by featuring an innovative and versatile design. The main stand out feature they have is that they can be used with devices that don’t have Bluetooth capability. This is accomplished by connecting the case directly to the headphone jack of the device, and then the case becomes a Bluetooth transmitter. The earbuds are paired to the case, and your legacy device is now wireless! This is a brilliant option which would be especially useful on a flight if one is inclined to use the in flight entertainment system. To make this happen a USB-C to headphone jack cable is included in the box. These earbuds can be used without downloading the Tone App, but I highly recommend using the App. It works very well and enables numerous control capabilities that can only be accessed using the App. For example, there is a function to update the firmware which could be used to make future improvements. An equalizer is offered in the App so the sound can be adjusted to suit personal preference. Several EQ presets are available, as well as 2 custom EQ settings. I found the Tone App to be well designed and it makes controlling the earbuds very easy. One App feature that really stood out is the Find My Earbuds function. Using it I was able to get an exact location for the earbuds. The App can be used to change the earbud button operation from the default settings. A few different functions can be changed from the programmed 1, 2, 3 button press selections. They come with 3 tip sizes(small, medium, large), with the medium size being installed. I immediately noticed that much like these earbuds, the tips were on the small size. I was unable to get a tight seal with the medium size, and moved up to the large tip and that improved the sound quality. Creating a tight seal over your ear canal is crucial for earbud sound quality. Once I got a tight seal achieved using the necessary ear tip size, I found the sound quality to be very good. I experimented with the EQ settings and settled on the Immersive setting. Bass response is not as deep as some other earbuds I have used, but it is present and adequate. The ANC is not the most effective that I have used, but it does cut down on outside noises some. I hope that LG can improve the ANC somewhat in future updates. There is also an Ambient sound setting that uses a microphone to pass outside sound in. The call quality is quite good, and I was able to hear and be heard without any difficulty. The stability and range of the Bluetooth connection impressed me. When the case is opened the earbuds conveniently activate and connect. The Bluetooth connection is rock solid and out to about 50 feet. I am able to flawlessly connect to my Windows PC using Swift Pair. The left or right earbud can each be used individually. I am very glad manufacturers have started to move beyond the requirement that one earbud (usually the right one) be the primary. There are times, like when I am driving, that I want to use the left earbud only for GPS directions, while still being able to hear my passengers with my open right ear. The App also works with only one earbud connected, unlike some other earbud Apps that won’t function unless both earbuds are active. The battery life is excellent, and lasted me between 6 and 8 hours per charge using ANC. Battery life depends on volume level and whether the ANC is being used. It is rated to last up to 10 hours with the ANC off.The case is very compact and easy to fit in a bag or pocket. The earbuds magnetically seat in the case. Another unique capability that the LG Tone has is that the case has a built in UV light that is designed to sanitize your ear tips. UV light has been shown to be capable of killing bacteria. The UV light activates for 5 minutes only when the case is attached to a charger.

Earbuds with everything but the kitchen sink
|Posted .If you are looking for a set of good-sounding noise cancellation earbuds, then you are in luck; the market is full of them. It seems like every electronics vendor has something that they use to set them apart from the rest of the market. The LG TONE Free brings some nice things to differentiate them, but is it enough? /Comfort/ One of the first things that any brand needs to get right out of the box is comfort. It doesn’t matter if everything is hit out of the ballpark if you can’t stand to keep them in your ears for more than a few minutes. Luckily, LG gets this one right. They slide into your ears, and you will more than likely forget about them after that. I used them around the house, and on a jog, there is some sliding and having to readjust them during the run, but I wasn’t worried about them falling off. You get the standard three different silicone ear tips in the box; I went with the larger ones in hopes of a better seal. //Sound// This part is a little tricky when trying to rate the LG TONEs. They sound clear, even at higher volumes. The soundstage is good, and the bass is noticeable but not overwhelming. I would have preferred for the bass to be a little punchier. They have a brighter sound signature, in my opinion. The tricky part is when you try to use their Active Noise Cancellation. I have a few other active noise cancellation headphones/earbuds, and I feel like the LG TONEs do a mediocre job of blocking out unwanted noise. I could still hear my wife on the treadmill in the next room, my kiddos arguing in their rooms, and other random noises when hanging out around my house with Noise Cancellation on. This was even after I attempted to change the silicone tips to get a better seal. Now, don’t get me wrong, it does block out a lot of noise, but if Noise Cancellation is your number one priority, then maybe look elsewhere. Ambient Sound mode is excellent and lets you hear everything around you and even has a neat feature that enables you to make Ambient mode focus on Voices or other noises around you, like if you are walking in a city or crowded area. Rounding all of this out is the ability to change the EQ. It comes with five presets and allows you to set 2 custom EQ settings. You can find all these settings and some other Lab features within the app. Setting these up on my Z Fold3 was a breeze; I installed the app first, and when I opened the case, a popup came up asking if I wanted to pair them to my phone. I was able to also pair them up on my iPhone in the traditional way, Bluetooth settings. ///TL: DR/// Comfort is excellent; you can wear them and completely forget about them. No ear fatigue even after hours of use. Music sounds excellent, podcasts and audiobooks also sound clear, especially with the Noise Cancellation. The sound is brighter, highs and mids stand out a bit more. They could be a little punchier in the lows. Luckily you get an EQ and can tweak the sound signature to your taste. The Ambient Mode is fantastic, and the Noise Cancellation mode is passable. They are IPX4 water and sweat-resistant, so you can use them for workouts if they fit your ears. Battery life is impressive at 10 hours, with the case being able to offer you a total of 24 hours. They pause and un-pause your music if you pull one of the earbuds out and can be used with just one earbud in your ear at a time. They offer a great way to plug in the actual case with the provided case into a headphone jack to allow you to use your earbuds with devices that don’t offer Bluetooth, like on a flight. Rounding out all these great features is that when the case is plugged in charging and your earbuds in there, they can disinfect your earbuds with their UVnano feature if you are worried about bacteria on your earbuds. These are feature-packed, with good sound, great ambient mode, and decent noise cancellation. They are an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a great comfortable pair of earbuds.

LG with a Solid TWS Set!
||Posted .LG is killing it with these updated/upgraded, redesigned version of the Tone Free line. Had the FN4 and FN7 before and while I mostly enjoyed them... the sound was lacking to me. These have updated drivers, a smaller form factor even to the AirPods Pro and and neat feature for Bluetooth Transmission from the Case. What I am enjoying the most is the very comfortable and and relaxed fit, accompanied with pleasing balanced sound and still carrying enough bass to be a dynamic and "fun" sound! These are not beats, nor jbl or skullcandy with muddied bass... no! these actually sound good, are they the best? no but they will get the job done

Good Fit and Audio but ANC can be lacking
|Posted .I’ve been using these headphones when I jog and exercise and the fit and function are great. The audio quality is better than most when paired with the 3D Sound Stage equalizer on the LG Tone app. The ANC with the included ear gels is not so great because they are thin and let in too much outside noise. Performance: To get the best audio quality out of these headphones I had to turn on the 3D Sound Stage equalizer in the LG Tone App. The app has five preset equalizers and two that you can customize. I played with the customization but 3d Sound Stage also adds some “depth” to the sound quality which is more than you get from just the equalizer. Voice call quality for me was good but some people told me that they had to increase their volume to hear me. The earbuds have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Ambient Sound options. The Ambient Sound setting lets you hear outside sounds so that you can be aware of your surroundings. The ANC was not that great because of the ear gels. The ear gels that come with the headphones are very thin and because of that they do not seal off outside noises very well. I have an air purifier in the room where I work and with it running on medium the ANC would reduce the motor sound by about 30%. I found some improvement by using the included largest ear gels but they were too uncomfortable to wear. When I replaced the stock ear gels with some 3rd party foam ear gels the quality of the ANC was substantial and cut the motor sound by at least 80%. In the end I decided to go back to the original ear gels and when I need high levels of ANC I will swap out the ear gels. In the LG Tone app there is a High and a Low ANC setting but I didn’t notice much difference so I keep mine on High. Fit and Function: The ear buds are light weight have a low profile so they reside mostly in your ear without looking unsightly. When I jog and work out they don’t move around much and because the ear gels are thin and flexible I didn’t hear any rubbing sound that I have gotten from other headphones. Each earbud has a control switch that is touch sensitive which is really nice because you don’t have to push anything to actuate it. Also the ear bud provides a clicking sound when you activate the switch so you get positive feedback when using them. The only downside is that you have to be aware of the switches when you are putting the earbuds in or when you adjust them because you can easily hit the switch inadvertently. In the LG Tone app you can configure the button functionality for both the right and left earbud for Media and Active Assistant but you cannot change the call control functions nor is there a Mute function for phone calls. The earbuds have auto pause capability when one of the earbuds are removed. They are IPX4 rated so they will handle sweat and moisture. The battery life is up to 10 hours per charge and up to 24 hours when combined with the case. The case is small and very portable. It has a USB-C charging port and there is a colored led on the case to show the battery level. When you open the case there are blue lights that turn on which can be helpful when removing the headphones in the dark. The case has UV lights that clean the ear gels when they are in the charging case. The LG Tone app has lots of features and controls but it can be a little buggy. At first it had trouble finding the earbuds but once it did it starting working problem free. Wired to Wireless Function: The headphone case can be connected to a non-Bluetooth device using the included USB-C to 3.5mm audio jack as show in the photo. You plug the audio jack into the component and then the USB-C into the case and then the case becomes a Blue Tooth transmitter for the headphones. Since most modern components support Bluetooth this is a limited use feature but it definitely makes these headphones unique.

Pretty solid earbuds
|Posted .Pretty impressed with these earbuds. While they're not as well known as Beats or Sony, I was pleasantly surprised overall with these earbuds. The size of these earbuds are very small. Even the case is small as you can see in my pics. The Beats Fit Pro case was the smallest earbud case I had until I got these LG Tones. It's almost the size of a crab cake :) The earbuds themselves are on the smaller side as well. My previous Bose ones were oddly big sized as were a couple other brands I had. They sit well, almost perfectly, for me. I didn't even need to mess around with the other tips to find a good fit. They sit well in the ear too so they're not jiggling around or have any worry about them falling out. Sound wise, very pleasantly surprised. For calls, I had no complaints about muffled sounds or weird background noises. Call quality was pretty good so I have no complaints here. For music, these sound very good. Good highs and mids and the bass was OK. For me, I'm used to a louder, more pronounced, bass sound since I listen to a lot of EDM. While you won't get any booming bass notes from these earbuds, they still do come through with a decent sound. The UV feature on these earbuds is probably the most unique as I've never seen them on any other earbuds so far. While I can't really tell if you if they work or not, I'm glad that these have some sort of feature to clean the earbuds when not in use. It only works if the earbuds are in the case and the case is plugged in but, for me, it's not really an issue since I charge these up after the subway ride to/from work. Overall, great sounding earbuds, super tiny case and the added UV cleaning feature is pretty nice.

Musical Perfection
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.If you're looking for the absolute best sound out of your music for under 200 bucks, it really doesn’t get better than this. These things have such a natural, clean bass without being overbearing or artificial. Their active noise cancelation is insanely effective, but the sound clarity doesn't drop whatsoever if you turn the noise canceling off. The driver size of the earbuds allows for a much clearer and deep quality of audio, you're literally hearing more of the music because of its insane range. I was blown away by the sound quality of these jawns, for real. Though as a side note, the functionality of the app that comes with them can be a bit wonky at times but for the most part is easy to use.

Make ANY Device Wireless + Solid Other Features
|Posted .MAIN FEATURES: These have two unique features that separate them from the competition: 1. The ability to use Wireless Earbuds on EVERY device you own. Assuming it has 3.5 mm aux or Bluetooth. - It comes with a USB C to 3.5 aux cord. You plug the USB C into the UVnano case, flip the switch on the left side to tell them you are using it “wired”, plug the 3.5 mm aux into ANY device with 3.5 mm aux and then pull out the earbuds and you have wireless sound. - This by far is my favorite feature and works amazingly well. This is the main reason I was interested in these. 2. UVnano Case: Only when plugged in (for the first five minutes) of charging it will turn on an ultraviolet light to clean the speaker grills. This has shown to destroy 99.9% of bacteria. - It’s a neat feature. Even though I don’t really see the point. But I like clean so it’s a win in my book. - They probably only do it during charging for A. To preserve battery life. B. Safety. As UV light can be dangerous to eyes and skin. OTHER FEATURES: It comes with Noise Cancelling and Transparency Mode. From my testing and comparing it to my other wireless earbuds both the noise canceling, and transparency mode are average at best. It’s a nice additional feature to have. But not something you should buy these earbuds for. Microphone quality is above average. I found that it was able to register low end well, making my voice sound relatively natural. However, it was a bit muddy and congested meaning my vocals weren’t fully clear (if I’m being nitpicky). But it is perfectly suitable for calls. They sport an attractive design. The size of the earbuds is small. Making them very low profile. The ear tips are some of the best I’ve tried. They are very soft and malleable. Causing me zero irritation. However, I found the general fit of these to not be as good as others I’ve tried. But I’d still rate them as very comfortable. As I can wear them for a long period of time without issues. I’m just aware they are in my ear compared to others that I forget are in there. But this will vary from person to person. Controls are interesting. They are registered by touch over a physical button. Which I don’t like. It is very sensitive, so you don’t have to worry about it not registering. However, when adjusting the earbuds I found myself accidently clicking it almost every time. If you hold down the touch button it will turn on/off noise-cancelling/Transparency. If you quick press it will play/pause. Double press will increase or decrease volume depending on which earbud you press. Triple press will go to the next track. But they don’t support going to the previous track. Which I don’t like. There is a slight delay to all of these to fully register. But the forced feedback of the physical button is immediate, you know when you press it, when it registers, and is easy to multi-press. It DOES support single bud use with either bud. This feature works well where I can take just one out of the case and it will connect immediately or if I had two earbuds in, I can put one away and it will easily switch. Or take one out while using one to use both and they auto connected to each other quickly. I had no problems with any of it. If you remove an earbud from your ear it will auto pause. It does come with an app allowing you access to finer tune your settings and adjust your EQ if wanted. It’s a nice app. Case is small and compact. Good finish that will prevent scratches from appearing from normal everyday use in your pocket. Earbuds attach magnetically inside. As does the opening hatch. Opening hatch feels solid. It comes with a blue mood light that makes them look all futuristic. USB C for charging. I love it. Sound quality for most people will be great. I’d rate them above average but not great. But solid for wireless earbuds. Clear highs, mids, and lows. Lows are dependent on seal and how well they fit your ears. It’s not overpowering. Highs are clear and allow you to feel some of the emotion in them. Mids are fine. Small soundstage. Imaging is alright. They won’t be winning the award of best sounding on the market. But for the price I think they sound solid. CONCLUSION: These have other features I didn’t mention. But I think I hit the most important ones. This thing does everything well. It may not be the best of the best in multiple categories. But there isn’t anything that it does poorly. All the important things they do above average, especially for the price. And you get so many features for that price. But for me the main selling point is being able to plug them into any 3.5 mm aux port and then get wireless sound. Which is just such an amazing feature that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Along with the UVnano case cleaning them when charging. Even without these features I’d still recommend them at this price point.

Q: QuestionHas anyone tried this with a PS4/PS5 or Xbox controller? I assume that the plug and wireless doesn't carry voice so it wouldn't really work as a gaming headset and really just carry the sound. But I wanted to double check if anyone tried.
Asked by BigShoots920.
- A:Answer Yes I have used them with a ps4 controller. They work okayish. You are correct in that there is no voice. There is also a lot of latency to the point where it is distracting from the game. You should also know that these will fall apart after using them for about 3 months and LG will not warranty this as they see it as physical damage even though the only thing I used them for was putting into and out of my ears.

Q: QuestionI have the old school lg platinum wired ones .. they read my text messages to me so I don't have to take my phone out to see them.. do these do the same thing? It is highly important for my job!
