I love the sound when listening to music or videos especially the Dolby Atmos feature with the head tracking. The bass on these little things are great 👍🏽 and will amaze most people who tried them. With the small size the sound is so good I want to keep them in all day! Last thing I will note that they last about 3+ hours on long long calls. And the fit in your ears are so good you will forget you have them on I tested these all day with lots of music and plenty of calls!
Gripes :
Not happy to constantly hear your callers say I can’t hear you, you sound muffled or you sound so far away gets annoying. Or the fact you’re driving in a car with the windows slight open and they ask what’s that noise in the background because the mics are picking up the wind noise 😔. One last complaint is they sound so different in the 3 modes (ANC, OFF, AMBIENT) Anc sounds the best with the best bass response the other 2 are ok… For that reason I have to return them I need something for calls and music also they need to block the wind noise while I’m riding my bike. If they come out with a new pair that addresses these issues I wouldn’t mind getting another pair of these Tone free
Chicken Little –
I’m comparing this to the Sony WF1000M3 (Sony’s flagship ANC earbuds from 2019, considered one of the best to date) and the 1More neckband earbuds, and the Bose NC700, which is an unfair comparison.
The Sony and LG were launched at the same price point, so it would be fair to compare them head-to-head.
ANC
What I want to say here is that out-of-the box, the Sony and LG had similar ANC capabilities. However, third-party ear tips are available for the Sony, so you can buy acoustic foam ones that gets the best sound isolation possible. At that point, it is class leading but still not as good as the Bose, which let’s be honest is a different category.
Compared to the 1More neck buds, the LG has better ANC. These two have similar oval shaped ear tips.
Sound Quality
Compared to the Sony, the LG has a much more lively sound profile. I really like listening to music on the Immersive sound setting in their app.
The LG’s have surprising bass for something so small. I think it’s because of the larger diaphragm(?). These have 10 or 11mm, I read somewhere, which are the largest of ear buds and help sound production in the lower frequencies. Whatever the reason, it sounds nice.
The 1More tries to do too much with its hardware. It tries to boost some frequencies, but the tiny speakers can’t produce the sound.
App.
Of the four compared on this, the LG has the best app I have seen for earphones/headphones. It has several sound settings. It advertises its Dolby Atmos, which I admit is nice for some audio streams. But I generally like the Sound Stage or Immersive settings for music. The Atmos is nice for podcasts, because it creates the illusion the sound is coming from a spot in front of you and a little higher. If you turn your head, the source of the sound stays put for a few seconds. This for me has been useful keeping my focus for podcasts. When a server asks me questions over lunch and I turn, I can track both voices, because one is coming from the server off my shoulder and the other over my food.
Now for the bad! 🙁
Mic Quality
The mics on both ear buds point downward towards your chest. If you’re at a noisy restaurant, it still picks up a lot of ambient sound. I tried three telephone calls at three noisy restaurants, and in all three, the other party complained it was too noisy.
And what about “Whispering Mode?” This is an experimental feature according to the app. It makes the main mic on the right ear bud very sensitive, and turns off the other mic. You can then hold that as a microphone right up to your lips, so it picks you up better, or so they say. It doesn’t work quite well. In a mall with music playing overhead not particularly loudly, I tried to have a phone call and it didn’t work at all.
Worse, if you leave Whispering Mode enabled and insert both earbuds and try to have a phone call, your audio seems to fade in and out.
Compared to the other buds, I can’t say that any of them have handled calls in noisy environments well. If you’re at a noisy restaurant, none of these are probably usable.
The 1More has trouble with wind. The Sony is large and blocky, so wear outside with caution. There are no winners here.
The Case and Battery Life
Yes. There is a UV sanitization feature, or at least as far as I can tell, a blue light goes on when you place the buds in their case when the case is plugged in.
The case is tiny. It’s less wide than a credit card. It fits easily in the pockets of my shorts. The Sony’s was large and blocky and I could not carry it in any pocket, comfortably.
Unfortunately it also has the shortest battery life of all of the buds, Supposedly it can get you through 8 hours, but I have not tried. (It’s not a good idea to wear buds for that long.)
Final Words?
The 1More, I bought new at $60 on clearance. It’s discontinued.
The LG and Sony were priced $200+ at launch. I’d say, they’re both over-priced — but I do like its sound the best of the buds in this group.
Just like normal buds😥 –
You can purchase a whole music set instead of this buds😫 so go for pocket frndly buds instead of this

This review is from an Android user perspective. If I was an iPhone user I would just be using the latest version of Airpods (for open ear experience) and Airpods Pro for closed ear with ANC. However after hearing latest reviews of the Airpod Pros ambient mode, maybe I would be just down to the one set of buds.
But I’m not an iPhone user. I hate iPhones.
I’ve tried the Airpods with Android and the experience just sucks. I can’t even see battery level of the buds from the phone.
So I’m left with looking for anything else.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
Jabra Evolve 65T (closed ear) (first set of true wireless earbuds I’ve owned)
Jabra Elite 75T (closed ear)
JLab Go Air Pop (closed ear)
Tribit FlyBuds C1 (closed ear)
Tribit FlyBuds C2 (open ear)
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro (closed ear)
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live (open ear)
JBL Live Pro 2 (closed ear)
Sony WF-1000XM4 (closed ear, foam tips. Stock tips too uncomfortable, replaced with small Comply foam tips)
And finally this LG Tone Free T90 (closed ear)
Order of importance for me on features of earbuds is:
1) Comfort
2) Sound quality
3) Mic quality
4) ANC
5) App available for monitoring or changing functionality
For open ear the options are the Tribit FlyBuds C2 or the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live. I tried the Buds Live first and liked them so much I bought two pairs. Then I tried the Tribit FlyBuds C2. They were more comfortable but had slightly worse sound quality. So for my pair of open ear earbuds, I reach for my Tribit FlyBuds C2.
For closed ear (which is why I’m writing this review), depending if I want ANC or not. If I want ANC, I reach for the Sony WF-1000XM4 with the Comply tips. Stock tips medium fit and didn’t leak sound via the app leak test. Small stock tips leaked. I bought the small Comply tips and they are even larger than the medium stock tips. They fit and make wearing the Sony’s bearable for hours. They are still heavy and I know I’m wearing them every second they are in. So again, if I need absolute silence, I go for the Sony WF-1000XM4.
However, I rarely need silence. So lets go through the others.
JLab Go Air Pop
These are fantastic for what they are, cheap earbuds without ANC. If I need a throwaway pair these are great. But not day to day usage great.
Tribit FlyBuds C1
No matter the tip (only stock tips tried), I couldn’t get them to not feel too large or make a seal. These don’t have ANC. They just felt like they would fall out. I never reach for these.
Jabra Evolve 65T
These introduced me to the world of true wireless earbuds. The sound sucks. These are in the vault to never be used again.
Jabra Elite 75T
Better than the 65T but not comfortable. I bought some SpinFit tips to replace the stock tips and comfort was better but sound quality was much worse. I gave these to my wife as I bought the gold versions on sale and she needed earbuds for her Android.
JBL Live Pro 2
I got these on sale. ANC was very good. However fit reminded me of the Tribit FlyBuds C1. I could always tell they were in my ears and they felt like they were going to fall out. I also gave these to my wife and she now uses these instead of the Jabra Elite 75T earbuds.
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
These are very good. Very light. Whatever material they make them with doesn’t irritate my ears like it does for a good amount of people. ANC is pretty good. Not near as good as the Sony’s but still good. Sound quality good. I could wear these for hours without issue.
LG Tone Free T90
Finally, the review for the product I’m leaving the review for. The ANC in these is worse than the Buds2 Pro and definitely worse than the Sony’s. I’d say they are about on par for the JBL Live Pro 2 for ANC. The case is great. I like the light feature to zap the earbuds between usage. Comfort these are the best for closed ear. Comfort for open ear goes to the Tribit FlyBuds C2.
End of the day when I want closed ear experience, I reach for the LG Tone Free T90 earbuds.
If I am working (working from home) and want the best ANC, I reach for the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds.
If I want open ear experience I reach for the Tribit FlyBuds C2.
If I want the smallest earbuds that don’t make it obvious I have earbuds in, I reach for the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro.
Hope this helped someone.

After seven months of near-constant use, I’ve gotten to know the LG Tone Free T90Q wireless earbuds quite intimately. In the realm of audio tech, they’ve become my constant companions, always tucked securely into my ears, and I’m excited to share my thoughts on these little guys.
Firstly, let’s talk about sound. The T90Qs are nothing short of a bass lover’s dream come true. They are a lovely pair that delivers an impressive thump that can make your favorite tracks feel like an over-zealous DJ is playing them. However, this bass-heavy sound profile does have its drawbacks. The mids can sometimes get crowded, resulting in a sound that is a tad muddy. It’s not a deal-breaker by any means, but for those of us who appreciate clarity across the entire frequency spectrum, it can feel like a letdown.
Moving on to comfort, the T90Qs excel in this department. They nestle into your ears comfortably but tend to slide around and must be adjusted frequently. Moreover, the UV cleaning feature built into the case is fantastic, especially for someone like me who has sensitive ears. It’s not only practical, but also a testament to the thought LG has put into the user experience.
The complaints about the microphone are also valid. I’m not sure how they managed to mess up a microphone so bad that the FP9 absolutely nailed, but it’s really bad. They pick up all the noise around you, which means that you sometimes have to shout for the other person to hear you if you sit near a fan or have children nearby.
Now, let’s address what I think is the worst feature: the proprietary ear tips. LG, I love your earbuds, but I love my Spinfit’s ear tips more. The inability to swap them out is a major disappointment. It feels like a step backward in terms of customization, and I hope it’s something that LG considers changing in future models.
Lastly, I’ve noticed a few performance issues after five months of use. I’ve experienced some intermittent cut-outs and battery issues, which can be pretty frustrating, especially in the middle of a great track or on a phone call where the audio jumps from one ear to another for a few seconds, then resolves itself. This happens when I’m sitting still and moving, when my phone is right in my pocket and right in front of me, and when multi-point is enabled and disabled. There’s no rhyme or reason I can see for this to happen. While I understand that no product is perfect, these issues seem to be something that should be addressed in the quality control process.
In conclusion, the LG Tone Free T90Q wireless earbuds are a solid choice for those who love bass and fun listening. The UV cleaning feature is a unique addition that speaks volumes about LG’s attention to detail. However, the proprietary ear tips and performance issues after several months of use are areas with definite room for improvement. Despite these cons, the T90Qs have made their mark, and I’m intrigued to see how LG will evolve them in the future.

Out of the box they are bass heavy with little to no midtones. An FW update and adjusting the EQ helped but depends on the song. Dolby Atmos sounds good takes a while to get used to it though. It is definitely immersive but it is also annoying sometimes depending on the song as it seams as though the speakers are cutting out or muted intermittently and never fully on. Occasionally you can hit a sweet spot and it sounds great but it doesn’t last for more than a few seconds. Shutting off Dolby Atmos increases the listening enjoyment in some cases. The amount of features are great, my biggest complaint is that they do not auto connect. I like the transmit feature of the case, as I use it with my Roku remote and the earbuds to watch TV but the sound quality goes way down doing this. Source Galaxy Fold 4 Android 12, Tidal HiFi.
Update:. Paired with an Apple iPhone 11 and the Dolby Atmos was much better than on the Galaxy Fold 4 and the full spectrum of the audio was richer than on the Android, which was extremely bass heavy as if you are sitting inside the bass drum while listening and I could not adjust it enough with the EQ to make it pleasant. With an iPhone source it did not have that heavy bass feel (although it does have a large bass presence). The midtones while connected to an iPhone are good and the audio quality is very similar to iPod Pros. Given the price point not sure I would recommend over the iPod Pros but on sale it is a very good alternative. Also for some reason the noise cancelling when connected to the iPhone was pretty good, when connected to an Android I couldn’t even tell the difference between ANC on or off.
Update 2: Updated my Galaxy Fold 4 to Android 13 and another FW update on the buds, the sound on the T90 seemed to improve dramatically, even the ANC seems better now. I think they have also started to break in some now and sound much better including the Dolby Atmos setting. I did a sound quality comparison (not fit, features or ANC) against the following earbuds (very subjective I know) but here was my ranking starting with what I considered the best first going down from there of the ones that I have. T90, Galaxy Buds Pro 2, EarFun Pro 3, Galaxy Buds Pro, EarFun Pro SV, Bose QC earbuds, Okeefe K23, Earfun Free Pro 2. I have several others but these were at the top, I found the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 were very natural and the best true sound but the T90 had a wider, deeper stage. It was bass heavy, but still sounded very good. I find when I want real audiophile sound I grab the galaxy buds pro 2 but when I want to rock out I seem to listen to the T90s a lot more. They are great for workouts because of the UV but they also get knocked out of my ears a lot. This is where the EarFun Free Pro 2 really excel because they go in your ear and don’t come out until you take them out however, they suffer on sound quality compared to the T90s. Over all there are still other buds I want to sample but so far the T90s are at the top of my list for features and sound quality. Source Galaxy Fold 4, Android 13, Tidal HiFi. If they would auto connect when I open the case like the others I would give them 5 stars.
