LG announces the launch of new earbuds

It provides more flexibility and movement as it includes larger, upgraded drivers and diaphragms featuring silicone edging

LG Electronics has announced the launch of the new 2021 LG TONE Free FP9 and FP8 earbuds on Monday which come with a number of features such as advanced Meridian-tuned sound, 3D Sound Stage and Whispering Mode.

The new LG TONE Free lineup featuring an Arc Design comes with a 4.4 millimetres shorter stem as compared to previous models and is IPX4 rated. It provides more flexibility and movement as it includes larger, upgraded drivers and diaphragms featuring silicone edging.

The earbuds are accompanied by an auto-cleaning UVnano charging case which keeps the eartips clean. According to the company, the UV-C LED built into the cases is tested to reduce bacteria on the earbuds’ speaker mesh by 99.9 percent in just five minutes when charging wired or wirelessly.

With three microphones in each earbud, the new FP9 and FP8 offer a better calling experience by making the user’s voice clearer and with less intrusive ambient noise getting in the way.

Active noise cancelling on both new TONE Free earbuds eliminates low-frequency sounds that can’t be completely blocked by the passive noise cancellation eartips. The microphones on the earbuds listen for ambient noises and neutralise them by producing identical sound waves that are inaudible to the listener, leaving just soundwaves from the music or podcast to enjoy.

The 2021 LG TONE Free FP9/FP8 earbuds are compatible with a range of devices and can be easily pair with Windows PCs and laptops while FP9 with Plug & Wireless enables the charging case to double as a wireless dongle.

In terms of battery life, the company claims that the earbuds can deliver up to 10 hours of playback time between charges for a total of 24 hours of usage when used with the charging case. Moreover, a quick charge of five minutes in the case equates to one full hour of listening.

The new LG TONE Free FP9 and FP8 earbuds will be available starting this month in key markets in a range of colour options such as Charcoal Black, Pearl White and Haze Gold.
