LG TONE Free FN7 - Active Noise Cancelling True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Meridian Sound, Dual Microphone for Work/Home Office, iPhone and Android Compatible, Black

These ear buds are not the most expensive pair but they are great for taking calls, listening to podcasts and music. They are worth the money.

Best earbuds I’ve ever had

The pairing process was easy and seamless. I opened the case and the phone offered a pair within about 5 seconds. Then, it checked for updates and asked if I'd like to update. It didn't take too long (about 2 minutes) to update the earbuds, 1 by 1.Out of the box, the battery level for the case was at 81% and the earbuds were at 95%. The case quickly went to 100% in about 1-2 minutes after being plugged in. The earbuds went to 100% about 10 minutes after being plugged in.Default EQ mode was bass boost and anc/ambience modes off.These have a feature I didn't know about which reads notifications. The buds seem to have good customization in the app.The case seems to be of very high quality and it's slim and small. Nicely crafted and minimalistic.ANC seems superior to the Sony WF-SP800N I recently tried. It produces less noise and cancels better. Since owning an update to the software has applied which changes the amount of noise reduction. Even in a noisy "Chucky-Cheese-like" restaurant it didn't seem to make a real difference. I'm not sure under which scenario I can really notice the difference. I ended up leaving it on high during the time I spent there (waiting for car to get detailed) just in-case and to see how well the battery lasted.The bass boost profile isn't anything like Sony's but of course it's more natural and sounds great. It makes sense because bassier songs have more bass. It doesn't seem to bother the mids and highs. Natural sounds the same as bass boost, but without the bass boost. Great job on the bass boost, in that case. Immersive widens the sound stage and pronounces mids a bit. Treble boost does what it says and I find it a bit sharp.I'd say bass boost and natural sound the best. Overall I've ended up settling on bass boost.One downside is the EQ must be adjusted in entirety then saved before it takes effect. First, though, you have to switch to custom and let it automatically apply flat EQ. When I click custom, having it at flat is expected but it should immediately go to the EQ to let me adjust it how I'd like. I shouldn't have to save it to test my changes. It should change on-the-fly.It's a bit annoying since it's an 8-band rather than a 3-band. It's a lot of things to adjust if you want to manually adjust it, considering the amount of back and fourth you must experience to test different settings.The EQ also lacks anything to modify things like sound stage, unlike the custom presets. I don't think I will ever really want to use the EQ since it's so complicated to adjust and bass boost sounds so good anyways. But it's a feature so it has to be criticized if necessary.Default 2 tap on an ear bud says it's "volume control" but it just pauses the song. Not sure what's going on with that. The other controls functioned as described in the app.Pause and resume for removal from the ear and re-insertion is adequately quick.Range is better on the Sony earbuds. I only got to the kitchen doorway before they cut out. The Sony's I had mentioned got all the way to the fridge. That's another 6+ feet and it's technically closer (straight-line distance) but probably more obstructed by things like cabinets and the fridge. While cleaning my car in my driveway, if I leave the phone in the garage the ear buds cut out when I go behind the car. I wish these had more range. I really bought them for gym use but I've ended up using them more for cleaning my car or listening to music in bed when it's late.These don't work on bluetooth with my laptop. At first, it had audio in both sides and it randomly switched to not playing audio. It causes massive lag when navigating playback and recording device menus. Can only get sound in the left side after it went off. Eventually I couldn't get sound at all. Basically, this means it doesn't work with Windows. Never even got to test the mic on PC because of this.I did test the mic recording audio on the S21 Ultra, and it wasn't great. It sounds very shallow, like it's on an old phone or something.Had a random issue as well where a call went to the left only. Repaired earbuds and put the right side in and it had a buzzing noise. Repaired again and it started working again.When using 1 earbud you only get the audio from that channel. It doesn't downmix to mono.The text read-outs I mentioned earlier weren't working, initially. Once they started to work I noticed it didn't read them out very loudly so I could barely make out the words during music which was at 50% volume.After a week of not using them and leaving them in their charging case, I took them out and they were only 79% charged. After 1 hour 15 minutes of use (high volume) they went down to 62% with ANC on (prior to having the two modes of ANC).Regarding the charge level when I hadn't used them I think it was the USB cable I was using. I swapped it for the one that came with it and the problem seems to have gone away.One annoying thing that occurred is that when I have them on the counter in the kitchen they randomly start connecting to the phone. This is VERY ANNOYING when I INTENTIONALLY disconnected it.I lost connection in the left ear while washing the car once. When it resumed it wasn't sending audio synchronized in each channel. Pausing and playing didn't resolve the issue.They lose seal while washing car with stock tips. The larger tips seem better but I'm not too sure. It seems like they are too large as well. I wish there were something in between stock and large.

I love the quality of the sound and how it feel to the ear and the noise cancellation is amazing. Very good quality I would recommend them to all of my friends and family

Really wanted to love these. Love lg products but kinda dissapointed with these earbuds. They actually sound really good for only having a 6mm driver and no tweeter. Better than many other headphones with bigger drivers but the max volume on these is very low compared to most. The problem is that they are contantly losing connection while in use and seem to have issues. Might just be the pair i got but they are unuseable. When they work they are ok but not great. Like the case style but is missing the nano uv function like shown in all online reviews.

Firstly I just have to say that I'm kind of a DIY person. If it doesn't fit me to a T, I'll generally try to find a work around instead of DEMANDING that the earbuds somehow fit everyone including me. Sometimes it just doesn't and I get that.Regarding the sound, the system is great, there's a decent amount of customization depending on the type of music or podcasts you're listening to, but not too much to overwhelm you. I found a profile that works and stuck to itThe noise cancelling works well but just like many other earbuds in constant and intense noise, it will sound like the system's cancellation strength ebbs and flows in waves. Again, not a problem if you're in a mildly chatty coffee shop.This next part is what causes hesitation. About 4 months in I was fumbling around with my earbuds to get them quickly in my ears at a stoplight when driving. I dropped the left one on the carpet, and when I picked it up I could hear a loud, high pitched sound coming from the earbud as if there was some sort of feedback loop happening. Since then the Earbud has stopped working. Honestly, I've had stuff like this happen before and it wouldn't be much of a problem, but the sound cancelling doesn't work in the right earbud now. It doesn't matter if I wear the left one or block my ears. This really great sound system is essentially shot after losing the left earbud's sound.So I'm caught in a loop here. Do I go with another company that maybe makes their products able to last longer? Or go with one of those cheap company's with worse sound, noise cancelling, but lasts longer? Or is this company just one of the bad ones?

I've had these headphones for about 2 years now, and the right ear bud has stopped working over the past few days. Over all, they are great, I use them while laying in bed or at work, and they are great to use while at the gym.

Fantastic quality...noise cancelling is excellent...holds a charge brilliantly. Totally worth the extra bucks. Got them after my Millenial daughter warned me about cheap buds.
