LG isn’t necessarily the first brand you think of when it comes to noise-cancelling true wireless earbuds. But the Tone Free T90 earbuds are a good argument that LG is here to compete with the big brands.
LG’s pitch is a pair of earbuds with plenty of high-quality technologies packed into a really compact body.
At the forefront of those technologies is supporting Dolby Head Tracking to create an immersive Dolby Atmos experience.
Immersive spatial audio is commonplace in home theatre setups where LG is perhaps better known, so there’s a lot of potential for LG to shine here.
The company has also partnered with audio company Meridian for its expertise in Digital Signal Processing (DSP), which helps deliver a number of impressive EQ presets.
But while the tech is exciting and the audio is good, regular connectivity problems and some challenges with the noise cancellation hold these earbuds back.
