LG TONE FREE FN6

amazon LG TONE FREE FN6 reviews

As you know, LG has recently made a very strong comeback into the mobile audio market, launching a series of new pairs of wireless headphones and speakers. Prominent among these is the pair of TONE Free FN6 with an extremely special feature: self-sanitizing to ensure hygiene every time.

How does this feature work, and are the other features of this pair of headphones worth the investment?

I like how LG can box its products; if the product is small, make a small box, which does not take up space and waste materials.

Opening the box, we immediately see the charging box of the headset, the long USB Type-C charging cord, and two rubber buffers.

The charging box of the FN6 has a round shape and is small; when picked up, it always fits in the palm. This box is made of glossy plastic, so it will not get dirty but can also scratch over time; users should pay attention to this issue.

This charging case is so small but quite powerful. When combined with this charging case, the headset has 18 hours and can quickly charge 5 minutes for 1 hour of use and even Qi wireless charging, not missing anything.

The headphones are placed very neatly inside, and the company also advertises the ability to change high-quality sound through the EQ of British sound company Meridian.

And finally, the most special feature of the TONE Free FN6 that no other pair of headphones on the market has: the ability to self-clean. Inside the box are built-in 2 Nano UV lights, activated for 10 minutes continuously when the user plugs in the charger, giving a more secure feeling when taking it out to use. That is a very good idea, especially in this time of a raging epidemic; any product we encounter every day needs to be clean and disinfected. Next to the 2 UVNano lights that work ‘invisible’ are two blue lights to identify the headset in the dark easily!

I also have to admit that I don’t have the exact measurement tools to know how effective this light is, so we’ll probably have to believe the company’s advertising, not verify it. This feature will also be less useful for those who regularly clean their headphones with alcohol, in which case I would recommend buying the TONE Free FN4 pair!

The earpiece does not have to say the design when the company chooses a fairly simple design without too many accents. But when it comes to technology, it must be said that the FN6 is ‘excessive’!

There is a touch screen on this pair of headphones to control all the headset features (can be adjusted with its software), IPX4 waterproof standard for sports, and sensors. Infrared inside to automatically cut off music while removing the headphones.

Comes with the headset is a complete control software on smartphones, including features: adjust sound quality through Meridian EQ, turn on and off the environmental listening feature, adjust the touch button as mentioned, the ability to read SMS and Messenger messages, upgrade the software and find the headset – when turned on the headset will sound ‘chip chip’ for users to find in the house, quite similar to the pair of headphones with integrated Tile chip.

Another good technology that affects sound quality is Meridian HSP (Headphone Spatial Processing). Accordingly, this technology allows the two sides of the headset to “exchange signals with each other,” recreating the sound stage space simulated from the speaker. That can be understood as a variation of the ‘crosstalk’ technology, which has been applied in high-end speakers to increase the soundstage width, now applied to the LG TONE Free FN6 pair of headphones.

So how do these headphones sound? We have four different EQ modes in the software, including Nature, Immersive, treble boost, and bass boost. In my opinion, Immersive is the best when bringing the sound quality of the FN6 closer to the listener, when Nature is too backward and ‘quiet.’ Perhaps LG also understands this when Immersive is the default sound quality; when opening the software, not Nature!

Despite having a more prominent and stronger sound quality than the ‘Nature’ sound quality, the FN6’s Immersive sound quality is still quite light and smooth, aiming to listen to more comfortably laid back music genres than stand out in any particular genre. The bass is not much, evenly between the mid-bass and the sub-bass so that there is no lump in any frequency band. That is again the strongest point of the Skullcandy Indy Evo pair, especially in the sub-bass part, where the pair of headphones from the US has many advantages. We can make the FN6 more bass thanks to the EQ Bass Boost mode, but still not as much as a pair of headphones designed for this range from the start like the Indy Evo.

The mid-range of the TONE Free FN6 has one strong point and one weakness, with the strength being the way it is expressed and the weakness being the position it is placed in the overall sound quality. Lorde’s voice in Royals is very natural; there are no differences such as too many low mids leading to the phenomenon of ‘stuffy nose’ or having many high mids to form sibilance. But most of the singer’s voice through the performance of FN6 is a little behind, not next to the listener, so in some songs that are tuned, this part is already gentle; it is a bit lacking. That can also be considered an advantage for those who like to listen to music in the form of ‘chill,’ laid back, but for me, it would be better if the mid advanced just a little bit more.

The band that FN6 scores and also surpass Skullcandy Indy Evo is the high band. Because the two bands below are quite smooth and do not take up much playing space, the treble of the FN6 can be played freely, along with very good brightness. This treble sound is easy to recognize every time it emerges but can adorn the song, not too bright, making it difficult to hear and uncomfortable.

Disinfection is the highlight, but everything else is fine.

Undoubtedly, the most prominent feature of the TONE Free FN6 is the ability to disinfect itself with UV Nano lights. Still, when used in practice, other features, including the sound quality of this pair of headphones, are guaranteed, creating a fairly comprehensive product.

Two points that I still want the company to do better are making the headset’s design better (at least add the company’s logo, for example) and bring the mid part a little higher, helping this part more outstanding.
