The LG Tone Free HBS-FN6 and HBS-FN7 true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds have officially launched in India. These new wireless earphones arrive with a UV sanitization charging case.

The LG Tone TWS earbuds were originally launched in late 2020 for the global market, but have just now arrived in India a few months after. Furthermore, these earbuds also arrive with a significant mark up in pricing, with the HBS-FN6 being priced at 24,990 INR (roughly 341 US Dollars) while the HBS-FN7 is priced at 29,990 INR (roughly 410 US Dollars). Both earbuds feature a UB sanitizing charging case for extra protection, while the more expensive variant features active noise canceling as well.

The LG Tone Free TWS earphones also feature sound tuning, which was made in partnership with the British loudspeaker maker, Meridian Audio. Both earbuds mostly offer the same features like Bluetooth 5, 6mm dynamic drivers, SBC and AAC Bluetooth codecs, IPX4 rating for water resistance, and up to six hours of battery life, with an additional two charges from the case. Notably, the charging case also supports fast charging and wireless charging. The more expensive sibling offers active noise cancellation as well, although, that would also cause an additional drain on the battery.

Both the LG Tone Free HBS-FN6 and HBS-FN7 are among the most premium TWS earphones that are available in India. It is even priced higher than one of the most popular earphones in the world, the Apple AirPods Pro. In the US, these earbuds are available for around 150 US Dollars (roughly 11,000 INR) for the HBS-FN6 and 180 US Dollars (roughly 13,200 INR) for the HBS-FN7. You can buy these from the company’s official LG online store and will also be available through major e-retail websites and offline stores as well, starting from next week.

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.

Since Apple hit gold with its Airpods bearable devices, there have been lots of contenders, each striving for a piece of the pie in the rapidly-growing “hearables” market. Apart from the improvement in the design and battery life, we have seen a few innovations but one that stands out is LG‘s invention.

The Korean giant earlier this year launched the Tone Free true wireless earbuds in the US with a UVnano charging case which sterilises the earbuds. The tech giant has again launched a higher-end model dubbed TONE free HBS-FN6 TWS earbuds which also has “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.

As you may have figured, 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. LG noted that, “several studies have shown that earbuds can harbour more bacteria than a kitchen cutting board”. This can potentially lead to ear infections.”

LG didn’t reveal the retail price of the new earbuds but did say that Tone Free family is scheduled to expand to “key European and American markets starting next month”.
