LG TONE Free HBS-FL7 - True wireless earphones with mic - in-ear - Bluetooth - active noise canceling

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] --My original review was submitted to B&H Photo and duplicated here because I like these headphones a lot.-- These headphones were a pleasant surprise in terms of quality and function. They sound truly amazing. I upgraded from the LG HBS820 to these, and I thought my old headphones sounded good. But these totally blew them away. First, let's talk about initial setup. The headphones were packaged well and included the charging case, charging cable, and 3 different sized earpieces, with the smallest size pre-installed. Immediately upon opening the case for the first time they will enter pairing mode. If you have an android phone with bluetooth on it will detect them and, upon successful pairing, it will link them to your google account and ask if you want to enable google assistant, which I recommend highly. Next, let's cover fit. As mentioned previously, there are 3 size options to choose from. I tried the mediums, but my ears hurt after a bit, which told me they were too big. Although I thought the small size felt too loose, they were actually perfect. As you try them out, think about what you feel is best for all-day comfort. That's the goal with the design of these headphones. Battery life is about what you should expect. I didn't do any true stress test, but they are rated to last 6 hours and I feel that's about right. I've not had any issues with this as I just put them back in the case when I'm done, which tops up the battery as long as your case is charged and turns them off so your phone doesn't hang on to the bluetooth connection. Call quality seems to be pretty good. I've not had any complaints from others and I'm on the phone almost daily with them. Something to note though is that I use either the right or left, but not both, when I'm on a call. I don't really like hearing other people in stereo since I'm not accustomed to it. So just keep one of them in the case if you want to do this which will ensure it doesn't connect to your phone. Friendly tip if you're connecting these to multiple devices: to enter pairing mode again put them in the case and press and hold the button on the left side of the case until the blue led starts blinking (about 5 seconds). In summary, I think these are totally worth the price. Although I usually wait for sales on electronics, and rarely am I a first adopter, I'm glad I took the plunge and purchased these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. The first pair of earbuds I received had the name printed upside down on the right earbud. The right earbud also didn't fit in my ear properly and thus the sound was muffled. I received a new pair a week later. My review will be based on the new (correct) pair I received. The sound is great on the earbuds! I also really think the UV feature is cool, although I can't really confirm whether it's really killing the germs... The earbuds are a little bulky. While they haven't fallen out of my ears yet, I'm always a little cautious that they might because of how big they are. The “buttons” to pause/play/answer/reject are really sensitive to touch. I have accidentally rejected calls trying to answer or have paused music when trying to put my hair behind my ear. The earbuds are pretty pricey. I wouldn't have purchased these on my own as there are other earbuds in the market at a lower price point. Overall, the sound quality is great and is a cool alternative to other earbuds out there. It would be nice if LG also sold cases/clips for the earbud case. It's too bulky to carry in my pocket and could be easily lost without clipping it somewhere.
