00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.000
sometimes it's almost unfortunate when a brand sponsors a video like LG sponsored

00:00:04.279 --> 00:00:14.200
this one because the tonef free fp8 are hands down the most comfortable inear

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:15.759
wireless earphones that I have heard yet

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:19.439
not only that but they've got a super compact carrying case 24 hours of

00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:25.359
battery life with the battery included in the case and they are super small

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

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:32.759
some kind of bacteria killing Li in ins

00:00:30.279 --> 00:00:37.600
side that destroys bacteria on the mesh inside the ear they got that

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:40.559
too well we're going to have to take a closer look at these aren't

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:54.280
we LG sent me a fancy package with a few

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:57.480
fun things inside we've got the fp5 fp8

00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:59.399
and fp9 tonef free earbuds here to check

00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:05.119
out they've all got active noise cancellation and they share the same

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:07.960
physical design but the fp9 have LG's

00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:12.000
new plug and Wireless feature which is great for devices that don't have

00:01:09.479 --> 00:01:17.400
Bluetooth or that have really janky Bluetooth implementations like uh

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:20.759
certain mobile game consoles that bug out if you try to connect Bluetooth

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

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:28.040
in a 3 and 1/2 mm to USBC cable and then

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:32.520
you can actually use your case to forward the audio to the earphones super

00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:37.159
cool right that's actually great for things like plane treadmills like

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

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

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

00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:55.520
get the plug and wireless or their UV Nano feature we've mentioned that on the

00:01:52.920 --> 00:02:00.280
channel before but now the UV light inside the case Works twice as fast

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:05.079
killing 99% of the bacteria on each ear mesh within just 5 minutes of charging

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:09.399
these ones also lack wireless charging that's available only on the fp8 so

00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:13.000
Choose Wisely based on which features you care about the most as for which

00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:19.760
feature I care about the most LG apparently sent a special version of the

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:23.680
fp8 these are so cool why are more

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:25.800
Electronics not translucent LG on behalf

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:31.120
of everyone watching this video I calling upon you now to sell these it

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:35.000
really makes do appreciate all the tech built into them so much better in terms

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:40.840
of colors LG's tone free lineup is available in white they're calling this

00:02:37.239 --> 00:02:42.879
rose gold that's gold and black they

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

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:50.760
hit most of the talking points that LG asked for in the sponsored video so

00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:56.560
let's focus on what really matters inside you get small medium and large

00:02:54.040 --> 00:03:00.519
medical grade ear tips uh the medium ones were the right size for me your

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:04.440
mileage may vary you get a a USBC charging cable charging is handled by

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.959
these three metal contacts on both sides and you just pop them in little

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:11.360
something like that they're magnetic so they should snap into place pretty

00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:14.799
easily and since you're in here you can also see that these were developed in

00:03:12.799 --> 00:03:20.360
collaboration with Meridian the high-end audio manufacturer that LG actually also

00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:25.560
sponsored a tour of their facility a couple of years ago back when touring

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:29.760
facilities was a thing on the earbuds themselves is a total of three

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:34.640
microphones per earbud and these contri rute to a couple of features one is

00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:37.439
apparently exceptional call Quality so we're going to go ahead and record a

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

00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:46.840
support active noise cancellation just like the top tier competitors that LG is

00:03:44.519 --> 00:03:53.159
up against at this price point the mics are located here here

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:56.519
and right there they've also got proximity sensors in them so they can

00:03:54.680 --> 00:04:00.560
detect if you take them out of your ears as well as touch sensitive buttons right

00:03:58.519 --> 00:04:04.480
here that can be configured in L G's app to serve various functions hopefully the

00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:09.040
setup procedure is pretty painless but it should be because I tried it once

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:16.759
before we started and it was like super easy connect prompts you to download the

00:04:13.079 --> 00:04:18.400
app touch twice end call volume control

00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:22.880
three times to play the next song and long press is ambient control colored

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:27.560
light indicator tells you how much battery life is left on your case hey oh

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

00:04:29.320 --> 00:04:37.440
manual let me have my fun time to put these in let's

00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:41.600
try couple of different eqs I'm going to start with natural obviously that's

00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:48.400
usually my preference let's just have them be noise blocking but not noise

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:51.639
cancelling by default touchpad lock oh

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:55.120
interesting well how do you unlock

00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:57.479
it no it's just locked right

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:03.320
now now it's working so you can see I changed over to ambient mode there

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:07.320
noise cancelling mode huh so you've got different levels of noise cancellation

00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:11.919
you know that kind of pressure feeling on your ears when you have noise

00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:13.600
cancellation on I mean honestly it's not

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:17.960
especially noticeable to me on these anyway but you can decide if it's over

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:22.000
your your threshold then you can turn it down to low normally noise cancellation

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:28.280
doesn't do a great job of things like human conversation

00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:30.479
but I

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

00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:39.160
bits of what Colin was saying game mode

00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:42.280
whoa cool lower latency Whispering mode

00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:44.240
hold the right earbud near the mouth to

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

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:51.840
calling you hello can you hear me yeah I

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

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

00:05:57.880 --> 00:06:05.479
out the right one and okay can you hear me all right yeah

00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:11.960
you're still Whispering oh interesting I screwed this

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

00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:21.080
don't know which three are microphones so there's the one here which I suspect

00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:22.800
is to listen to like what makes it past

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

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

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:35.360
okay what about now can you hear me better yeah I can hear you Whispering

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

00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:42.680
in like a a loud environment or busy environment where you want to have a

00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:47.919
quiet conversation so what if there was some ambient

00:06:45.039 --> 00:06:52.639
noise get get some crab Reef going in here

00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.880
okay I've got the speaker like right my

00:06:52.639 --> 00:07:00.599
head still hear me all right yeah I can still hear

00:06:57.039 --> 00:07:02.840
you I'm having a harder time hearing you

00:07:00.599 --> 00:07:02.840
hold

00:07:06.599 --> 00:07:14.280
give I'm turning on I'm turning on my noise cancellation so I can hopefully

00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.280
block a bit of

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:21.240
that okay so how would you describe the audio quality out of

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:28.520
10 or seven considering or seven yeah

00:07:28.520 --> 00:07:36.160
whispering I mean a six under those circumstances is I consider to be kind

00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.520
of a win yeah you clear right

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.840
up okay thanks proof I think that's good for now unfortunately it looks like

00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:46.919
whisper mode is something you have to toggle manually right now it's in the

00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:50.199
lab uh but maybe it's something that you

00:07:46.919 --> 00:07:52.360
can uh use your buttons for if you

00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:57.560
customize that oh customize touchpad functions here we go cool so touch three

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

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

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

00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:12.319
here rather than just having a limited number of functions they're ipx for

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.720
water resistant not the case though 5 minutes of charging gets you an hour of

00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:21.280
battery but more importantly these sound great let's see

00:08:19.520 --> 00:08:26.960
how easy it is to nail those touch controls

00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.960
okay that's on and

00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:31.759
off responsive so

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:37.080
far about a third of a second delay one

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

00:08:41.479 --> 00:08:46.680
King for me um and you know I've settled

00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:50.040
in terms of audio quality in order to have something that's really comfortable

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

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

00:08:57.160 --> 00:09:04.160
I've slept with noise cancelling earphones in or at least noise blocking

00:09:01.640 --> 00:09:08.120
earphones in um just helps me sleep through better so let's see sorry this

00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:13.079
is just a very important Benchmark because this is what ended up killing

00:09:09.959 --> 00:09:15.440
the Sony wf1000xm fors for me is that

00:09:13.079 --> 00:09:19.880
they're super comfortable under all circumstances but the touch sensors on

00:09:17.959 --> 00:09:23.800
them were activated by my pillow constantly let me see if I can activate

00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:27.519
a touch sensor here look this doesn't look like benchmarking but I assure you

00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:32.040
it is nope

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

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.560
get this pillow out of here LTT

00:09:43.160 --> 00:09:51.560
store.com ah oh I heard my neck

00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:54.360
crack that's pretty good huh sorry I'm a

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

00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:03.959
immersive audio mode that they worked on with LG I can pretty much guarantee that

00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:11.240
I'll hate it because anything other than just the music in my ears is generally

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:12.920
not my preference you hear me okay uh

00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:17.760
yeah I can now the ambient mode sounds really natural actually that's great

00:10:14.920 --> 00:10:23.120
like I can converse with you just fine okay what about just passive noise

00:10:20.079 --> 00:10:25.320
control hi Hi l oh yeah I can hear you I

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:29.880
can hear you reasonably well uh oh sure

00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:37.839
I think I'd probably just leave it on high mode personally honestly you know

00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:41.320
what lots of people do like playing around with different eqs and different

00:10:39.560 --> 00:10:46.040
audio effects and stuff like that I don't personally find that these need

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

00:10:48.880 --> 00:10:54.720
as the like effects being applied a good

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

00:10:56.920 --> 00:11:03.839
look at that there's a nice little custom EQ control love it and natural is

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

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

00:11:11.800 --> 00:11:17.839
for sponsoring this video and sending these over that's it bye
