Today, LG has also jumped into the wireless earphones bandwagon in India. The segment is right now one of the fastest-growing and most lucrative accessory markets in India. Everyone from Sony to Xiaomi to Samsung has a series in the sector. And now is the turn of LG, though late with a launch, but a useful one. The company has launched LG TONEFREE FN7 and FN6 in the Indian market with a price of Rs 18,990 and 13,290 respectively. Both models will come in two colour options – Stylish Black and Modern White.
So, what is so different about these audio earphones? The speciality of these earphones is that the case in which they come in has UV protection. So, each time you put them in the charging case, it sterilises them with UV rays killing up to 99.9% of bacteria and germs (in ten minutes). The LG TONEFREE FN7 and FN6 earphones are compatible with both iOS and Android devices. Over that, they are optimised with Meridian’s equaliser for a punchy sound.
“Hygiene has become an important parameter for consumers while taking a decision when buying a new product. We are happy to announce our latest launch of the LG TONEFREE Wireless Earbuds with the unique UV Nano and Meridian Technology, that will provide the perfect solution for audiophiles looking for unmatched hygiene and quality and the very best that audio technology has to offer.” said Hak Hyun Kim- Director- Home Entertainment- LG Electronics India
“At LG, we have always strived to bring to the market the best quality products with the most advanced and innovative technology and will stay committed to our aim of keeping our customers happy by keeping their needs and safety at the heart of our innovation. To amplify our communication we have roped in leading singer & rapper Badshah as brand ambassador for LG TONEFREE, this will certainly help in creating joyful engagement with the youth.” added Mr Sanjiv Soni- Business Head- AV division LG Electronics India.
The earbuds are also IPX4 rated, which means one can take them out in rain or sweat will not damage them. The Battery life of LG TONEFREE FN7 is up to 7 hours of playback in a single charge. With the charging case, it extends to 21 hours. LG TONEFREE FN6 battery life is 18 hours with the charging case and solo it will give you 6 hours of battery life when fully charged. Both the audio earplugs come with 55mAh battery inside them and work on Bluetooth 5.0. The major difference between FN7 and FN6 is of active noise cancellation (ANC). While FN7 comes with ANC, FN6 does not have it.
