LG'S NEW TONE FREE® EARBUDS DELIVER ENHANCED AUDIO QUALITY, FEATURES FIT FOR ON-THE-GO LIFESTYLES

Led by Flagship Model, New Lineup Offers the Ultimate Sound Experience with Combination of Superb Audio Quality, Adaptive ANC and Performance Fit

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Aug. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA announced today the 2022 lineup of TONE Free® true wireless earbuds. The new models provide the ultimate sound experience with advanced audio technologies, a better-fitting design, and a host of useful, new features. The new TONE Free earbuds are the perfect everyday companions for today's on-the-go lifestyles and demonstrate LG's ongoing commitment to user-centric innovation.

The flagship model TONE Free T90 earbuds deliver impressive sound thanks to several upgrades, including a new internal structure with larger drivers that helps generate deeper, more satisfying bass. The use of graphene, a premium material that reduces vibration while boosting audio quality, enables the T90s to produce incredibly dynamic, yet balanced and crisp sound. A treat for the ears in more ways than one, LG's TONE Free T90 earbuds provide an immersive rich, clear audio with Meridian Audio as well as a built-in equalizer to deliver impressive bass and treble tones that sound like a live recording.

LG's TONE Free T90 is the world's first Dolby Atmos®¹ wireless earbuds to support Dolby Head Tracking™ across your favorite content and devices.² Dolby Head Tracking recalibrates the sound as users move their heads for a more natural sound experience. Listeners will feel like they are in the center of the scene and experience a whole new level of audio immersion whether they are listening to music, watching movies, enjoying favorite streaming series or playing video games. Dolby Head Tracking together with Dolby Atmos® content further elevates the listening experience, providing incredible detail, depth, and clarity. The T90s are 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.

LG's 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.³ Additionally, the T90s adopt medical-grade, hypoallergenic ear gels to provide a comfortable fit and help prevent irritation,.⁴ Outstanding user convenience is another key benefit of 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 that is ideal 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 products to enjoy the wireless freedom and first-class sound quality.⁵

Courtesy of Voice Pickup unit, the premium T90s even provide an improved voice calling experience. The Voice Pickup Unit 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 while the case itself can provide a further 18, for up to 27 hours of listening enjoyment.⁶

Finally, 2022 sees the introduction of LG's new TONE Free Fit (TF8). Designed for an active lifestyle, the new model 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 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.

Plus, the new TONE Free Fit (TF8) model delivers solid ANC performance, clear spatial sound with Meridian HSP technology, the benefits of medical-grade, hypoallergenic ear gels⁴ and LG's UVnano charging case. IPX7 rated, the TF8 is resistant to rain and splashes to make it easy to go running or working out without any worries.⁷  

The TONE Free Fit has a battery life of up to 10 hours (or up to total 30 hours with the charging case).⁸ For more enjoyable workouts at the gym, the TF8 earbuds can connect to Bluetooth-less treadmills by using LG's innovative Plug & Wireless solution.⁹

LG's 2022 TONE Free true wireless earbuds will be rolled out in the US starting in September 2022.
