LG TONE Free T90 vs TF8 Wireless Earbuds (vs FP9) | The REAL AirPods Pro Killers! 

This is the exact comparison I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

I want to praise this GREAT review, but at the same time I want to provide a bit of warning: I was an owner of the FP9's until end of July, for over a year total as my purchase was around march 2022. The reason I no longer own them is they went for repair due to 2 MAJOR failures, as both buds started dislodging themselves due to poor glue. I never had them in strong sunlight, never crushed them, and certainly didn't abuse them although I did wear them on a good 30+ workouts during the tenure. Another MAJOR fault was that the case's UV light protections unglued themselves too. These are thin sheets of acetate-like material, and without them, the UV LED will likely be worn out from sweat pretty fast although one may not notice it since the FP9 case also has the "fake" blue LEDs which are just for show, and UV is never really on for us to see if working. I want to stress that I even found other people complaining online of the former problem, and the repair center (which ended up not getting the parts on time, hence I got refunded) mentioned the problem was common (of buds dislodging). The later problem is likely also common, but since I was very lucky to notice it - I saw both films come out in different instances - most people likely have not noticed, and the fact we can't see if the UV LEDs are actually broken also doesn't help. All in all I would never purchase these particular buds again for these major issues, despite LOVING them while they were OK. I was a bit disgruntled when I purchased them for not having wireless charging (I originally thought FP9 would have it, but they traded Chi for Plug and Wireless between FP8 and 9). This year, as you say, there's multi-pair, which I really wanted for dual PC/Phone use, aptX which also left me a bad taste of the mouth vs same-price buds with better codecs (Samsung Buds Pro, XM3-4, etc). But most of all, I am looking that they have improved those two major issues I pointed. I have a pair of T90's coming as they were just too good to pass at 150EUR, and my fingers are crossed. Even this year, I could not find anything better for my needs, as the Buds Pro 2 still lock out 2 main features behind Galaxy devices - their "multi-pair-like" feature being a major example, and good codec being another. I'm a bit sad for the choice of aptX+SnapdragonSound vs aptX+LDAC which would be more universal (yet more cumbersome in reception, but still), but aptX alone is fine as it's the HD version. Hopefully my S20 FE will cope with the maximum quality. I'll report back if they indeed have the major issues fixed, but in my case it took over a year for the problem to present itself. Thank god for EU consumer laws which made me get a refund for the long repair time and I get 2y full warranty for stupid stuff like this.

I swear you talked about this review coming ages ago 😂 either way was worth the wait. Awesome job!

i really like your reviews, you cover everything and sound more impartial than others.

Nice review, informative. I've gone for the ufp8 sports earbuds, for my needs. I'm still using the superb LG v60. A shame they don't make use of aptx adaptive.

Thnks for a good comparison. I got the T90's. I dont know if its since I have all LG AV equipment but the dolby Atmos puts my 7.2.2 theater set up to shame. But what amazed me most was the Atmos head tracking when using vr.

All of those are beautiful earbuds, and Audio quality is awesome. The only thing I don't like is that they don't have ANC for the mics

Awesome video! I like the plug in wireless feature! Does the FP9 have it as well? Worth picking up the FP9?

God tier review. Thank you

The fit & sound quality of the LG TONE TF8 left me with my mouth hanging. I'm NEVER going back to $20 ear buds! Like the song says, "When you're used to filet mignon It's kinda hard to go back to Hamburger Helper." Thanks for the breakdown.

How does the audio quality of the LG fp9 and T90 compare with the airpods pro?

I would love a comparison with the brand new sondcore liberty 4, specialy in the spatial sound stuff....

Nice content thank you. The TF8s microphone's are not going to be as good because of the IPX rating waterproofing makes it harder for them to perform. Latency on RU-vid with Android is a real problem for me anyway. Thanks again I'm enjoying your reviews. 🤔👍💯🇺🇸

I have a bad experience with powerbeats pro as they caused an itching with my ear and irritation around the hook. I've tried galaxy buds pro for 30 min and already caused ear irritation ( i ve read reports about the building material that was changed was somehow causing irritation ) . I was planning to buy bud pro 2 but was affraid of this since build material is the same as buds pro . I think with your video Im really considering buying T90 as comfort is something really important to me . Whats your favorite earbuds overall 🤔?

Hello, Can you give more details on plug and wireless mode when game mode is turned on? I'm looking for good audio quality but very low latency headphones/earbuds

I have the LG T90 . It is now £90 ( Black version on Amazon UK ) , a bargain if you consider the extras like the ability to use the wireless connection for old equipment ( old iPod , car media , radio ) that have no bluetooth. Both 3.5 mm and Usb wire connection provided. in the box. My Old Chromebox has only Bluetooth 4.O. When I connect it using the usbc to the old usb ( on the computer ) I have a much better range where I can use the earbuds away from the desktop computer. The ANC is mediocre I think but the sound is good, I am not an audiophile. The app is very good. I have other earbuds to compare with but the LG is the most versatile. Multipoint connectivity is useful.

Is the noise canceling and ambient sound on these comparable to the airpods pros?

I remain convinced that one of the main reasons why LG earbuds are only popular is that despite their rather high prices, LG never makes updates to bring new features or fix flaws. The Fp8/Fp9 for example have not received any update to improve the quality of microphones in phone calls in noisy environments, and especially none of the new features of the application and even less multipoint while the hardware allows it. LG should take a cue from Apple and Sony and update its earbuds, instead of just releasing a new model for each new software feature.

Compared T90Q n T60Q beside Dolby Atmos n the charger blue tooth case. Any more difference? ANC, bass, clearness n comfort???

What codec is being used when the charging case is used as a transmitter on the T90? Snapdragon?

hello, do you recommend these tone tf8 or better the jayrbid vista2, I want them for running or some other headset for 210 dollars, I'm going to switch to samsung, thank you very much

I have a pair of fp9s that the shell on the right earbud just split apart. Called lg and they don't want to really offer any help to them as they say they are in warranty but cannot warranty them. I'm an electrical and general contractor and love their battery life, and the tf8s seem like a better option. I'm worried about dealing with lg on warranty issues with them as well. Any feedback on this?

I have Dolby Atmos on my Xiaomi Poco F3 phone. Is it any different between having Atmos on my phone versus Atmos on these LG earbuds?

I am planning to buy the T90, but i want to ask how does their circumference size compare with the airpods pro? The airpods are small and good size that fit my ears well. Also how do their audio/sound compare with the airpods pro?

Which do you think are the best in terms of sound, with deep bass??

U said the tf8 had vents, is it like the jabra85t ear pressure Relief vents or how can i imagine those?

I wonder if there is a case with wireless charging for the sports model?

Works microfone while using cable p2 with case??? I want for xbox/ps

Does anyone know when these headphones will release globally? (T90's) I live in Australia but there are no places I can buy it here.

can you use transparency mode with one bud?

Hi! Quick question. Are the T90s any louder than the FP9s? If so by how much? Appreciated ✌🏽 great video

Weird, these don't seem to be available in Australia, can only get the FP9

Lg tone free t90 or Huawei freebuds pro 2 in terms of sound quality and power? Right now they are the same price in my country

I have had a pair of FP8s and FP9s. Both have had literally fallen apart, the glue that holds the in ear part of the shell and the stem has seemingly dissolved leaving a gap. Has anyone who owns the t90 had this issue?

My only complaint with these is that there isn’t a Home Screen or notifications drop down widget to quickly change modes if you gotta talk to someone or need to hear a train announcement like AirPods or samsung or jabra earbuds. Or if I just wanna keep anc/ambient mode off without having to into the app since you can’t turn off both with touch controls. Even the apple beats fit pro got widgets on android while my LG T90 with my LG V60 require an app to use 😅

Did anyone's tf8 constantly create breaks in sound during their listening sessions? I feel like mine does it a few times during a single song. I tried other earplugs with my phone and they all worked fine just this one seems to do this for some reason

I'm not a fan of the general sound brightness that airpods have. Getting such a good alternative is a good thing.

T90 must have for travel life changer

I have a problem with my dfp9 when I use them on max volume with bass songs the drivers crush why does it that pls help😢

Does it better than pixel buds pro overall?

Sony ericson walkman series sound is a best sound on the earth

What are the 3 best earbuds that i can get for around 150$?

Everything that i had from, anker, jbl, bose etc, sony linkbuds S for me are the best, extremely comfortable, good sound, enoch anc, and battery, i dont like xm4 they dont fit that well, for me if they dont fit and have a good sound, they can have the best anc in the world, there is nothing more important then sound and comfort

LG is best in world

Why they gotta be 200 bucks and radioactive peeepee yellow inside

I had the LG TONE Free UFP9. Bought them because I was suckered in by that UV sanitization stuff. Very comfortable but sound quality is absolute garbage no matter what settings you have in the EQ. Never buying LG TWS again. If you want fantastic sounding stem earbuds for the bargain price, get the Soundpeats H2.

This review are not 100% accurate. The LG's do not have compatibility with Iphone Siri. They do not read notification and you cannot start SIRI unless you touch a button. the Hey SIri does not engage.
