LG TONE Free HBS-FN4 Wireless Earbuds Review

[@shreekrishsridhar7194]

Great review! Thinking of buying these as there's a massive sale going on. Just wanted to know if this model has multipoint connectivity option. I've been struggling to find good TWS Earphones that have multipoint connectivity as I'd like to connect my phone and laptop simultaneously to the earphones.

[@ReadySetGOTV]

Appreciate your support Shreekrish! I was able to connect one earbud per device but not both. If you search around you can even get the FN6 with UV Light at the same price point of the FN4s. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!

Here they are 30 bucks, i use tronsmart spunky pro's but i wanted a sound ugrade and dont know if that's the case.....no qi charging also...witch i dont use at the moment so ..but still

@@HTC-1337 Haven't had a chance to test any Tronsmart wireless earbuds yet, but in my opinion, the FN4's are a solid deal at $30. Thanks for watching!

I got these by accident, I ordered a tv but cancelled the tv because the reviews were poor. They still delivered the headphones which were supposed to be free. I forgot all about them and now being charged lol. Tried them today and I think they are really good. I’m used to skull candy push so these are like a tech upgrade in comparison. Thank you for this video. I learned a few things 🤙🏼

This is the first set of wireless earbuds I have bought. I wanted to listen to podcasts or music while walking my dogs. They give me walk rage! Cutting in and out for most of the walk and they don't stay in my ears very long. Super frustrating since I didn't go for a cheap option. I came to this review hoping to find a solution but no mention of this issue in the video or comments :(

Can you only connect them with the case or is there a way to connect the buds without it

[@olusphone]

The bass on this is great, contrary to what is stated here. There is also no hiss. The statement about noticing 'no difference with the ambient sound because the buds do a great job of canceling out background noise', illustrates why this review is in reality, poor. The ambient sound is the opposite of noise cancelling. External sound is piped in, not cancelled out, when the ambient sound feature is used. That error is just unforgivable in a review. The ambient sound feature does work. Not as well as high-end Sony over-ear headphones, which is the only comparison I can personally make, but it is effective . The 3 star rating is frankly, disproportionately harsh. As is the commentary about bass ( yes, I am repeating myself, but it is a point worth making twice!). I am very much a bass head and I was blown away. I intend to purchase the current top of the range lg Buds because I was so impressed with these and I want to have better battery life for my own use purposes. The battery life on these is decent, charging time is decent, but personally I am used to longer intervals between charges and simply want to maintain that. These are FANTASTIC earbuds, don't believe the negative hype. I would give these 4.5 stars.

[@ReadySetGOTV]

This was one of our first wireless earbud reviews and by no means is a perfect one and for that we apologize. Your comment regarding the ambient sound feature is accurate as its main function is to allow more background noise rather than cancelling it and the feature actually does a serviceable job. Regarding the rating, we feel that with its overall features, 3 stars back then was pretty fair considering their initial $100 price tag. After using for over a year, we feel the same regarding their bass output and still consider it an area of improvement. Nevertheless, they're a great deal if you can find them at discounted prices like many viewers have recently commented. We truly feel there's no negative hype in our reviews; we're just trying to give our honest opinion. We appreciate your feedback, O S and thanks for watching!

[@manwell235]

I am thinking of getting either the FN4 or FN6. The FN4 is on sale for $25 now which i think is good value. I like the FN6 UV light too. But I think I might just get the FN4 if sound quality is same between the two models.

[@olusphone]

@@manwell235 Hi. I cannot comment on the FN6 as I haven't tried them. I did buy the FP9 in addition to the FN4 and now they are the only headphones I use. I think if you can get the FN4 for $25 then you should snap them up.

If you want me to be honest, for the price you can probably find better sounding options out there. Even the low budget AUKEY T-21S sound better in my opinion. Don't get me wrong they're decent just a bit pricey in my opinion.

[@rezapahlaviisking]

Hey so it only holds 6 hours of charge? Powerbeats hold an average of 14 hours on one charge. 6 hours sounds very low

[@ReadySetGOTV]

I agree with you Ben. Cool thing is that you only need to charge them 5 min in the case for an extra hour of playtime. When compared to the bigger Powerbeats, the smaller, low-profile size of LG's earbud's might explain the short charge time. Appreciate the feedback and please don't forget to subscribe!

Hi Jivoowz, Have you already done a factory reset? 1) Place both earbuds inside the case and leave it open. 2) Press the pairing button for 10 seconds until LED indicator flashes red. 3) Do initial pairing process to reconnect with device...

Hey Pedro, Based on everything you're describing you might have a defective item. If you're past the return window but still under warranty you should contact LG for assistance.

[@pedroreyesaragon]

@@ReadySetGOTV yeah thanks for answering! I already took my first FN4 to repair to the place I bought it (since LG only sells their products but since they don’t have any store in my country they usually don’t take care of their defective products and stores have to do it themselves *main reason people never buy this brand here*) they told me they had fixed it, but still wasn’t working properly, the second time they gave me a new pair that worked decently for about 2 weeks and then started having the same issues, but since I updated them my FN4 are just unusable, the case just doesn’t charge. The store where I bought them is one of the most famous in here for selling brand new and original products and I’m not the only one having problems with these earphones, so I just wanted to say that I wouldn’t recommend these LG FN4, you can definitely get better sound, a better user experience and more battery for less!. Thanks!

[@ReadySetGOTV]

@@pedroreyesaragon I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience with these earbuds. May I ask what country you live in? I personally had some minor issues but nothing like your situation.
