Towards the end of June 2020, LG announced the Tone Free HBS-FN6 TWS earbuds with a sterilizing case in South Korea. However, the pricing and availability details were not shared by the company. The Korean giant has now released pre-order and pricing details for the product in its home market of South Korea.
The TONE Free HBS-FN6 wireless earphone will be open to pre-order from 10th to 16th July while it will go on sale from July 17. As for the pricing, the sleek earbuds bundled with its sterilizing carry case and a concept accessory case will be sold for 199,000 won (~$ 166). The accessory case comes in five colours such as mint, pistachio, lemon, strawberry, and raspberry. It will be available together with a Starbucks keyring to those who pre-order the earbuds.
The LG TONE free HBS-FN6 TWS earbuds are said to come with the “industry-first” UVnano case. The new self-sterilizing earbuds utilise a “canal-type” design which the company says has a more comfortable fit than the “semi-open” earlier model. The earbuds also promise “lifelike audio” quality powered by Meridian, noise isolation functionality, IPX4 water resistance, easy Google Assistant and Siri access, as well as six hours of battery life as standard and up to 18 hours of additional endurance from the case.
The charging case performs dual functions of charging the headphones and also sterilizing the earbuds by eliminating 99.9 percent of E. coli and S. aureus from the hypoallergenic silicone ear gel and inner mesh of the HBS-FN6 buds thus, preventing the risk of ear infections.
