LG ToneFree FP9 launches in India and it takes on the Apple AirPods with ultraviolet rays! No kidding, the earbuds rely on UV lighting for one aspect of your hearing experience that no other TWS earbuds does — sanitise your earbuds to prevent bacteria build-up. LG had launched a more expensive version last year and this year, it brings in more upgrades and features at a price that is much lower. The earbuds are available in charcoal Black and Pearl White colours.
The LG ToneFree FP9 costs Rs. 13,990 in India and directly competes with the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, Apple AirPods Gen 2, and Oppo Enco X. The highlight of the earbuds is its UV sanitising feature, which activates when yo put it in the case. LG says a 5-minute exposure of the earbuds to the UV rays in the charging cradle will kill 99.9 percent of the bacteria, which commonly include the Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia bacteria.
As usual, LG has partnered with Meridian Audio for the audio tuning on the ToneFree FP9. “Meridian brings Headphone Spatial Processing to TONE Free earbuds which deliver more natural sound to the users,” says LG. Users can tune the audio output to their liking — the Flex Action Bass promise a powerful low-end audio while the 3D Sound Stage mode promises more immersive experiences while listening to music. All these can be customised with LG Tone Free app on Android and iOS devices.
