LG Electronics announced its 2022 lineup of TONE Free true wireless earbuds. The new models provide improvements on the sound experience, once again tuned by Meridian, combined with advanced audio technologies, a better-fitting design, and a host of useful, new features. The flagship model TONE Free T90 earbuds introduces Dolby Atmos with Dolby Head Tracking support and delivers impressive sound thanks to several upgrades, including a new internal structure with larger graphene drivers.
For its 2022 true wireless lineup, LG presents four models, all featuring active noise cancellation, with the T90 offering real time adaptive ANC and Qi wireless charging, while the T60 shares the same new graphene driver and remaining features. The other two models, the TF7 and TF8 are very similar units in terms of specifications, with the new TONE Free Fit (TF8) model, designed for an active lifestyle. The new TF8 provides a secure and comfortable fit for all of life’s active moments such as running or even vigorous training sessions at the gym.
The flagship model TONE Free T90 earbuds are the world's first with Dolby Atmos binaural rendering and support for Dolby Head Tracking from compatible source content and devices. In the same way as Apple did for the AirPods with Spatial Audio (which also support Dolby Atmos), Dolby Head Tracking recalibrates the sound as users move their heads for a more natural sound experience, allowing to increase the realism of the audio immersion. The T90s are also the first wireless earbuds to feature an audio virtualizer designed by Dolby specifically for earbuds – an advanced solution that expands spatial dimensionality for stereo entertainment.
Like previous models from LG, the new TONE Free models also ship with the UVnano charging case, which uses UV-C light to help refresh the earbuds. It effectively kills 99.9% bacteria on the eargels of the earbuds in just 10 minutes during the powered charging cycle. Additionally, the T90s adopt medical-grade, hypoallergenic ear gels to provide a comfortable fit and help prevent irritation.
User convenience is another key selling point for the LG's TONE Free earbuds, which now boast enhanced connectivity and wider compatibility. With the T90's new Plug & Wireless feature, the charging case doubles as a Bluetooth transmitter, enhanced with a useful, new voice chat function for conference calls and gaming. With the included USB-C to AUX cable, users can also plug the case into a radio, treadmill, in-flight entertainment system, or a wide range of other sound sources to enjoy the same wireless freedom.
Other notable features include an improved voice calling experience in result of the combination of three microphones and Voice Pickup Unit that detects and minimizes ambient noises when the user is speaking; making it easier for whomever is on the other end to hear what they are saying. The TONE Free T90 offers up to 9 hours of use on a single charge (with ANC off) while the case itself can provide a further 18, for up to 27 hours of listening.
Finally, LG's new TF8 features SwivelGrip technology – which helps keep the earbuds firmly and comfortably in place, even during the most intense workouts – and offer a lightweight design that promotes better air circulation. This model also delivers solid ANC performance, clear spatial sound with Meridian HSP technology, plus the benefits of medical-grade, hypoallergenic ear gels and LG's UVnano charging case. IPX7 rated, the TF8 is resistant to rain and splashes.
The TONE Free Fit has a battery life of up to 10 hours (or up to total 30 hours with the charging case). For more enjoyable workouts at the gym, the TF8 earbuds can connect to Bluetooth-less treadmills by using LG's Plug & Wireless solution, which converts the charging case into a Bluetooth transmitter.
All LG's 2022 TONE Free true wireless earbuds will be rolled out in major markets worldwide starting in September 2022.
