LG TONE Free HBS-FN4 True Wireless Headphones
Product Gallery
Product Overview

For long listening sessions, the TONE Free HBS-FN4 uses soft, medical-grade ear pads made from hypoallergenic silicone. The headphones are also IPX4 water resistant. Adding to the 6-hour per charge battery life and fast charging that gives 1 hour of play time in just 5 minutes, the HBS-FN4 are a great, versatile option.
With the HBS-FN4, LG also introduced the HBS-FN6 with UVnano self-sanitizing charging case.

Reviewer score 68%You'll get some decent-sounding lows out of these buds, but don't expect the hairs on the back your neck to raise when blasting EDM or hip-hop songs. Bass Boost raised the low end up a notch, though it wasn't convincing enough for a record that demands heavy bass performance. Call quality on these buds is hit or miss.
