The verdict

The LG TONE Free HBS-FN6 is a comfortable pair of earbuds with sound quality great for relatively accurate audio reproduction. These earbuds are unquestionably comfortable and IPX4-rated for workouts or downpours. However, for the price, these aren't the best deal overall.

✓What we like

✓Comfort and fit with silicone ear tips

✓Efficient fast charging - five minutes yields one hour of playtime

✓Ambient sound mode

✓Auto ear-detection and pause

✓Tuned by Meridian Audio for accurate audio reproduction

✓IPX4 water-resistance

✕What could be better

✕Connection hiccups when outdoors

✕Finicky touch controls - only the upper-quarter of stems registers reliably

✕AAC only, no aptX support

✕Battery life falls short of specification - lasts exactly 5 hours instead of claimed 6 hours
