The LG TONE không tính tiền HBS-FN6 is a gem among a sea of AirPods-look-alike duds: the buds are IPX4-rated, and the silicone ear tips are very comfortable. Unless you’re regularly sharing earbuds, the UVnano charging case isn’t much lớn gloat about, but the sound chất lượng is great for consumers looking for relatively accurate audio reproduction. For the price, these aren’t the best deal, & we recommend getting the non-UVnano case version, or considering the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus, among other alternatives.

The LG TONE miễn phí HBS-FN6 is simple lớn use, and does as its name promises: frees users so they may go about, uninhibited by cables. LG kept it simple all the way down to lớn the màu sắc variants—black or white. In a time when true wireless earphones are being dropped in droves, is Meridian Audio tuning enough khổng lồ make LG’s buds shine, or will they grow cold in the shadow of their direct competition?

Editor’s note: this LG TONE miễn phí HBS-FN6 đánh giá was updated on December 21, 2020, lớn reflect changes in pricing.

Who should get the LG TONE không lấy phí HBS-FN6?

The earbuds take on a familiar shape to lớn much of the competition.

Hygienic listeners may be eased by knowing that the UVnano case is rated to lớn kill up lớn 99.9% of S. Aureus & E. Coli bacteria on the earbuds.

Editor’s note: this LG TONE miễn phí HBS-FN6 review was written while using firmware version 1.31.1.

Using the LG TONE không lấy phí HBS-FN6

Automatic ear-detecting sensors force your music khổng lồ pause when the buds are removed, but you must manually resume playback via onboard controls or your phone.

LG’s perfectly circular charging case hides scratches and scuffs well, and features a toned down design—though not as minimal as the táo khuyết AirPods. A long indentation along the seam made it easy to mở cửa the case, even single-handedly. To manually pair the headset, you’ll have to inch your thumb to lớn a button offset from the LED indicator, both of which are nestled below the case’s seam.

Opening the case leaves a greater impression than the exterior design: two blue-tinted LEDs momentarily alight the silicone ear tips. No matter how many times I opened the case, the xanh glow consistently impressed me. The xanh lights, however, are purely decorative and have nothing to bởi vì with the UVnano technology.

These rival the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus as the most comfortable earbuds around.

UVnano giải pháp công nghệ is just LG’s version of two UV lights that were tested by TÜV SÜD, and proven to lớn kill 99.9% of Staphylococcus aureus (S. Aureus) & Escherichia coli (E. Coli) bacteria. For this khổng lồ work, close the lid for 10 minutes lớn complete the UV exposure cycle. This is dandy, and could even aid in preventing ear infections, but we still recommend physically cleaning your earbuds on a routine basis. Doing so will remove physical debris that may catch in the nozzle mesh, or find its way into your ear canals.

Only the very vị trí cao nhất of the stem may register touch commands.

The earbuds feature dedicated nozzles và silicone ear tips (small, medium, large), and the ear tip material is extremely comfortable. I wore the earbuds until the batteries died without any signs of discomfort. Each earbud has a touch panel which only consists of the upper-quarter of the stems. This small area led to a lot of misfires, especially when walking around. I mean a lot: eventually, I stopped relying on the touch controls and used my phone instead.

Should you get the LG TONE không lấy phí app?

The LG TONE không tính phí app offers immediate access khổng lồ firmware updates, no matter what operating system you use. This is important for wireless headsets, because it elongates the lifecycle of a given product & convenience tweaks along the way. Its layout is easy lớn understand, và the user manual is front-and-center for you to lớn refer back to lớn anytime.

In order lớn enable Google Assistant access, you must get the LG TONE free app.

Other features include equalizer settings: you can choose from four Meridian presets (Immersive, Bass Boost, Natural, Treble Boost), or create two of your own presets. You may also choose between three degrees of ambient passthrough intensity, adjust the volume, remap the cảm ứng controls, và lock the touchpads altogether. Incoming notifications can also be read aloud, but you must enable systems permissions for data collection.

Connection stability isn’t flawless

The inside of the case lights xanh for a few seconds every time it’s opened.

Bluetooth 5.0 firmware doesn’t guarantee perfect wireless performance, as demonstrated by the LG TONE không tính tiền HBS-FN6: when I was outside the connection hiccuped a few times every hour. Another drawback, albeit an unsurprising one, is the lack of công nghệ bluetooth multipoint support. You may only connect lớn one device at a time, & switching must be done manually.

Android phones don’t give you CD-quality playback with AAC.

High-quality bluetooth không dây codec support is limited khổng lồ AAC, & this works very well with iPhones but not so well with Androids. We have an entire breakdown of why headsets that only support SBC and AAC shouldn’t be used with Android, but in sum, it’s not the codec’s fault. Instead, apk doesn’t efficiently decode AAC which leads lớn latency, inconsistent streaming rates, and the introduction of unwanted noise (compression artifacts) into your music.

This won’t ruin your experience by any means, especially if you have older ears or have attended many concerts sans-earplugs. Even still, it’s hard khổng lồ discern the difference between công nghệ bluetooth không dây codec qualities unless you’re in ideal conditions. Anyone apk user who fancies themself a critical listener won’t be satisfied with just AAC support.

How long does the battery last?

We subjected the earbuds lớn our standard battery test, a constant 75dB(SPL) output, và they lasted exactly 5 hours, which is one hour short of the specified 6-hour playtime. The earphones may be fast charged: five minutes in the case yields one hour of playtime, and the USB-C charging case provides an additional two charge cycles.

In total you should get anywhere from 15-18 hours of use from the LG TONE miễn phí HBS-FN6 before you need to tìm kiếm for a USB-C cable. You may also use any Qi wireless charger to vị trí cao nhất the case up, but doing so will likely be slower than by cable. Interestingly, I was able to charge the case atop my Samsung Galaxy S10e with Wireless PowerShare enabled.

Does Meridian Audio tuning help sound quality?

The neutral-leaning sound signature may be off putting lớn bass-thirsty consumers.

Meridian Audio did a very good job tuning these earphones for the audio enthusiast. More casual consumers accustomed khổng lồ bass-heavy sound signatures won’t be pleased with what may be miscategorized as “non-existent bass,” when in reality, the bass notes are accurately rendered. The problem is that we consumers are trained khổng lồ consider a 5-15dB bass emphasis normal, so when we encounter accurately reproduced low notes, our brains perceive it as woefully inaccurate. All this is khổng lồ say, the LG TONE không tính phí HBS-FN6 sound very good & handle a variety of music well; though, clarity isn’t quite as good as the price tag may suggest.

Isolation is above average for a pair of in-ears, & background conversations are essentially muted.

The sub-bass emphasis barely hits the threshold of perceptibility, but affects that tangible oomph we so enjoy in pop và hip-hop genres. A more significant bump around 1kHz brings out vocal và instrumental resonances, making it easier for us khổng lồ perceive detail. That dip from 1.5-10kHz: don’t worry, because it’s a very common feature of headphones & earphones to combat unwanted harmonic resonances within your ear canals. These notes can be irritating khổng lồ the human brain, và are sometimes amplified when a proper seal is created, something these buds are very good at forming.

Passive isolation is good & can be attributed lớn the angled nozzles & malleable ear tip material. It never took effort to lớn get a good fit with these earbuds; it just happened, every time. If the pre-installed medium ear tips don’t work for you, try out the alternatives. Doing so is well worth it because it improves audio unique and can even protect your hearing: you’re less likely to increase the volume khổng lồ dangerous levels if the ear tips create an effective barrier between you & the outside world.

Lows, mids, & highs

The song Uncharted by Sara Bareilles begins with a popular F-C-G-Am intro on the piano, và these chords come through clearly in the first verse without masking Bareilles’ vocals. I appreciated the light cảm ứng on bass alterations when listening lớn Uncharted: the slamming of Bareilles’ fingers khổng lồ play the F chords in the second half of the first verse resonates loudly, as it should, without impeding the reproduction of her voice.

Minor auditory masking occurs during the choruses, as is to be expected during particularly racketous portions of a song. To hear this, skip ahead lớn 1:44: it becomes nearly impossible khổng lồ hear any detail from the secondary electric guitar because of how the kick drum, vocals, và main guitar mask it. Cymbal hits can also be difficult khổng lồ perceive which may be heard during the end of the third verse (2:26).

Can I use the LG TONE không tính tiền HBS-FN6 for phone calls?

The microphone system does a pretty good job of transmitting vocals, but also relays background noise.

Yes, LG outfitted each earbud with a dual-microphone array for clear vocal transmission, & it relays fine audio. The microphones strategically de-emphasize low-frequency notes lớn combat the proximity effect. While this is good because it prevents bass notes from clipping, it also can make very low registers sound “hollow.”

There is one major problem with the microphone system, though: it fails khổng lồ reduce background noise. When on the phone with my mother, she noted that my placing of scissors in a wooden drawer sounded as loud as my voice. Keep this in mind if you’re a multitasker when you take calls.

Consider alternatives from Samsung or Anker SoundCore

Maybe LG’s true wireless earphones don’t appeal to you, that’s fine. We’re living in a golden age of true wireless earbuds, và two great alternatives to the LG TONE không tính tiền HBS-FN6: the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus và Anker SoundCore Liberty Air 2, both of which are more affordable than LG’s buds.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus are cheaper than the LG TONE Free, và more versatile.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus are even smaller than LG’s và are tuned by AKG, another famed audio company. Its high-quality bluetooth không dây codec support is also limited to AAC, but Samsung Galaxy điện thoại cảm ứng thông minh owners will benefit from the Samsung Scalable Codec. Microphone chất lượng is better with the Galaxy Buds Plus, và the cảm ứng controls have the opposite problem: they’re a bit too sensitive.

Even cheaper are the Anker SoundCore Liberty Air 2 true wireless earphones which also feature a stemmed kiến thiết with cảm ứng panels. The cảm biến controls are a tad more responsive than what I experienced with the LG TONE không lấy phí headset. Anker SoundCore’s buds are the only ones listed to include aptX support; though, the mặc định sound signature strays the farthest from accurate. It’s bass-heavy sound is noticeable, but easily mitigated in the SoundCore application. The earphones are IPX5 water-resistant, and like all the buds discussed in this LG TONE miễn phí HBS-FN6 review, the Liberty Air 2 support quick charging.
