LG TONE Free True Wireless Bluetooth FP9W - Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds with UVnano Charging Case, White
- So I am writing this while still listening to these (have about 5 hours in them so far) and let me just say I am really impressed. I\'m kind of a headphone junkie (not an audiophile, there is a difference). I have the Airpods Pro, Galaxy Buds Pro, Surface Earbuds, Powerbeats Pro, Studio Buds, Sony Linkbuds, had WF-1000xm3 (returned them because the mics were HORRIBLE and I have to have good mics on all my buds because I use them for calling constantly). But for these FP9s the $137 I paid is just incredible and there is so much to like but with a few kind of big issues. Let\'s break it down:PROs:- Comfort: Love the fit!! I use the large eartips and they are just great. Lightweight, low profile, and even the case is just a wonderful feel in the hand. Nice seal in the ear as well.- ANC: This one shocked me. For $137 the ANC is fantastic. Coming from someone who owns Bose 700s, WH-10000XM5s, XM4s, and Surface Headphones for over-ears, these do a GREAT job of isolation and cancelation for in-ears and in my opinion punch quite a bit above their price class!- Color: Obviously this is subjective but gold is tough to pull off without looking tacky and honestly if they hadn\'t done it so well, I would not have bought these, but wanted gold in my collection so here I am.- Features: the analog dongle for the case and UV sanitation are just so cool. I mean come on, it may be a bit gimmicky but it worked, I love those features and the corded option is actually super useful. This next week I\'m gonna try it with TEAMs and see if it makes for a good virtual calling solution ovr BT.- Audio/Call Quality: This is a mixed bag and gonna be in the Pros and Cons so hang in there. 95% of the audio is great. Mids, highs, clarity are great. Trade blows with good headphones! There are better but there are also MUCH MUCH wworse.CONS:- Updating: Let me get the star killer out of the way first!!! This is the thing that MADE me HAVE to give 4 stars when literally EVERYTHING else deserves 5. UPDATES ARE ATROCIOUS!!!!!!!! Out of the box mine needed an update. It took 9 TRIES TO COMPLETE. It kept failing! In my ears, on the table, in the case, close to the phone, on top of the phone, app on top, app minimized, ANC on/off. I even left my house since it has a TON of wireless interference with my wifi and all my smart devices. Still failed. SO WHAT DID IT!!!? The last thing I could think of, I had to disconnect my Galaxy Watch 4 from my S22 Ultra\'s Bluetooth. Then it passed first time.... Come on LG, seriously this kind of buggy crap is ridiculous in 2022! I started thinking \"I knew it, I shouldn\'t have given LG a chance!\" But lucky for you LG I wanted to like these SOO bad due to the innovative features, I fought through it. At one point I even had to reset the headphones to factory because one earbud was completely unresponsive and couldn\'t be found by the case. This lost the star which hurts but for anyone else experiencing this they would have probably done worse. Very disappointing but let\'s move on.- No \"Speak to Talk\": This 2nd one is another big one for me! Having been daily driving the Galaxy Buds Pro and WH-1000XM5 lately (got XM5s launch day and spent 6-10 hours in them daily since) I was disappointed to see these don\'t have a \"speak to talk\" mode. What I mean is you can\'t start talking and have \"Transparency\" mode kick in automagically, you have to toggle it with touch gesture or in app. This was a feature I just assumed these had given how innovative they are, and one I use/rely on daily. It\'s nice to have ANC on, then walk up to someone and speak, it flip to Transparency, then 10 seconds later auto enable ANC again. But nope. Sad Day.- Sound: Here is the CON counterpart to sound. Even with \"Bass Boost\" these don\'t have fantastic bass, it can sound a smidge \"tinny\". I know these are small earbuds but my Galaxy Buds Pro blow these away on base so I was a tad underwhelmed and I\'m not a bass heavy guy.- Ear Tips: lastly (and this is gonna be nit picky so skip if you just want the conclusion) the eartips are sticky which make for a great seal, but the problem is they are so thin they turn inside out every time I take them out of my ears and I have to correct them before they go back in the case. Just a little thicker at the fold point and problem solved. Not big, just an annoyance.That\'s it folks. I love these earbuds! So portable, light, affordable, and just full of innovation and surprises. I think LG is on their way to some great earbuds if they keep improving.Quick Tip: Another suggestion LG is please make your EQ levels viewable and an option to edit 1 part and save as a \"Custom\" EQ. Sony has this and I use the crap out of it.Back to the conclusion, if you are looking for a great pair of unique headphones from a company I never expected to get it right, buy these. They far exceeded my expectations (and yet nailed others with that poor update issue). I would not spend $200 for these. At that prive get the Galaxy Buds Pro as those are my favs all around up until now (Can be had for $149 if you are patient); but if you can still get these for $137, snag them!! They are a great \"Bang for Buck\" earbud. Happy listening.
- UPDATE: LG sent me a working pair. LG support isn\'t the easiest to deal with and you need to be active in staying on top of requested documentation as well as sending requested documents in the package you mail them (read carefully what they request).They did do their job in a timely manner and did not try and claim damages that were nonexistant to force me to pay for the repair like other companies I dealt with. I feel my review still holds up as to the positives of this product so I will leave it as is.LG was SO CLOSE to perfection with this product. Little hiccups here and there like static cuts while listening (while very rare) and a sound mode that can\'t handle bass set as the default (that can be changed) keep this from being perfection. For people who demand high performance but refuse to get their hands dirty to tinker on even a superficial level, you won\'t be happy.While it may not be perfect, excellent design choices such as software having the instruction manual as an easy non-intrusive optional scrolling slide, UV disinfectant light, Aux to bluetooth conversion, Meridian sound customization options, and intuitive touch controls make up for what would be deal breakers to most consumers at this price point.ORIGINAL: It breaks my heart to give these a bad review as I am a fan of LG. I own the Tone FP-5 and use them daily. Why a bad review?Sound Quality: be prepared to adjust sound quality. Do not misunderstand, meridian sound is great however the default setting is a bass heavy setting that causes the headphones to crackle. This is solved by adjusting to a different setting but most normies won\'t think to do this. There are also issues where they will cut out or make an audible high pitch ring. While not a deal breaker in the lower priced FP-5, For a $130+ pair of earbuds its unacceptable.Longevity: the problem is my case stopped charging my left ear bud. It also stopped disconnecting when enclosed in the case. My left earbud charged just fine in my FP-5 case however you should not have to buy a 2nd pair of earbuds to charge the pair you own. The issue took place after 3 months of use but I tried working around it. Since these are my higher end earphones these are the earbuds I only took out on special occasions or in my home, so the fact light use somehow mad this defective is shameful.Features: the features are why I purchased these. Turning any AUX jack into a bluetooth reciever is a brilliant idea. UV nano black light is very cleaver. IPX4 water resistance is a great design choice. However if the product doesn\'t work correctly all the great designing in the world cannot save it.Advice: I have submitted my case to LG, however if they honor the warranty remains to be seen. I may be just a rare case, however if you don\'t want to risk paying this much and having issues the lower end FP-5 have excellent sound, work great, and use the exact same software on your phone.
