Top features of LG TONE Free FN7 Earbuds

UVnano charging cradle for sanitization

Let us begin by mentioning the unique feature of the LG TONE Free HBS-FN7 earbuds that were recently launched in India. These truly wireless earbuds are hygiene conscious! They come with an innovative UVnano charging cradle. LG claims that the ultraviolet light of this cradle sanitizes the earbuds while charging, eliminating 99.9% bacteria. However, it is still advisable to manually clean the earbuds regularly to remove the debris buildup.

Audio excellence of LG TONE Free FN7

The charging cradle of LG TONE Free FN7 is excellent, but it alone cannot make the earbuds special. The actual value of audio devices is in the audio quality they deliver.

Well, the premium quality FN7 true wireless earbuds score well even in this department. LG has partnered with Meridian Audio, a trusted name in audio technology. LG TONE Free FN7 (and FN6) uses Digital Signal Processing technology by Meridian. It can deliver a realistic soundstage with clear vocals. These earbuds also have silicone-infused drivers for creating a fuller and richer bass. And for better resolution of mid-high sound frequencies, FN7 has a specially designed dome with a stronger metal layer and denser texture dampers.

In short, the LG TONE Free FN7 uses several advanced technologies to deliver a superior audio experience.

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

LG TONE Free HBS-FN7 provides Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for a more immersive listening experience. Besides passive noise isolation, these truly wireless earbuds can also neutralize external sounds using microphones.

Each FN7 earbud has three microphones that monitor the external noise. These earbuds have adjustable ear gels with a patented twist-fit Vortex Ribs design for a tighter in-ear seal. This, too, helps in minimizing the outside noise seepage. This design also helps in fitting the earbuds in the ears more snugly. Thanks to all these, the interference from the external noise is minimized and you can enjoy clearer audio without having to raise the volume.

Microphones

As mentioned earlier, each LG FN7 earbud has three microphones. These high-performance microphones help in cancelling the outside noise and delivering better call quality. The upper microphone detects external noise while the inner microphone cancels out the unwanted noise. The lower microphone picks up and amplifies vocals to deliver clearer call quality, even in a crowded space.

LG TONE Free FN7 Design

FN7 earbuds and their cradle are compact devices that can fit easily into your palm. These come in black and white colour options.

LG HBS-FN7 true wireless earbuds have an ergonomic shape. They have medical-grade ear gels that conform to the ear shape. They also have twist-fit Vortex Ribs design that helps them fit snugly and securely in your ear. Their head-centred weight distribution further helps in keeping them snug in the ear.

Each earbud has a touchpad on the outside that helps in controlling phone, media, and wireless assistant (Siri & Google Assistant) with customizable single, double, and triple taps. The touchpad controls include Play/Pause, Volume Up/Down, and Previous/Next Track. You can also receive a call with a single tap on the touchpad and end the call with double taps.

The charging case of these earbuds is covered with a black soft-touch material that makes them comfortable to hold and prevents them from slipping from hand or table. It has LED lighting for indicating the charging level and UVnano status. Measuring only 54.5 x 54.5 x 27.5 mm, it is one of the smallest earbud cases. You can easily carry it around in your pocket. And its strong magnetic design keeps the earbuds held securely in place over the charging pins. The USB-C charging port is located at the back of this case.

Water-resistant

These premium earbuds are IPX4-rated water-resistant. This keeps them safe from being spoiled by sweat and rain. However, water-resistant doesn’t mean waterproof. So spills and submerging in water can still damage them.

Battery

LG HBS-FN7 earbuds are equipped for fast and wireless charging. As per LG, they have 21-hour long battery life. This includes up to 7 hours of playback and an extra 14 hours in the cradle from a single charge.

If you need to make the battery last longer, you can use each earbud independently. Listening through only one earbud may also prove useful while working or commuting.

LG TONE Free App

Download the LG TONE Free app to take the best advantage of these earbuds. This app is available for Android and iOS devices. Through this app, you can access Meridian’s EQ sound settings and adjust the sound quality as per your preferences. You can choose from 4 sound modes. These include Natural for a clean and balanced sound, Immersive for better three-dimensional performance, Bass Boost to add extra power and depth to the audio, and Treble Boost to make the vocals ring clearer.

In addition to these sound settings, the app can also help you check the battery status of the earbuds and the charging case. You can use the app to manage equalizer settings, lock the touchpad or customize its settings, and toggle Active Noise Cancellation, Ambient Sound, and Notification settings. The app can also come in handy for finding a lost earbud and performing software updates.

LG FN7 price in India

LG FN7 earbuds are priced at INR 29,990 in India. They are available in Stylish Black and Modern White colour options at LG OBS (Online Brand Store), popular e-commerce platforms, and offline retail outlets.
