LG HBS-FN5W TONE Free Wireless In-Ear Stereo Earbuds with Wireless Charging, White

2023-05-27T20:00:00

So i just bought it 6 mnths ago and even after this tym i would say there is no better product in the market with these technology like tone, the sound quality is amazing. The matt finish of the case gives it a amazing feel holding it. As a traveller i be around a lot of people i was really impressed by the uvnano tech made basically to make ur buds corona virus repelent and thats is inovative. The battery backup is something i literally love because i forget to charge it for days cz it has amzing backup. Its a must buy and way affordable than the other brands.

Got these as a gift about a year ago and now the case is not charging the earbuds. I even had them plugged in over night and then left earbud is only at 9%. I notice now that the light does not stay on when I have both on the case to charge. It turns off about 5 seconds after I closed the case. Does anyone know why this happens

I have been using my earbuds for about 2 months. The sound quality is very good. What lowers the score I am giving them is the battery life, about 5 hours at best. If it could be improved to last at least 7 hours, I would rate them higher.

Gave this as a gift at christmas and now trying to get repaired LG is only calling you to let you know if you can get a RMA. Customer service has been very lacking. Until they fell apart they were well liked great sound and features. But now now worth the money.

Solid earbuds, not perfect but good, nice and balanced sound, average battery life, excellent rapid charging case, quite comfortable, indoors they´re very nice, but once you step outside they go down quite noticeable, annoying wind noise, even with 2-5 mph wind you can hear it. Ambient sound difficult to regulate and artificial sounding, LG tone app needs an update, eq. settings are almost the same, app keeps open even when you disconnect the earbuds, you need to manually stop it. Comfortable and they stay in place, good looking and excellent quality. Meridian equalizer settings are almost the same between them. Getting used to the small details that I personally didn't like about them, but on the plus side they´re very comfortable and also the last version of the tone app is very much improved, I like LG products, solid and well built. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

So these earbuds came at a perfect time! I have worn them every time I head out for my walk. Love the look and convenient case to hold and charge them. So my only downfalls that I haven't liked are that when I sweat from a work out they fall right out of my ears really quick. I even put the smaller ear pieces on. Also the charge lasts but not a full day. Otherwise these are really good and I love using them.

I absolutely love these things. Right out of the box and as soon as I pulled the first earbud out it wanted to connect to my Android phone. Such an easy process to connect via Bluetooth. The sound quality is top notch, everything is crystal clear and the highs and lows are amazing. I have used them at work and at home mowing the lawn and with the noise cancellation I literally can't hear the mower with these playing my favorite music. The app you download is very user friendly. There are preset equalizer settings or 2 custom setup options available. The app also gives you other information such as how much the battery on the buds are charged. The charging case is super nice. Matte black finish that can not only charge the buds 2 more times but it's a fast charger as well. With 5 minutes of charging you can use the buds for up to 60 minutes. The case is also wireless charger capable. So nice to just set them on a wireless charging pad and walk away. The earbuds are great to make phone calls on. Microphones on both buds. These things are my new Go to Buds!!!

I was afforded the opportunity to try The LG tone free HBS FN5W Earbuds. I like the fast charging this is definitely a plus for me. The sound is very clear. Also a major plus for me is that the buds fits my ears withiut falling out or pain while wearing them like some buds do! These buds are so awesome its like being a sound both filled with music!

Upon opening, these were super simple to connect to my iPhone, I had no issues. The quality of sound is awesome and I love the ability to also hear what is going on around me while they are in my ear using the ambient sound mode. The charging case is compact and quite functional and as soon as you place the earbuds in it grabs hold to them. The app is nice to have and allows you to see the battery percentage, check for software updates and also includes a feature to find your headphones. However, I must connect to the headphones through the app in order to find my headphones, but if they are dead this is impossible. Unfortunately, none of the included ear gels fit properly in my ears so they fall out occasionally. Overall, I am quite impressed with the set!

They come in a very durable case. Set up was a breeze as the instantly paired up with my phone. They are very comfortable in my ears and the sound quality is impeccable. These earbuds also fit very comfortable in my ears. I love that if only 1 earbud is removed the music also stops so you can hold a conversation without having to remove both earbuds. Charging is also a snap. Just put them in their case and plug them in.

these earbuds not only have a heightened sound quality but the comfort level is above average as well . I was really amazed by this product. I could hear my favorite music clear and soundly . my previous earbuds sometimes the sound was muffled and I couldn't enjoy the experience. I could hear background noise. these earbuds really let me escape into my own world when I am exercising or just need to relax

This is my first really nice pair of ear buds that I have owned, I got tired of cheap ones that stop charging after a month or have horrible sound quality. One of my favorite features of the LG Tone Free Wireless Earbuds is how crisp and clear the sound is, especially the bass. The ambient sound is a nice feature that I am still getting used to. It picks up my supervisors on the handheld radio at work when I normally could not hear him with other earphones. The music plays with deep, crisp bass and sounds great. I like that when I work an 11-hour shift, I can either use both and the charge lasts about 2/3 of my shift. If I just use one, I can switch it out when I need to charge it and not have to worry about it. I have tried many different earbuds, but the clarity of the phone calls on this is excellent and way better than any other ones I have used. I don’t have to ask the person on the call to repeat themselves or talk over a background noise. The charging case is convenient and small enough to fit in my pocket comfortably. They feel comfy in my ear and don’t get annoying after a few hours of wearing them. They are IPX4 rated which means they are sweat and water resistant, this is a major bonus. I am really impressed with these earbuds!

I tested these headphones using both an android and iPhone. After using these for several weeks now, these headphones have pro’s and cons. The cons are usually glitches and problems with the headphones, not something that was not supposed happen. It has everything wireless headphones should have and more. The audio quality is pretty good compared to most headphones, it doesn’t feel like it’s mumbled sound. The fast charging is very useful in most situations. Ambient sound is useful but not on most occasions but sometimes it might start in the middle of listening to something without you touching the headphones. The app is helpful if you want to adjust the sound and optimize different sound qualities like bass, treble, and you can adjust the setting yourself for the sound and the tapping mechanism. When trying to find my earbuds, they must be out of the case. If you lose them in the case, it will just ask you to connect. You must “lose them” out of the case and be connected to them for you to use the feature to find them. When doing so, you can play a sound from each of the earbuds independently. Also, if I’m not buy the earbuds, like for example at work, it shows the location of the earbuds as my current location even thought they are not with me. Water proof capabilities hasn't been tested to the max. I've worn them while working out with some sweat, but it hasn't rained here in a while. They seem to have worked well during the workout. But there are some cons like the audio blanking out in a video and calls (mostly calls, it happens multiple times and is pretty annoying. Also the headphones are comfortable depending on how you put them in your ears.

So I bought these LG earphones to try something new from my headphones I currently use. They came in a nicely packaged box kinda like a watch or jewelry box. Inside the box was a very nice case that not only holds the ear buds but also is where you store and charge the ear buds. It opens like a clam shell and snaps shut tightly. It has a nice smooth rubbery feel to the case. The earbuds only fit into the case one way to recharge and once placed into the case that's plugged in they instantly start charging. Once the earbuds are charged and you choose which rubber ear inserts are the right size for you you are ready to pair. My phone instantly found the earbuds and asked if I wanted to pair. Once paired I put one of the earbuds into my ear and that's when the power instantly turns on. And the same when you take them out they turn off. I like the fact that I can use just one at a time or both together. When I made my first phone call the sound was great and I could definitely hear very well. I walked away from the phone to see how far I could go before disconnecting and the distance was at least 60 feet or maybe a bit more. To answer the phone all you have to do is tap on one or the other earbuds and instant connection. My second test was trying out listening to music from my satellite radio app. Let's just say I was a little bit disappointed. The sound was great but not the quality I was expecting. The sound it ok but could use a better sound or quality speakers. My other set I have by another brand has alot better sound for music. These LG earbuds could use some kind of adjustment when it comes to that. These need more bass and a higher quality of sound to be available it the earbuds. One thing I really like tho is the ability to pause the music by tapping either the left or right earbud. If you take out one of the earbuds it will also pause the music. So pretty much if you are using these for phone calls they are great! Not too bad on comfort but music quality could be better

Upon receiving the LG TONE Free HBS-FN5W Earbudsi was skeptical in the beginning. But once I received my package in the mail and used them; I have fallen in love immediately. One of my personal best features is, I've always encountered a problem finding earbuds that fit perfectly in my ears. It seems like they never never wanted to stay put, which kept me from actually using earbuds. Until now that's always been an issue, LG has invented the perfect earbuds that will stay put comfortably with great sound and also included a cute compact Charging Case that charges your earbuds while on the go, and takes nearly no time at all . The clarity of the sound is amazing. You have the ability to turn down all of the excess noise around you or set it where you can hear yourself speak. Once you've downloaded the LG TONE app on your phone, tablet, or computer you're able to configure the ear buds to your specific unique ears . ,My personal favorite setting is the "find my earbuds" because with two kids I'd have a tendency to lose any and everything. So say I've sat them down and one fell into the back seat of my car, all I have to do is go to my phone on the lg app and click the option find my ear buds" it will ask if I need to find the left or right or both. Once you let it know the MIA earbud will l start making a noise louder and louder, until I find it and put it back in the case! And problem solved! Overall I'm very satisfied and have recommended this product to several people already. The reactions where all positive, many curious to listen to them themselves. And where they could be purchased at. Thank you LG for a extremely awesome new experience, that I've searched for going on years now!!

Bought this to replace my LG Tone. Absolutely no outside noise. Unless I have the ambient sound on. Which is a very nice feature as well.

this is my first set of true wireless headphones, i purchased them when they were released after reading a few reviews and watching a few videos. i have been happy with the fit as most headphones typically do not sit well in my ears, the sound quality while listening to music and as well on phone calls has been great. the battery life is right on par with my use as well. overall i am enjoying these headphones!

I bought a pair of the HPS-FN5W after having trouble with a pair of BOSE wireless not syncing correctly and dropping calls. I have yet to have that issue with the FN5W. Fit is nice and they weigh nothing in your ears. The pass through audio is a little tinny sounding but absolutely usable. Great Product LG you have a winner in my book!

So these are my very first ear buds I've ever owned. I've always been skeptical about trying a pair, but figured now would be the perfect time to catch with modern civilization. As soon as they got to my house, I was nervous about how often they will fall out of my ears, but as soon as I put them on, not once have they ever fallen out, even running around and jumping, it stayed in my ears! Now lets get technical. First, the case itself is a charger so when you have your ear buds inside the case, they're charging while you're on the go. The case itself comes with a Type C charger which is convenient because everything is converting to Type C outlets. Once ear buds are connected to your phone, I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+, it automatically recommended me to download the Tone Free app, which I indeed did. It's an app that has a build in manual, equalizer settings, touchpad settings, and many more features that I soon discovered. For the quality of sound, it provides a brilliant level of treble and bass clarity for the music and videos I watch on my phone, and through the Tone Free app, you can change between sound options like Immersive, Bass Boost, Natural, and Treble Boost. However, if you want to take the sound experience to your hands, you can easily create your own custom sounds. There is also a setting called Ambient, which allows you to hear the outer world while listening to music, so you won't miss anything that should be catching you're attention. I spoke on the phone with the ear buds and my wife could hear me perfectly through them, no background noise too intense that would take away from our conversation. Nothing more to speak on the ear buds other than that its something I can't leave the house without now, it's become apart of my daily lifestyle! “I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review”.

I’ve really been enjoying putting my new LG TONE Free HBS-FN5W earbuds to the test!! Have watched movies, talked on the phone and enjoyed my digital music to its fullest! That’s why I’ve gotten rid of my corded earbuds and don’t think I ever want to go back. First off, these earbuds are so easy, they’re ready to go right out of the box and asking to connect to my phone. Even though a lot of amazing technology is inside them, these earbuds could be used by anyone. The included instructions are clear and help answer any questions. There’s also an app that provides more personalization. I particularly liked the Bass Boost along with the equalizer customization options. Another feature I love on the LG HBS-FN5W is when you’re listening to music it senses if you’ve taken an earbud out and pauses the music and when you put it back in your ear, the music starts again! Can your corded earbuds do that??!! So far the only con I’ve discovered is that this model does not include the UV nano charging technology. In my opinion this feature should be standard in all models as consumers are very interested in getting rid of bacteria. The icing on the cake is how comfortable these earbuds are. I’ve used them for long phone calls and also to watch 2 hour movies and forget they are even in! Once placed, there really is no need to adjust them and they never felt like they were slipping. These LG earbuds are an all around great product and I’d gladly recommend them to friends and family.

The design of these earbuds and the case is as good as any other out there. Wireless charging works great but make sure that you have the case placed correctly on your charger. The size of the case is really nice and not bulky, but if you don't set it correctly on the upright chargers built for phones, the small size is a disadvantage. The magnet that holds the earbuds in the case is nice and strong so they snap right in. Charging time for both the earbuds and the case is super fast. I haven't even really had a chance to drain all of the batteries because the battery life is great and they charge so fast, it seems like it would be difficult to completely end up with zero battery. I haven't heard any complaints about call quality and it seems like the dual microphones work as they are designed. One problem I haven't had with these, that I have with others, is the earbuds being slightly out of sync, so there is an echo effect. These seem to stay in good sync for calls as well as playing music. The sound quality for music, by the way, is quite good. Here's the downside: The Tone Free app is decent as far as pairing and setup, but the audio adjustments really don't make a meaningful difference. The biggest detractor is the ambient sound mode and it really needs to be fixed. With any level of ambient "ON" there is a really terrible tin can effect and LG is way behind competitors. In my experience, ambient sound should include the things that you want and need to hear, but the audible noise is like having constant static in your ears. The other poor design are the touch buttons on the earbuds. They are incredibly easy to hit accidentally with the buttons turned on. Turned off, there is no functionality, so it's lose-lose. Overall, these are good for the money and will work for everything from the office, to the gym. If you don't need the highest quality ambient mode, they are a good buy.

I love these earbuds, love the light and comfortable ergonomic design. When running errands or doing running on the treadmill, these earbuds stay put and stay comfortable all day long. I really like the convenience of wireless charging so I can quickly charge my earbuds without even plugging them in! I also love the light and comfortable ergonomic design as they look sharp when wearing them. The sound quality is also great and with the LG Tone App you can customize sound settings if you would like. You can adjust how many taps you want to do what with and with what ear as well. I also like how you can change it to as where you can have ergonomic sound heard in background or not have it if you would like. I would definitely recommend these to others and will wear these all the time!

I have been using Bluetooth earphones or headphones since bluetooth technology was released. The LG Tone HBS-FN5W are in my top 5 of earphones. They easily connected to both my iphone X and iphone 7. There has been no issues in keeping the connection. Other items that I am impressed with: 1. They fit snuggly in my ears (I usually have an issue. 2. The wireless charging case is well built and easy to use 3. The sound quality is good for phone calls 4. They keep their charge for a long period of time The only con I have is when I receive a call and insert the earphone in my ear, I sometimes hang up on the call.

I enjoyed listening to all types of music on these LG Tone earbuds. They sounded so nice I need to listen to music with more cowbell! When your earbuds arrive they come in a nice package. It is compact and easy to carry. I love the fact that I can wireless charge these in the case. I have multiple charging pads for my phone so it was super convenient to just be able to place these on them to charge. Now that my earbuds were charged it was time to give them a listen. They connected easily over Bluetooth. This might depend on your phone but it was quick and easy. They fit in your ear comfortably. It adjusts for different ear types and seems to find a good spot to be placed. I listen to all types of music and I was impressed. All music seemed to sound clear and the volume was louder than I thought it would be. I feel like these gave thought to equal parts of the music and didn't really focus on mostly bass like some earbuds. Very well rounded. I will tell you my favorite thing about these, they stay connected during workouts! I had other earbuds that would lose the Bluetooth connection if you were doing certain activities that just put your phone a little farther away. These stayed connected and I was able to concentrate on my workout instead of worrying about my music cutting out. I highly recommend you give these a try!

Got this from the Insiders at a discounted price, great expectations, but I´m sorry to say that for the price point you can get better sounding headphones, wind noise with ambient sound is unbearable, meridian settings very similar you really can´t tell between them, on the good side, they´re very comfortable, case small and good battery life on both the headphones and charging case, tone app keeps on even after headphones turned off, there is room for improvement.

I've been using my FN5 (Black HBS-FN5W.ACUSBKI LG TONE Free Wireless Ear Buds for over a week now and I am very happy with the sound quality, battery life and connectivity. I mostly use the ear buds to take calls and they sound loud and clear thanks to the noise reduction technollogy and the good seal they have. Also, people on the other side haven't had any issues hearing me so I have no complains with the microphone either. Now in the summer I also like using these earbuds by the pool so I don't have to worry about water splashes because the earbuds are splash proof/water resistant. I also want to mention that they pair with my iPhone without a problem every single time, they have a dedicated app where you can adjust a bunch of settings (I highly recommend to download it so you can also update your ear buds to the last firmware) Last by not least, the wireless charging case at this price point is very much appreciated, small, cute and the ear buds attach magnetically to the case. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review

I spend 40 to 50% of my workday on conference calls and the remainder of that time I am listening to music or podcasts in the background as I cruise on my computer. I tell you that so you can understand the paces I put this headset through. Beyond my typical workday I am busy with projects in and around my house and put this headset through my torture test while working out. The buds themselves are well crafted and light, i often forgot they were in my ears as I plugged away at whatever task was at hand. The sound quality is on par with other headsets of equal or slightly greater cost. The only negative I could find after putting these through their paces was the controls on the buds were not always easy to use and the ambient sound feature would not turn off until I downloaded the app that LG provides in the app store. For those reasons I downgraded to 4 stars instead of 5. But overall this is a good option at the suggested MSRP among its competitors and beats out most in comfort and design.
