Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had these buds for more than a week now and I can easily say that they are a good value for money. The sound is good (not exceptional) and there are a number of features and customization options. Here are more detailed observations: Pros: - They provide a comfortable and secure fit. They come with three sets of ear bud tips (S, M, L) and three sets of ear hooks. The medium ones fit me the best. I am sure these will fit most of the users' needs. - They have a decent battery life. I was able to get around 10 hours without ANC in a single charge. The case can also charge the buds (a feature quite common now a days). The good part is that the case can provide up-to 1 hours of charge with a 5-10 minute charging. - The case itself is pretty well designed. It has a textured exterior that helps holding it. The case also has UV Sanitizer built in that is supposed to fight the bacteria on the buds ear tips. - They have IP67 rating which means that they are officially dust and water proof and can sustain a sweaty workout without any issues. - The case can also be used as a bluetooth transmitter for non-wireless audio devices that have 3.5mm output. There is a USB-C to 3.5mm cable included in the box. - It has multipoint connectivity - The Tone-Free app provides a number of customization options Cons: - The sound quality is good but not exceptional - ANC performance is not too good - I faced connection issues few times - Some of the default presets mask the real sound Overall, even after above minor issues, these buds are a good value. They have good design, decent sound and a number of customization options and features. Go for them, you won't be disappointed.

These LG Tone Free Fit TF8Q earbuds offer a bunch of features, and are great for physical activities. Truly wireless earbuds that offer a charging case, with a unique UV sanitization capability built within. Another feature with the case is that you can simply plug the 3.5mm plug into a laptop port for example, and then use your headphones for listening purposes. Clever for multitasking. The Tone Free Fit TF8Q are great for working out. In my case I have been using them for various exercises in which I am jumping, moving aggressively, and sweating profusely. These earbuds have been doing the job they're meant to do. Staying in place and not falling out. These earbuds offer multiple fit accessories for the inner ear and also the wing component to hook into your ear cartilage. My main reason for this set of earbuds is for running outdoors and they feel comfortable enough to remain in place without having to adjust them over and over. They are truly made to move and LG SwivelGrip helps to hold them in place. The earbuds offer a few listening options such as ANC, which is LG's hybrid ANC for using 2 microphones to keep your music in your ear and block out external noise. I have found that the ANC is just so/so on these, but it does block out a minimal amount of external sound. LG Meridian offers a few preset sound settings such as Immersive, Natural, Bass Boost, Treble Boost, and 3D Sound Stage. All of these features can be found within the LG Tone Free app. And if those sound styles don't suit you there are 2 custom settings that you can tune to your preference. Overall the app is well built and offers a nice guided tour of the earbuds and settings. IP67 dust and water resistance means that you'll be able wear these on those rainy day runs without worrying about damaging your investment. Up to 30 hours of playback ability should be sufficient for travel or exercise needs. 3 microphones for phone calls will help to make sure you're heard clearly when you're on the phone. Being outside on a windy day can cause some challenges to be heard as the microphones tend to pick up the wind noise and make it hard for your caller to hear you. The unique built in UV sanitizer is an added bonus for me. Killing 99.9% of surface bacteria within 10 minutes of being placed into the charging case. Helpful for keeping your earbuds clean and ready for the next usage. The multi point and multi pairing ability of these earbuds is a welcome addition for using them in multiple settings. At one point I can be working out and pair them up to my phone, and at another moment I'm watching my Smart TV and listening on my Tone Free Fit. Excellent feature and easy to switch between devices. PRO: Great for active athletes Sanitization feature Compact CON: ANC technology could be better

The LG Tone Free fit are great earbuds with minimalist design. These earbuds appear to be simple but they pack a ton of features. A cool feature that I never seen before is that when the earbuds are in the case charging, the case reduces bacteria on the speaker mesh of the earbuds. Paring them up to the phone was relatively easy. When you open the case it automatically becomes discoverable. To take advantage of all the features you must download the free LG Tone app. The application has an interactive owner’s manual that walks you through the proper way of wearing the earbuds, the earbuds control buttons, the different color light meaning on the case and the ambient sound and noise canceling feature. The app also allows you to change the equalizer settings. The available settings are immersive, bass boost, 3D sound stage, natural and treble boost. The sound quality of these earbuds is good, but I was more impressed with the call quality. It is phenomenal. When you use them to make a call the sound is so clear that the person at the other won't notice that you're using earbuds. They sound like you talking from the actual phone. These buds come with noise canceling as well and it's great. They are also comfortable to wear. Battery life on these earbuds is rated 10hrs plus additional 20hrs with the charging case. Overall these are impressive earbuds for the price tag. You get good sound, outstanding call quality, noise canceling plus a bunch of other features in a minimal design. LG has done well. In the box you get a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, a USB-C to auxiliary cable, and earbud tips.

Over the years I have tested many wireless earbuds. With each new generation, they just continue to get better. This is absolutely the case with the LG Tone Free Fit TF8Q True Wireless Noise Cancelling in Ear Earbuds. Of course, not every earbud fits every ear well, so the LG TF8Q comes with 3 sizes of inner ear buds and 3 sizes of the outer gel wings. Right out of the box, the fit for me was very comfortable. I wore them all day at the gym, with no slipping or irritating my ears on the treadmill or lifting weights. I had no issues. The "Swivel Grip" turning the earbuds into the ear canal fit very nicely and comfortably. The earbud case is sturdy and has a non-slip texture on the outside for easy open or close. The case feels solid and is a little heavier than I had expected, but that is why it is built so well. I also like the two-tone case with black on the outside and lime green on the inside. Another factor that fits into the case is a magnet, that locks in the ear buds in place. Yet, another benefit to this case: UVnano+! Within ten minutes of charging the earbuds, a UV light cleans the "Gel Wings" of 99.9% of bacteria! The earbuds have a rating of IP67 rating to keep them water resistant (not waterproof) and dust resistant as well. Items included with the LG TF8Q are the USB type C charger, a USB type C to a 3.5mm jack and three set each for the inner buds and outer wings. I experienced no issues with charging at all. You get 10 hrs with just the earbuds and an additional 20 hours of charge time in the case for a grand total of 30 hours! I usually charged my Earbuds in the case around 60% (The left earbud and right earbud independently use their battery life separately. So, it's normal if one earbud has used more power than the other). With my smartphone on my desk, I opened up the LG TF8Q earbud's case. Instantly the wireless earbuds synced to my smart phone and with my permission downloaded the LG Tone App. I really like this easy pairing from the earbuds to my smartphone. It was pretty impressive. The LG Tone App is where it's at! Once opened the App allows you to customize the sound with EQ options (and personal customization), taking phone calls, adjusting Ambient Noise Control (ANC) and battery life for each earbud are displayed. Once you are in the App you will have the chance to choose from several preset EQs to customizing two separate EQs. I preferred the Bass option and it had well rounded deep sound. The LG TF8Q uses "Meridian Audio Technology." This special sound technology is put in many Bluetooth speakers to supply an extraordinary listening experience with crisp, detailed highs and warm encompassing bass. There is nothing you have to do or add, this technology is built right into the earbuds. The ANC is really noticeable and transparent. Once both earbuds are in your ears, simply hold press on the outer part of the earbud till you hear a tone. This provides a great way to get the outside noise in your ears or keep things focused on music. Simply press the earbud and you will which one it you are experiencing. How is this accomplished? The LG TF8Q uses three microphones! One in the inner mic (helps with phone calls or ANC) and two outer microphones. The outer microphone helps with voice and realistic sound and the other microphone deals with ANC. BOTH earbuds have to be in your ears for the ANC and phone calls to work (important note). If you need to answer a phone call touch the left earbud. If you need to hang up a phone call touch the right earbud. The number of taps on the top of the earbud (including Left/Right) will determine function of the LG TF8Q. It is actually pretty easy to use and implement. You can find this information in the App (each tap can be customized as well in the App except for phone calls). tap once - Left or Right Play/Stop; tap twice - Left Volume down/Right Volume Up tap three - Left Previous; Right Next Hold - Ambient Noise cancelling/Allowing Ambient Noise Phone call Answer Tap/Hang up Tap Twice You can also use the case and earbuds to connect to a device with the 3.5mm jack cable end. Simply plug in the USB Type C cable into the case and plug in the 3.5mm jack on a TV or tablet. In no time you will hear what is playing on TV. Treadmills at the gym would be a good spot to use this amazing technology. Another rather useful feature on the LG Tone App, is a process called "Multi Point." It allows you to connect up to other to five Bluetooth devices on the LG Tone App. "Multi Pairing" allows two of the five devices to be "actively paired through Bluetooth." In this way, you can easily switch between the "two paired Bluetooth" devices. This is really convenient when you have to change several sources connected to your earbuds by Bluetooth. Don't think the LG TF8Q Wireless Earbuds can't do more, you'd be wrong. It can read your texts! It can also listen to your voice with "go to voice commands." This is a very cool and high-tech combination of features that benefit your everyday use of the LG Tone Fit True Wireless Noise Cancelling In-Ear Earbuds (with App)!

I was very excited to try these LG-TONE Free Fit TF8Q earbuds. Set up was pretty straight forward, especially with the LG-TONE app that walks you step-by-step. The standard tips and wings were slightly too large for my ears, so I switched to the smaller buds and wings. When placing them in the ears, you do have to twist them forward in order to get that nice seal. They don’t feel like it’s going to fall out at all when I’m moving, either walking or running. There was some irritation on my left ear but I don’t think I’m allergic to the silicon used. The sound is where these TF8Q’s shine. The app allows you to control the sound you want: Noise Cancelling, Off and Ambient Sound. Ambient is similar to the Transparency mode for other brands. Noise Cancelling is not fully Active Noise Cancelling, and I am still able to hear the environment around me. Furthering the control are two sub settings: Listening and Conversation modes. Depending if you want to listen to music while walking or want to distinguish and hear what people are saying, TheEqualizer settings by LGxMeridian allows further enhancements to what you want to listen to: Immersive which offers expanded “peace”, Natural which is more balanced, Bass Boost, Treble Boost and 3D Sound Stage which provides “immersive and surrounding sound when watching movies or sport games”. Switching on and off from these through the app is pretty simple and self-explanatory. So the overall experience has been very great. The Ambient Sound mode does allow great transparency when speaking to people while these are in your ears, and when listening to music or audiobooks can still enjoy hearing them. Again, The Noise Cancelling is also very good and it doesn’t fully block out all of the sound around me. I feel this is the best for me to have when listening to audiobooks so that I can really hear and focus on the spoken words. The touch/taps on the buds allow different settings, that also able to adjust to what you want. Touching once, twice, three times, and touch and hold can offer varying settings: Play/stop, voice command, volume control, previous/next, or off. Touch/Hold though allows for the switching of noise cancelling, ambient sounds. Where I feel the LG-Tone Free Fit TF8Q really shines is the case. Accompanying this is a 3.5mm headphone cord that allows you to listen with the buds WITHOUT having to download the app, known ad the Plug and Wireless fearture. I.e., connecting these to my laptop and I am able to still listen with the buds. This is a great feature, and works well with older tablet devices that still utilize the 3.5 mm jack. Also, when placing the buds back into the case AND charging it, the case begins cleaning the ear buds by reducing the bacteria on the silicone buds and wings. Battery levels are decent, I get about 5-6 hours before needing to recharge. The case has indicator lights that notify you of the battery level left: GREEN (more than 80%), YELLOW (20-80%) and RED (less than 20%). Overall, these are really good earbuds with great features. Very worth it in my opinion.

I’ve had a chance to try out the new LG TONE Free Fits for about a week. I’ve tried to use them wherever possible - at the gym, walking my dog, listening to music, gaming and phone calls. These are true wireless buds that are focused at active/sport users, while have a couple neat perks not found elsewhere. The buds come with 3 rubber tip and Swivelgrip sizes for you to choose from. There is also the included USB-C charging cable, a USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable, and the case. The box and packaging are all recyclable, which is something that is nice to see on new products. Features The TONE Free Fits are an ‘in-ear’ bud with swappable ear tips and Swivelgrips. The Swivelgrip design helps to hold the buds in place while the overall shape makes it easy to hold. These buds carry an IP67 rating which is more than what is typically necessary for an active wear bud. With the IP67 rating you could wear these in the shower or casually swimming – probably not for doing laps though. The interface for each bud is tappable surface that responds to different numbers of taps or presses. The material used on the buds is a soft and smooth plastic that provides a nice amount of grip. The Swivelgrip fins twist into place and basically lock into the cymba (upper part of the concha - I had to look up the names) part of your ear. As the Swivelgrip fin locks into your ear it presses the body of the bud back against the antihelix (outer ridge of your ear), and really provides a solid fit. I have made myself dizzy trying to shake these loose, but to no avail. I had no issue pairing the buds to my phone or to my GF’s phone – you do need to download the LG TONE Free app to customize things. It will connect to whichever phone happens to be closest, and it does it quickly. On Android it shows me the status of each bud and the case – I think the app supports this readout even if you don’t have it running. The buds come with Bluetooth 5.3 among other connectivity standards (BLE, Google Fast Pair, etc.) I didn’t notice a reported range anywhere, but I had no issue maintaining connection across my house from my phone. The buds have a decent battery life – 6 with ANC on or 10 hours with it off. The case doubles the battery life – 12 hours total if using ANC or 20 off. The buds also have a quick charge feature where 5 minutes in the case will provide an hour of play time. Charging the case can be done through the USB C port and takes about 2 hours to fully charge from empty. The case has an indicator light for their battery status – green is 80%+, yellow is 20-80%, and red is below 20%. The case itself is reasonably sized – not super small but small enough to go unnoticed in a pocket. The buds are held into the case magnetically and fit into their respective spots. The case has a light texture and a few ridges that give you some grip for opening the cover. It has a couple of other tricks – a UV light built in to sanitize the earbud tips, which appears to operate while charging the base. Upon opening the lid the UV lights power down, so no risk of looking into the UV. Also, opening the lid of the case starts the pairing process with your phone, so everything is paired up and ready by the time you get a bud into your ear. The case has one last trick, which is to act as a Bluetooth transmitter. The small switch on the side allows you to use the included USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable to plug into a device that doesn’t have Bluetooth but has a headphone port. Examples given for this feature were for use on an airplane, or plugging into gym equipment (stationary bikes, ellipticals, etc). I actually gave it a shot with a Roku remote and my Xbox controller. Both worked perfectly well, and it’s the first time I’ve used a wireless earbud for Xbox since the Xbox 360 days. There are 3 settings for noise cancelling - noise cancelling (ANC), off, and ambient. Ambient has two modes - Conversation and Listening. I used Listening Mode for when I am out walking my dog and it works tremendously. Conversation also worked great for when I am at work and have a co-worker stop by to chat about something. As far as ANC goes I found it a little short of expectations. It works well for white noise/background office noise, but it doesn’t isolate as well as I had hoped. As good as the Ambient mode was, I expected the ANC mode to really shine but its just average. Fit/Comfort These are very comfortable buds to wear around for long periods of time. I found the Swivelgrip fins to be very useful in creating a worry-free fit, so I never really worried about them popping out. I had zero issue with these at the gym even while sweating profusely. They stayed in for circuit activities like ball slams and burpees – never even felt them loosen up. I have a pretty average size ear I guess because I always use the midsize tips for any earbud. My GF has a difficult time due to smaller ear features, and some buds she can’t wear even with the smallest tip. Out of the 6 or 7 earbuds I already have, I think she can use 1 pair. Well now she has another option because these fit her perfectly with the smallest ear tip and the smallest Swivelgrip fin. Honestly that’s a really big bonus for us because she doesn’t like having to wear over-the-ear headphones to have ANC. Controls The controls are simple and customizable within the app. You have the option to set controls based on taps (1, 2, or 3) or pressing and holding. You can also divide your controls up between L and R. Since this utilize a touch interface the buds have sort of a haptic feedback that more of a simulated click noise through the speakers. I’m kind of on the fence with the touch controls because they seem a little slow to respond sometimes, but it could be because I’m not touching the exact right spot. The domed shape of the outer bud surface kind of disguises the center of the bud when you are trying to tap. Either way I’d give the touch controls a 6/10 – I’ve used worse, but I have definitely experienced better execution of a tap interface. I tend to adjust volume and skip songs most often, so I tagged volume to the L/R single tap controls and song skip to the press and hold. These do have the nice feature of auto-pausing your music if you pull a bud out of your ear, which is great to have. Sound Sound out of the buds is honestly great. I really like ANC buds/headphones because they tend to isolate better and provide clearer sound. Sound clarity out of the TONE’s is excellent – that goes for calls and music. These are right around the best sounding buds I own and do a good job with sound reproduction. There are 5 different EQ settings – Bass Boost, Immersive, Natural, Treble Boost, and 3D Sound Stage. Immersive and 3D Sound Stage are supposed to simulate depth and act like simulated surround sound. Bass and Treble Boost are pretty self-explanatory and Natural is supposed to be closer to the source file settings. You also have a couple of custom EQ’s you can set. My gripe with the custom setting is you can’t take the Bass Boost setting and tweak its levels slightly to your liking. Instead you start with a flat EQ and have to adjust every frequency interval, which can be difficult for those not familiar with an EQ curve. I typically trend towards bass heavier settings, so I started with the Bass Boost. I found it lacking in some of the higher ranges, so I made a custom Bass+Treble EQ to find my balance, which I liked and have favored going forward. For calls I toggled to Treble Boost which helps brighten up speech and made it easier for me to hear clearly. However, I think the way to get the best sound out of these is to go with a custom EQ – the built in ones are just OK, but leave a little to be desired. That being said with a custom EQ these sound terrific, and are really good for music, podcasts, etc. Comparisons I have used a lot of earbuds over the years and all have had different functions. I try to tuck a pair in my car, my jacket, my work bag, my gym bag, my desk in my lab, and my desk at home. I have couple of different sport earbuds that hook around my ears like my JLab Epic Air Sports and Epic Air Gos that work great for the gym, but I wouldn’t want to wear all day so they stay with my gym bag. I also have some buds that are great for office work so they stay at my desk, and another that’s for jobsite hearing protection which go in my tool bag. I also have a pair of Jabra Elite 7 Pro ANC earbuds that really have been my go to earbud in almost every case and I try to keep with me wherever I go. The only place I found fault with them is during circuit workouts where they wanted to pop out of my ears (too much sweat I guess) and try to be crushed by a ball slam. The TONE’s are the only buds that I could say work just about everywhere and without detriment. The Jabra’s have an admittedly much better ANC setup, but I won’t take them to the gym anymore, or while doing things that pose a decent knockout risk. The TONE’s Swivelgrip fins really do make a difference and help set these buds apart. Overall The TONE Free’s make a really good case for themselves as an ANC activewear earbud. The Swivelgrip fin is excellent for keeping the buds in place during even the most intense workouts, and still remain comfortable hours later. The sound quality is excellent and the Ambient hearing mode is fantastic. The ANC mode is just average, which is my only real knock on an otherwise great pair of buds. The case brings several novel features that helps to set the TONE’s apart, and expand their usability.

I have had these for an exteneded time before submitting and altering my review. Now as a base reference I have not found anything that I like more than the Soundcore Liberty 2 earbuds. They are the loudest and most "full" sound that I have found. Also would like to preface by saying I have some hearing damage due to infections while I was a child so "loud" buds are an absolute must for me....and I'm a General Contractor so I am around loud noises all the time and my earbuds must overcome ALL THAT in order to be functional for me. That out of the way I have to say these LG Tone Free Fit Buds have grown on me. They have the volume I need in order to hear and while they do requre you to adjust them back in through the day...I'm not touching my ears every 2 minutes like some I have.... especially if I'm sweating or in the rain. They are VERY comfortable and using them approx 9 hours a day every day for multiple weeks while testing them, I NEVER had a sore ear or wanted to stop using them. I LOVE that they are dust and water resistant (IP67)! Given my daily environment that is piece of mind....and these have been through some dusty concrete work, sheetrock dust, pressure washing and rain days and are still working perfectly. I would like to say that you have to make sure that they are dry and so is your ear before placing them in or they will constantly feel like they are at the brink of falling out or actually will fall out. In additon, while they are touch pad operated they will play/pause on you while adjusting them in you ear or wiping sweat from your head and face using your t-shirt sleeve. This is pretty much the case with all touch earbuds without a physical button though. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the ANC on these. I have used it to block out the noise of running small engines, equipment engines, background and wind noise etc and it works pretty good compared to others. What I mean is that it does what it says and doesnt completely kill the battery in just a couple to a few hours. It does use more battery but you can run them for a couple hours with ANC on and then use the "pass through" mode to hear your environment around you and have conversations and you're not chasing down your charger just cause you used the features they come with. I have Liberty 3 buds that have both these modes and run time is severly reduced when using those modes making them absolutely useless. I run a business and I need buds in my ear while working all day and not to be chasing a charger or having them in the case....that kind of mentality defeats the purpose of having them...for me anyway. The app is easy to use and allows you to adjust your touch controls to be basically whatever you want on either ear. It also allows the change of the EQ to some presets (that actually sound really good) and also allows you to build custom EQ profiles so you can set it exactly how you want it. I do wish some of the features in the presets where available to use in the custom profiles though. Like bass boost, etc. AND your own EQ settings together. Nevertheless they sound great with the provided setups and with custom tuning. They were easy to pair with multiple devices with no issues connecting or staying connected. They have pretty good range. When I first got them my phone stayed in the truck on the charger while I worked building a deck and fixing siding and gutters for a week and I had to walk really far away for them to start to break up. They have a feature that kills bacteria on the ear gels if you put them in the case and the case is plugged into a charger. They will turn on a UV light inside for 10 minutes and kill the nasties on your eargels. Thats pretty unique and a nice feature to have. Now if you go to the gym, go on planes or other venues that have a shared audio jack...you can plug the case into the jack of the plane etc and you have wireless buds to listen and move around. THAT is really cool if you use that type of expierence with public audio. Furthermore you could do this with devices you already own too...all you need is an old school headphone jack and these will connect to it. I got almost 9 hours of playback of audio, the entire time listening to podcasts while working. I get approx 7ish hours if using ANC and pass through modes for a couple hours here and there through the day. That is excellent performance in my opnion. I have about 12 or 14 sets of buds and none that have ANC last like this. All in all, they sound great, they don't move around and fall out as much as other, they are comfortable to extended use, water/dustproof, have GREAT RUN TIME, are customizable and have some unique features like public audio connectivity and UV gearm killing. I have put them through some rough use and condtions and they are still operating perfectly so I would wholeheartely recommed these to anyone looking for a great sound and awesome battery life but stll needs ANC and passthrough modes intermitantly through the day...or even just for a workout session the entire time. I like them a lot. They permanently ride in the truck with me and they go in my ears when I get in the truck in the morning and they dont come out until they die late late afternoon. I have another set that I pop in to drive home and run errands at the end of a long long day everyday. I start at 6 am and I dont get home until 9pm most days. Yes, these are great! Buy them! LG, the packaging is lame and the grammatical language barrier errors in the manual are not what should be expected for buds in this price range from a company as big as LG.

What’s in the box: Earbuds • Case that charges the earbuds, has UV sanitizer built in, and can be used as a Bluetooth transmitter. • USB-A to USB-C charging cable • USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable (used when case is acting as Bluetooth transmitter.) • 3 sets soft earbud tips, 1 set each small, medium, large • 3 sets of ear hooks (wings), 1 set each small, medium, large Cons: • The case is not chargeable wirelessly. It must be charged with a USB-C cable. • Some issues maintaining a connection. Pros: • They sound really good. Not as good as my $300 set of earbuds, but for the price point they sound very good. • These have Multipoint!! • The case serves as a Bluetooth transmitter when connected to 3.5mm audio port of a device that does not have Bluetooth. This is a great feature and one I have not found in other earbuds. • They have ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) • Comfortable and very secure fit. The ear hooks work better than most I’ve tried. • Can use either the left or the right earbud while the other is in the case. • UV sanitizing built into the case I didn’t really have any way to verify that the UV light functions or that it sanitizes the earbuds. But if it actually works, that is a very cool feature. There are also blue “mood” lights inside the case that glow briefly when the case is opened. These blue lights are not the UV sanitizers. They don’t seem to have a function other than they look cool. The earbuds pair and connect just fine without the LG Tone Free app, but Multipoint is not enabled by default. The only way I found to enable Multipoint is with the app. Plus, once Multipoint was enabled, I could not pair the second device without the app. I highly recommend downloading the 31 page manual from the LG support website or accessing from within the LG TONE Free app. To take full advantage of the features, at least look at the manual. I was truly blown away by these at first. They include so many features that are lacking in even the most expensive earbuds. Yet these are moderately priced. But after a few days I began having problems with them disconnecting occasionally when they were in Multipoint mode. I gave them a full charge and tried using them with two different devices. But I still had the problem sporadically. They remain paired, but I have to manually reconnect them. Which is simple but still annoying. I REALLY wanted these to be spectacular. Even with the occasional disconnect issue, I still use them. So, it’s not a deal killer. But until I figure out how to fix it, I’m deducting one star.

Finally, a set of workout ear buds that do everything I need and more! I was previously using an older set of wired, exercise earphones which connected with a wire and could clip to my shirt, to prevent the wire bouncing around. While music sounded good on them, they were not noise cancelling so most of my footfall on a treadmill or other turning was part of the soundtrack too. Additionally, they would sometimes work their way out of my ear and I found myself routinely pushing them back in or adjusting while I ran or exercised. The LG TON -TF8Q throws down the gauntlet, as soon as you get it unpacked. In a neat little charging case that holds enough charge to recharge the buds on its own a couple of times, it can also kill most bacteria that might gather on the earbuds after use – more on that later. The ear buds come with extra ear gels and ear hooks of various sizes, but I was lucky and found that the default gels and hooks fit just fine and I have yet to have an ear bud fall out. They also ship with two cables – a USB Type-C charging cable for the case and a USB-C to Aux cable, to connect the charging case to an aircraft stereo or treadmill with the appropriate connection. Connection to my iPhone was simple via Bluetooth and I was rocking music from various iPhone sources within seconds of unpacking them. You can touch the earbuds themselves to control some basic functions, such as play/pause (one touch) or next track (three touches). Depending on the context, these gestures will do other things too like answer phone calls or mute/unmute so they are quite useful. Volume control would have been nice but I can still do that off the source device so not really a problem. LG has an app called “LG TONEFree which is useful for managing the earbuds. It will detect the earbuds and show things like battery left as a percentage, as well as let you set the equalizer settings. There are five presets (Immersive, Natural, Bass Boost, Treble Boost and 3D Sound Stage), with Bass Boost being my favorite and then you can set up two custom settings of your own to pick from as well. You can also manage the ambient sound or active noise cancelling levels in the app. I tend to just keep noise cancelling on, but it is possible to turn that off (saves some battery) or go to ambient sound which would be safer if you run on the road or ride a bike with these on. The multi-point and multi-pairing feature in the app is useful if have multiple devices you will use these with. Two devices can be connected to the earbuds at the same time and the app will remember and show you the five most recently connected devices. You can then quickly switch between them from the app, rather than mess about unpairing/repairing and the other troubleshooting you end up doing when the wrong device is auto selected. Software updates for the earbuds are also handled in the app but I have yet to see an update since receiving these. They shipped with 1.10.1 which is so far current. Another notable, useful app feature is the ability to locate your earbuds by having them emit a loud chirping sound, triggered from the app. It even lets you pick if you lost the left or right and then just chirp that one. The playback quality on the earbuds is great and I really enjoy rocking out with them on, usually while running but sometimes while just doing chores around the house or yardwork. They are dust, sweat and water resistant so are great for these kinds of activities. While the active noise cancelling does not match up to my over-ear (and twice as expensive) headphones, it is really very good for earbuds and noticeably cuts down on outside noise. It was surprising how often my wife needed to wave to get my attention and then let me know that yelling at me was not working! At the same time, with the great equalization, I find the original sound is not too distorted and still matches what I expect for playback. So long as the charging case is connected to power, when you put the earbuds back in for safekeeping and charging, the UVnano feature will disinfect them by bombarding them with ultraviolet light, killing most bacteria that may have gathered there while in your ears. It’s not a feature I would have sought out but it does no harm and makes me feel better about not getting an ear infection. All in all, this is a feature-packed set of workout earbuds and definitely worth the investment for all that you get with them.

Very easy to use and simple to setup. The app and Bluetooth connected easily. The LG Tone App is very intuitive and lets you set all kinds of things like noise canceling, eq with multiple pre-built eq choices, and multiple BT connections for easy switching between phone, tablet, etc. Ear buds are comfortable for my ears and the default size buds they shipped with by default were the right size for me. (I have average size male ears). There are additional sizes to accommodate larger/smaller ears. Once they are in - they stay put. I found them a tiny bit awkward to grab to remove since they sit so well in your ear and don’t protrude much, but I’m sure I’ll get used to popping them out. Tested out the noise canceling on both a flight and an office environment they worked just as well as my over the ear high end noise canceling head set. I wore them for 3+ hours straight and they were comfortable. Watched a movie and the sounds and voices were very clear. I tried all kinds of different music types from jazz, hip hop, rock, dance, reggae, etc. and they all sound great. Calls were good and people did not realize I was wearing Bluetooth ear buds. I really like that you hear your phone call audio in both ears (I have an older headset that’s just the right ear bud and I prefer these.) The case charges them when not in use and the case is nice and small and easily fits in a pocket. Overall very pleased with these and I’m now traveling with these vs. my bulky over the ear head set.

I compared these earbuds against the other name brands, which cost a little less as the LG was on sale at time of this review. The LG buds cost a little more but they bring lot to the table: great sound, active noise cancellation, better dust and water resistance, customizable controls, UV light cleaning, and the ability to connect the case to the 3.5mm jack on any device to stream audio to the earbuds. That last option is surprisingly useful when connecting to exercise equipment or something that doesn't support bluetooth (such as airline seat displays). Despite all that, I have two gripes about these earbuds. The first is there's no off button. (This is unfortunately common with earbuds.) You're expected to be wearing them, or put them into the case to recharge. I sometimes only wear them for a short time and instead of topping them off again I'd like to just put them on table. However, they stay active and slowly drain the battery. They do better than the other brand buds (which last about a day sitting on a table, these did 2+ days), but a long tap to turn on/off would be a nice feature. I want to avoid constant recharging to maximize the usable battery life. The second gripe is the lousy fit, at least for me. They're supposed to go into the ear and rotate into place, snugly sliding into the inner lobe of the ear. I included two pictures from the manual which shows them inserted, and rotated into place. I'm not sure if I just have odd ears, but none of the 3 sizes of fins included will fit my ear. My ear doesn't have a well defined inner lobe for the buds to slot into. As a result I swapped the fins between the left and right buds so they point backwards (bigger side towards back of head). I can then rotate these the other way to fit the back of my ear, similar to how the other name brand fit. It's not great, but it's not uncomfortable. The looser fit is worth it for the other great features these earbuds offer. If they fit your ear, these are 5 stars.

This is a solid pair of noise cancelling earbuds. They are waterproof and can easily be washed out and on the immersive setting, they offer great sound. The wingtips do provide stability and do not fall out after intense exercise. but they is a noticeable gap between the bottom of your ear and the earbud. In contrast, AirPods and airpod pro have a tight seal in this area, so going from them to this, I always feel like the lg buds aren’t secure enough even though they are. pass through audio could be a little better. I think this needs to be fixed with an update to make it better. In fact I don’t like how finicky and low quality the app was. Lg if u are reading this, pls tell your devs to make major updates to the app. It has a 2 star rating on the App Store, that should be enough to tell your developers how poor it is. There are quite a few bugs. Also find my needs to be updated to report location of the case and it needs to be improved a lot. I think these are one of the best exercise earbuds with wing tips on the market currently. But a lot of work needs to be done by lg devs to fix the app

They work pretty well. Good sound quality and noise cancellation. My only dislike is they don’t have the ability to turn on when the case has lost its charge.

These are definitely sleepers, need better advertising for consumer awareness. Everything is good, nothing great. Except the fit. These are the most secure buds I've ever owned without an ear hook. Fast reliable connection, with multi point, while being waterproof. I use them in the shower daily.

I own three different LG audio products. Unfortunately, this pair has been returned LG for repair twice. Once the product is fixed, I'd give it 5 stars. Great sound and the buds stay in the ears as advertised.

Perfect. With me wherever I go. Once didn't have one in quite securely and it fell into soapy water. Right back in ear and worked perfectly. Sound quality is unreal.

Really good sound quality for being so small. The build quality also feels really nice and high quality. My only complaint would be they could make the battery life slightly longer. Using the app to tune the equalizer profile is also really an awesome feature. I would say these are on par or better than beats in terms of sound. One really neat feature is that it seems to support higher fidelity Bluetooth codecs that my Motorola phone can do for spacial audio. If you're on the fence about buying you won't be disappointed.

Best Earbuds for listening to music while working out. Fit great and don't even notice they are while providing excellent sound

These LG - TONE Free Fit TF8Q True Wireless Noise Cancelling In-Ear Earbuds are amazing…love the way they fit my small ears lol. Great for the gym like I wanted them to be. Will recommend.
