1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,000
sometimes it's almost unfortunate when a brand sponsors a video like LG sponsored

2
00:00:04,279 --> 00:00:14,200
this one because the tonef free fp8 are hands down the most comfortable inear

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,759
wireless earphones that I have heard yet

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:19,439
not only that but they've got a super compact carrying case 24 hours of

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:25,359
battery life with the battery included in the case and they are super small

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:30,279
look how tiny these things are I mean next you're going to tell me they've got

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:32,759
some kind of bacteria killing Li in ins

8
00:00:30,279 --> 00:00:37,600
side that destroys bacteria on the mesh inside the ear they got that

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,559
too well we're going to have to take a closer look at these aren't

10
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:54,280
we LG sent me a fancy package with a few

11
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:57,480
fun things inside we've got the fp5 fp8

12
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,399
and fp9 tonef free earbuds here to check

13
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:05,119
out they've all got active noise cancellation and they share the same

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:07,960
physical design but the fp9 have LG's

15
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:12,000
new plug and Wireless feature which is great for devices that don't have

16
00:01:09,479 --> 00:01:17,400
Bluetooth or that have really janky Bluetooth implementations like uh

17
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,759
certain mobile game consoles that bug out if you try to connect Bluetooth

18
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:26,320
audio and a Bluetooth controller at the same time so all you have to do is plug

19
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:28,040
in a 3 and 1/2 mm to USBC cable and then

20
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,520
you can actually use your case to forward the audio to the earphones super

21
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:37,159
cool right that's actually great for things like plane treadmills like

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,960
there's any number of things that still use a 3 and half mm Jack but you don't

23
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:46,280
necessarily want to carry around two different pairs of headphones with you all the time the fp9 retail at $1.99 so

24
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,799
if you want a cheaper option you can check out the FP FS here you just won't

25
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:55,520
get the plug and wireless or their UV Nano feature we've mentioned that on the

26
00:01:52,920 --> 00:02:00,280
channel before but now the UV light inside the case Works twice as fast

27
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:05,079
killing 99% of the bacteria on each ear mesh within just 5 minutes of charging

28
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:09,399
these ones also lack wireless charging that's available only on the fp8 so

29
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:13,000
Choose Wisely based on which features you care about the most as for which

30
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:19,760
feature I care about the most LG apparently sent a special version of the

31
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:23,680
fp8 these are so cool why are more

32
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,800
Electronics not translucent LG on behalf

33
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:31,120
of everyone watching this video I calling upon you now to sell these it

34
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:35,000
really makes do appreciate all the tech built into them so much better in terms

35
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:40,840
of colors LG's tone free lineup is available in white they're calling this

36
00:02:37,239 --> 00:02:42,879
rose gold that's gold and black they

37
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:47,000
call that rose gold apparently but I don't buy it at this point I've already

38
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,760
hit most of the talking points that LG asked for in the sponsored video so

39
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:56,560
let's focus on what really matters inside you get small medium and large

40
00:02:54,040 --> 00:03:00,519
medical grade ear tips uh the medium ones were the right size for me your

41
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,440
mileage may vary you get a a USBC charging cable charging is handled by

42
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:07,959
these three metal contacts on both sides and you just pop them in little

43
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:11,360
something like that they're magnetic so they should snap into place pretty

44
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:14,799
easily and since you're in here you can also see that these were developed in

45
00:03:12,799 --> 00:03:20,360
collaboration with Meridian the high-end audio manufacturer that LG actually also

46
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:25,560
sponsored a tour of their facility a couple of years ago back when touring

47
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:29,760
facilities was a thing on the earbuds themselves is a total of three

48
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:34,640
microphones per earbud and these contri rute to a couple of features one is

49
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,439
apparently exceptional call Quality so we're going to go ahead and record a

50
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:42,239
call to plof who's sitting over there in a minute but another one is that the fp8

51
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,840
support active noise cancellation just like the top tier competitors that LG is

52
00:03:44,519 --> 00:03:53,159
up against at this price point the mics are located here here

53
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:56,519
and right there they've also got proximity sensors in them so they can

54
00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:00,560
detect if you take them out of your ears as well as touch sensitive buttons right

55
00:03:58,519 --> 00:04:04,480
here that can be configured in L G's app to serve various functions hopefully the

56
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:09,040
setup procedure is pretty painless but it should be because I tried it once

57
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:16,759
before we started and it was like super easy connect prompts you to download the

58
00:04:13,079 --> 00:04:18,400
app touch twice end call volume control

59
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:22,880
three times to play the next song and long press is ambient control colored

60
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,560
light indicator tells you how much battery life is left on your case hey oh

61
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,639
right that makes sense I closed it so it went away I was going through the user

62
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:37,440
manual let me have my fun time to put these in let's

63
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:41,600
try couple of different eqs I'm going to start with natural obviously that's

64
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:48,400
usually my preference let's just have them be noise blocking but not noise

65
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,639
cancelling by default touchpad lock oh

66
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:55,120
interesting well how do you unlock

67
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:57,479
it no it's just locked right

68
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:03,320
now now it's working so you can see I changed over to ambient mode there

69
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,320
noise cancelling mode huh so you've got different levels of noise cancellation

70
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:11,919
you know that kind of pressure feeling on your ears when you have noise

71
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:13,600
cancellation on I mean honestly it's not

72
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:17,960
especially noticeable to me on these anyway but you can decide if it's over

73
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:22,000
your your threshold then you can turn it down to low normally noise cancellation

74
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:28,280
doesn't do a great job of things like human conversation

75
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,479
but I

76
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:35,440
could I could hear it kind of like that like I could just barely make out little

77
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:39,160
bits of what Colin was saying game mode

78
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:42,280
whoa cool lower latency Whispering mode

79
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,240
hold the right earbud near the mouth to

80
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:49,199
speak softly on the phone okay we're going to have to try this okay I'm I'm

81
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:51,840
calling you hello can you hear me yeah I

82
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:56,479
can hear you uh how how am uh how am I doing you hear me all right yeah

83
00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:00,759
PR okay let's uh let's give this whisper mode thing a shot here I have to take

84
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:05,479
out the right one and okay can you hear me all right yeah

85
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:11,960
you're still Whispering oh interesting I screwed this

86
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,599
up Andy uh the microphones I don't know there's four holes in the thing so I

87
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:21,080
don't know which three are microphones so there's the one here which I suspect

88
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,800
is to listen to like what makes it past

89
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,360
the earphones so that one's got to be a mic this one's got to be a mic but I

90
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:31,000
don't think this one is I think it's actually just another port for this one

91
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:35,360
okay what about now can you hear me better yeah I can hear you Whispering

92
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:39,319
it's a little better okay the point of this mode is supposed to be that you're

93
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:42,680
in like a a loud environment or busy environment where you want to have a

94
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:47,919
quiet conversation so what if there was some ambient

95
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:52,639
noise get get some crab Reef going in here

96
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:54,880
okay I've got the speaker like right my

97
00:06:52,639 --> 00:07:00,599
head still hear me all right yeah I can still hear

98
00:06:57,039 --> 00:07:02,840
you I'm having a harder time hearing you

99
00:07:00,599 --> 00:07:02,840
hold

100
00:07:06,599 --> 00:07:14,280
give I'm turning on I'm turning on my noise cancellation so I can hopefully

101
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,280
block a bit of

102
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:21,240
that okay so how would you describe the audio quality out of

103
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:28,520
10 or seven considering or seven yeah

104
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:36,160
whispering I mean a six under those circumstances is I consider to be kind

105
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,520
of a win yeah you clear right

106
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,840
up okay thanks proof I think that's good for now unfortunately it looks like

107
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:46,919
whisper mode is something you have to toggle manually right now it's in the

108
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:50,199
lab uh but maybe it's something that you

109
00:07:46,919 --> 00:07:52,360
can uh use your buttons for if you

110
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:57,560
customize that oh customize touchpad functions here we go cool so touch three

111
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,520
times okay whisper mode on and off is not a thing that you can do but it would

112
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,840
be cool if you could LG if you guys are watching which I know for a fact you are

113
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:07,159
it'd be super cool if you could turn things like whisper mode on and off in

114
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:12,319
here rather than just having a limited number of functions they're ipx for

115
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,720
water resistant not the case though 5 minutes of charging gets you an hour of

116
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:21,280
battery but more importantly these sound great let's see

117
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:26,960
how easy it is to nail those touch controls

118
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:26,960
okay that's on and

119
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,759
off responsive so

120
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,080
far about a third of a second delay one

121
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:45,040
of the big things for me is I actually sleep with my earphones in so Comfort is

122
00:08:41,479 --> 00:08:46,680
King for me um and you know I've settled

123
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,040
in terms of audio quality in order to have something that's really comfortable

124
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:54,240
but part of comfort is what they feel like when I'm up and about and part of

125
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:59,000
it is what they feel like when I am lying down um I've ever since I had kids

126
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:04,160
I've slept with noise cancelling earphones in or at least noise blocking

127
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:08,120
earphones in um just helps me sleep through better so let's see sorry this

128
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:13,079
is just a very important Benchmark because this is what ended up killing

129
00:09:09,959 --> 00:09:15,440
the Sony wf1000xm fors for me is that

130
00:09:13,079 --> 00:09:19,880
they're super comfortable under all circumstances but the touch sensors on

131
00:09:17,959 --> 00:09:23,800
them were activated by my pillow constantly let me see if I can activate

132
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:27,519
a touch sensor here look this doesn't look like benchmarking but I assure you

133
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:32,040
it is nope

134
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:37,560
haven't managed to hit it and how do they do for a shake test here here let's

135
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,560
get this pillow out of here LTT

136
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:51,560
store.com ah oh I heard my neck

137
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:54,360
crack that's pretty good huh sorry I'm a

138
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:59,040
little I'm fine all right the last thing I'm apparently supposed to try is the

139
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:03,959
immersive audio mode that they worked on with LG I can pretty much guarantee that

140
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:11,240
I'll hate it because anything other than just the music in my ears is generally

141
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,920
not my preference you hear me okay uh

142
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:17,760
yeah I can now the ambient mode sounds really natural actually that's great

143
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:23,120
like I can converse with you just fine okay what about just passive noise

144
00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:25,320
control hi Hi l oh yeah I can hear you I

145
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:29,880
can hear you reasonably well uh oh sure

146
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,839
I think I'd probably just leave it on high mode personally honestly you know

147
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,320
what lots of people do like playing around with different eqs and different

148
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:46,040
audio effects and stuff like that I don't personally find that these need

149
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:52,480
any eqing out of the box your mileage may vary as far as that goes but as far

150
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:54,720
as the like effects being applied a good

151
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:58,160
pair of earphones won't need them and I don't honestly think these need them oh

152
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:03,839
look at that there's a nice little custom EQ control love it and natural is

153
00:11:01,959 --> 00:11:09,240
fine and it's fine for this video to be over so they're not cheap but as far as

154
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:13,440
being feature Rich goes there's not much else that I'd be asking for thanks LG

155
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,839
for sponsoring this video and sending these over that's it bye
