The verdict

The LG TONE Free T90Q tries to compete with other similarly priced active noise canceling (ANC) wireless earbuds. While the T90Q stands out with its Dolby technology and UV case, the active noise canceling (ANC) and audio don't bring much new to the table.

✓What we like

✓Good noise canceling

✓Many EQ options in app

✓Multipoint connectivity

✓Antibacterial UV case

✓Dolby Atmos and head tracking

✓Bluetooth 5.3; SBC, AAC, aptX Adaptive codecs

✕What could be better

✕Default sound is too bassy

✕Added crosstalk in "Natural" and "3D Soundstage" EQ is of questionable effectiveness

✕Poor microphone
