Launch of the LG Tone Free headphones with UV light that eliminates germs


Truly wireless headphones are everywhere, and for the most part, you’ll get a similar experience from the vast majority of them. Today, however, LG has released its Tone Free headphones in the United States with a unique cleaning feature.

The standout feature of LG’s latest truly wireless headphones is UV light in the charging case. LG uses this “UVnano” light to disinfect the headphones when they are in the case. The light kills 99.9% of the bacteria within the case, although it has not actually been tested to kill viruses, information that would be useful at this time. Still, this is something everyone should be able to appreciate, since it’s sticking directly to their ears.

Beyond that, though, these are relatively standard wireless headphones. LG uses a channel type fit that has a silicone tip at the end. This should provide a comfortable fit for most users, as well as offering some passive noise cancellation. Meridian also adjusts the audio and offers IPX4 water resistance. The buds themselves offer six hours of battery life with 18 more in the charging case.

LG also says that these headphones are “optimized” for the Google Assistant, but it is not the built-in method found in other LG and Pixel Buds headphones. Simply activate the Assistant on your phone. You can also activate Siri on iOS.

LG Tone Free HBS-FN6 costs $ 149 in the US, and ships from LG’s online store now in black. There are also versions without UV light and wireless charging that drop to $ 99.
