LG Tone Free FN7: Meet the Cleanest True Wireless Headphones on The Market

True Wireless headsets are dominating the market. There are expensive, cheap, excellent and bad models. The LG Tone Free stand out for three reasons: they offer good performance, have good features and an excellent price/performance ratio.

There is a lot of competition with models from brands such as Sennheiser, Cambridge Audio, Sony and Panasonic. That said, the LG Tone Free FN7 are on par with the best, performance-wise. In this review, we tell you about all the features, pros and cons of the LG Tone Free headphones.

LG Tone Free FN7 Design

LG is a guarantee of quality construction. The company's portfolio is very broad, ranging from televisions to refrigerators. All of their products perform flawlessly, and the LG Tone Free FN7 headphones are no exception. The cups take on the design of the Apple AirPods, but look more streamlined. The best part: they are quite small.

They look good, with a sleek finish. The stems are marked, and you have to touch them to access controls, but they are attractive In-Ear True Wireless headphones. The compact circular case has a matte finish that is more durable but less glossy. You can carry the case in any pocket without any problems.

Comfort

The LG Tone Free FN7 headphones are very comfortable. Each cup weighs only 5.6 grams. You can use them in long sessions and forget you are wearing them after a while. In addition, they come with several hypoallergenic silicone gel pads that adapt well to any user.

They fit securely, and can be used in any environment. They are not designed for athletes, but they are IPX4 certified, so they can withstand sweat without problems. You cannot submerge them in a swimming pool, although they can also withstand rain splashes.

Controls and functions

They work with Bluetooth 5.0 technology, and connectivity works flawlessly over a wide range. They support SBC and AAC codecs that allow you to stream high-resolution formats from any service.

Unfortunately, they do not support the aptX Low Latency codec, although you only need it if you want to watch movies or series on the road, as aptX latency is minimal. They integrate 6mm neodymium drivers, created with the help of Meridian Audio. These transducers are robust and high-performing, with the quality guarantee offered by both companies.

The ear buds of the LG Tone Free headphones integrate touch controls, and you can also operate them with the cool Tone Free app. By pressing the cups you can manage volume, playback, fast forward or rewind songs, activate active noise cancellation or ambient mode, and answer or turn off calls. Each cup integrates three microphones responsible for the latter functions.

LF's Tone Free application allows you to change the touch controls to your personal taste. It also offers different equalization modes to emphasize different frequencies, improve spatiality or sound fidelity.

In addition, you can switch between high or low active noise cancellation modes, or activate the “Find my headphones” function. This last function is very useful, as it locates the headphones if you lose them, something that often happens with earbuds.

LG Tone Free FN7 Autonomy

In terms of battery life, it lasts five hours per cup with active noise cancellation. Without the ANC, the battery lasts about seven hours. In addition, the charging case/charging base gives you two additional full charges, for a total of 21 hours, or 15 with the ANC.

It's not the most amazing capability on the market. It actually falls a bit short when compared to the best True Wireless headsets. Nevertheless, it's quite decent and is sufficient for most users.

The case has UVnano technology that cleans up to 99.9% of the bacteria from the earbuds just by leaving them on the charging base for 10 minutes, a feature we have not seen elsewhere. The LG Tone Free FN7 case charges with a USB-C port, and integrates LED status lights. Likewise, you can charge it wirelessly with a certified Qi pad.

Sound quality

We tested the LG Tone Free using Meridian natural equalization, playing 24bit/88.2kHz files, and perceived a rich sound at all frequencies. Bass sounds deep and controlled, with good detail to differentiate between digital instruments and machines. The sound profile is well balanced and the timings sound correct.

They do not handle the rhythmic aspects of complex recordings in the best way. That said, conventional songs sound very solid. The mid-tones have excellent detail, while the high tones are crisp and clear. The LG Tone Free speakers offer a dynamic sound, with subtle details in all tones. In this price range, they excel in sound quality.

The noise cancellation technology is robust. When you set the ANC of the LG Tone Free FN7 headphones to the high level, they considerably reduce all external noise. However, it doesn't compare to the technology offered by the Sony WF or the Bose QuietComfort. At the low level, the ANC is really weak and doesn't protect you much. On the other hand, the microphones work very well for making calls. Voices are clear and full.

What do we like about the LG Tone Free headphones?

They have a good construction quality, are comfortable, light and resistant. They offer good sound quality and feature active noise cancellation technology. The best thing: the price is very fair for everything they offer.

What don't we like?

The battery is limited. The case gives you extra charges, but many other True Wireless have better batteries. Also, the active noise cancellation is not the best, solid, but not the best.

Conclusion

The LG Tone Free FN7 True Wireless headphones are great value for money. The build quality is good, they offer great sound quality, and the active noise cancellation is solid, though not the best. The battery leaves something to be desired, but overall, they are a good choice and are attractively priced. Interested? Find the best price on this link.
