FULL STORY ======================================================================

LG has just unveiled its new flagship wireless earbuds, and if theyre as good as promised they could be some of the best wireless earbuds ever made.

Last years LG Tone Free FP8 true wireless earbuds were a solid alternative to the Apple AirPods Pro and Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds albeit cheaper and not quite as impressive. This year LG has seemingly kicked its game up a notch with the Tone Free T90 buds, boasting improved drivers and materials that should make its sound quality better than ever.

These drivers will be put to good use, too, as the T90s can support 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution audio . This should mean the audio quality and latency are more on-par with wired headphones than other wireless earbuds, helping to create a realistic soundstage thats full of details that would otherwise be lost in a weaker connection.

To help further enhance the soundstage, the LGs Tone Free T90 buds will be
the first wireless earbuds to use Dolby Head Tracking. Using this feature and its built-in Dolby Atmos support, these earbuds can track your head movements and alter the soundstage of the film or video game youre playing to keep you immersed in the scene rivaling the AirPodss popular Spatial Audio feature.

Youll be able to stay immersed in this audio for a decent length of time,
too, with the earbuds promising a continuous battery life of nine hours on par with some of the other best wireless earbuds out there. Just in case

Thanks to impressive audio features these earbuds are promising youll likely want to use them as often as you can, and the good news is that the T90s have a special case that should maximize the number of devices theyre compatible with.

Wireless earbuds are usually limited by their lack of a wired connection meaning they cant normally be hooked up to gadgets that dont support Bluetooth. Thankfully the T90s case can use its Plug & Wireless feature to
get around this problem.

Just connect the case to the device you want to listen to using the included USB-C to Aux cable and it will automatically send the audio to your earbuds just like a native Bluetooth connection.

Thats not all the case can do. If your earbuds are getting low on charge you can pop them in the case for roughly an hour and theyll be fully recharged, with the case storing up to 20 hours of bonus power thatll extend the total listening time of your earbuds to 29 hours.

Last but not least, the case boasts a UV light that promises to hygienically clean your earbuds between uses just like last years model. (Image credit:

Even with all of these next-gen features, LGs wireless earbuds dont seem to have forgotten the basics.

The T90 earbuds will come with active noise cancellation so you can enjoy
your audio free from outside distractions. Plus, LG promises the ergonomic design will ensure the earbuds sit comfortably in the wearers ear because whats the use of having earbuds that can last for nine hours if you cant bear to wear them for longer than nine minutes?

To confirm their audio quality and how comfortable they are well have to
try these earbuds out for ourselves. That said they look set to offer an impressive suite of features.

The only downside is their IPX4 waterproof rating. This means they should be safe from splashing water, but be careful not to wear them while swimming, if you're planning to work up a sweat, or to drop them in a puddle. If you are after audio suited to fitness, you might want to pick something from our best workout headphones instead.

LG hasnt revealed how much the T90 will cost, but based on what weve seen, expect a price of at least $150 / 150 / AU$200. We likely wont have long to wait before we find out for sure, though, as the T90 wireless earbuds are expected to launch worldwide by the end of August.
