Lg Tone Free FP8 still good? 9 month review

Hello everyone Marcus, it's a pleasure to see you all again today, we'll talk about these. These are the

free

LG Tone fp8 headphones with ANC, so the fb8 came out in late 2021 with some hugely positive

review

s. I got my fp8s in early 2022, while they were on sale for about 90 US dollars, I've had them for about nine

month

s, I've tested them and I have a pretty

good

idea of ​​how they perform. In today's video I will talk about the fp8. fit and comfort battery sound quality controls and of course sharing my final thoughts let's go over the specs first so the LG fp8 comes with active noise cancellation Bluetooth 5.2 each earbud is very lightweight weighing 5.2 grams, the charging case comes with UV light that is supposed to kill 99.9 of bacteria, it comes with up to 24 hours of battery life and I haven't been able to find any information on the driver side of the earbud which is a Strangely enough, most audio device manufacturers like to list the size of their drivers in terms of fit and comfort, FBA comes with three silicone eartips in the typical small, medium, and large sizes.

Now if you watch my video on the Sony xm3s, my biggest complaint with those headphones is that they don't stay in my ear, the LG on the other hand. The Toneless FPS fit incredibly well, not only because they are without a doubt one of the most comfortable headphones I have ever used, but they fit comfortably in my ears without any problems no matter if I am sitting, walking or running with the fp8. They never come loose and for me this makes them a great all-round headphone for any occasion when it comes to using the fp8 for long periods of time.

They're great when I'm in the office. I can wear these headphones all day without any discomfort. It's probably due to the incredibly soft silicone tips as well as the incredibly light weight of each earbud, as I said before, each earbud weighs only 5.2 grams in the battery case, according to LG's website, the fp8s without

tone

can last a total of 24 hours. 10 hours with the earbuds alone and an additional 14 hours of battery life with the charging case. Now, the hours quoted here are based on using the headphones with active noise cancellation disabled for me. ANSI is almost always on when I use them.

The only time I really turn ANC off is when I'm doing something like ordering a coffee or having a very short conversation now with ANC on. I got about six hours of use out of the headphones before they needed to be charged after charging. I was

still

able to get about another 14 hours of battery life out of the charging case, speaking of the case. I love the compact size and weight of this case. I have no problem putting it in my jacket pockets or my backpack. The case also has a nice soft feel to it. Touch rubbery feel, making it easier for you to hold the opening of the case.

You can see that the fp8 sit perfectly inside the earbuds and snap easily into place thanks to the magnetic locking mechanism on the back of the case. Here you will find the USBC port for LG has also been promoting its UV light cleaning in the case of the fp8s. This is a cool feature and to start with, there are a few things you should know about UV cleaning. UV cleaning only works on the speaker mesh and then only UV cleaning. turns on when this case is connected to a USB charging source without proper equipment. I can't say for sure if this is a hack or if it actually works, but I don't mind having this problem if the feature really works. so that's great if it doesn't work well.

I'm the only one who uses these headphones and I'm a pretty clean guy when it comes to sound quality out of the box. The fp8 sound

good

compared to my Sony xm3. The Sonys definitely sound fuller and have stronger bass. I suspect the fp8's controller is actually a bit smaller, which is why LG didn't include this information in their online specs. That said, using the app you can adjust the sound profiles. or create your own personally because I usually listen to music and watch movies. I like to have stronger bass so I adjusted my sound profiles to match this after tweaking the FBA a bit to really make it sound great and I couldn't be more pleased and this is how the microphone sounds like I said before.

I wear them all day during my work meetings or when I talk on the phone with my friends or make video calls so far. I haven't heard any complaints about Clarity or Now you can understand me, it's your turn, what do you think about the quality of the fp8 microphone? Leave me a comment in the comments section below, how does active noise cancellation work on the fp8? Well, the LG fp8s ANC is pretty good, as I said before. I left ANC on about 99 of the time I use these headphones if you're walking down a busy street, it doesn't completely block out the sound of traffic, but with ANC on you can clearly hear a difference in overall background noise.

The fp8's ANC does a great job of reducing the amount of ambient noise so you can hear your music or phone calls clearly. If you remember from my

review

of the xm3, one thing that drove me crazy about the ANC is the wind noise, the slightest breeze. the xm3s caused a loud wind noise in my ear. I'm happy to say that with the LG fp8s this is significantly better in most situations, you don't hear any wind noise while walking outside, the only time I really started to hear any wind noise. It was on a very windy day or when cycling at high speeds.

As far as the controls go, both earbuds have a single capacitive button on the outside. LG made sure that you can easily find this button with just one touch, this is because the button is actually slightly raised, the capacitive buttons are sensitive enough and a light touch is enough for them to register your finger using the

free

app from LG. In fact, you can customize touch commands based on one tap, double tap, or triple tap, each tap can be set to do things like play music, adjust volume, change tracks, and activate voice commands. You can also customize touch commands for each individual earbud.

Talking about the free LG Tone app, you can download this app on the iOS or Android app stores while you don't. Actually, you don't need to download this app to use the fp8s. You will need it if you want to make any type of customization to your headphones. I found the free ring

tone

app to be minimalist while

still

being useful. Using the app, you can adjust the equalizer settings by tapping Controls set the ANC power activate voice alert settings locate your earbuds and of course update the software. Well, it's time for my final thoughts. So should you guys buy the LG Tone fpas for free if you can get the fp8s at the same $90 retail price as me?

I bought them because they are definitely worth it. I've really enjoyed my time with the fp8 so far. They are comfortable, easy to use, have good battery life and are excellent and C for headphones. Well, that's all for today. Thank you all for watching. I would like to know more about what I am doing. You can follow me on Instagram and Twitter at pewx31 or on YouTube and Facebook at pux3. Thanks and see you in the next video.
