LG’s new range of TONE Free wireless earphones have arrived in South Africa

-

LG Electronics, a global leader in advanced electronics, has recently announced that their new range of TONE Free FP series earphones are now available in South Africa. These award-winning wireless earphones boast several improvements – such as LG’s new Whispering Mode – to complement their comfortable in-ear fit, advanced Meridian-tuned sound, Active Noise Cancellation, and an auto-cleaning UVnano charging case. Whether they’re for work, gaming, or fitness, the beauty of these earphones is that they deliver immersive sound experiences without the inconvenience of wires or bulky headsets. If you’re in the market for new smart audio tech, here’s what to look out for in LG’s latest TONE Free wireless earphones...

Whisper-quiet calls

LG’s new Whispering Mode allows users to hold the right earphone close to their mouth and whisper into its microphone, enabling crystal clear and completely private phone calls even in public environments, such as a library or crowded restaurant. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is another must-have feature as it eliminates low-frequency sounds that can’t be completely blocked by normal earphones. LG’s TONE Free models boast three microphones in each headset that listen for ambient noises and neutralise them by producing identical, though inaudible, soundwaves. By blocking intrusive background noise from three different directions, the ANC of the TONE Free earphones makes calls and music that much clearer.



 

More immersive audio

When it comes to the best listening experiences, immersion is everything. But there’s more to it than sound quality. LG’s TONE Free earphones feature Merdian Audio, a pioneering sound technology that uses digital signal processing to make sounds appear to originate from all directions. The TONE Free FP series adds a 3D Sound Stage feature to this, expanding the sound point via spatial up-mixing and allowing you to hear your favourite tracks in a simulated 3D space. With larger, upgraded drivers and diaphragms featuring silicone edging, allowing for more flexibility and movement, the new TONE Free models now deliver more powerful bass without compromising on clarity or detail.

Ideal for an active lifestyle

If you’re out for a run, or doing an intense workout at the gym, the last thing you need is to drop or lose an expensive earpod. To ensure that their TONE Free FP earphones are always a perfect fit, LG collaborated with an ergonomic design technology lab to analyse hundreds of subjects’ ears. This resulted in the sleek Arc Design, featuring a headset stem 4.4 millimetres shorter than previous models. The FP series earphones are also IPX4 rated, which means they are water resistant, and allow for worry-free listening during hard workout sessions or even in the rain.

 


Keeping it clean

Wearing a headset for too long, especially during sweaty workouts, can result in irritated skin or painful ear infections. Two of LG’s three FP series earphones include the industry’s only auto-cleaning UVnano charging case that uses ultra-violet light to reduce bacteria on the earphone speaker mesh by 99.9% after just five minutes of charging. And, to reduce the risk of skin irritations, the earphones feature medical-grade, hypoallergenic ear gels. Of course, another way to avoid allergic reactions or infections is to wear earphones for shorter lengths of time but, with this solution from LG, you can enjoy longer listening with less worry.

 

Cutting-edge meets convenience

The FP series earphones are as convenient as they are innovative. They pair easily with your PC, gaming console, or other devices, either wirelessly or via a USB-C to AUX cable for low-latency sound. You can also use an AUX cable to listen to music when you don’t have Bluetooth available, which is especially convenient when travelling on an aeroplane. On top of that, the FP9 model enables the charging case to double as a wireless dongle. The FP series earphones boast exceptional battery life, delivering up to 10 hours of playback time between charges for a total of 24 hours of usage when used with the charging case. And, with quick charge, five minutes in the case equates to one full hour of listening.

Paired with the LG TONE Free App, LG’s newest earphones allow you to adjust the Meridian equalisers to match your musical taste. The app also features an Ambient Sound Mode that allows you to change the volume of your surroundings, or have your messages read to you without using your phone. And, if you happen to misplace your headsets, you can simply use Find My Earbuds on the app to locate them.

 

Listen up

The new LG TONE Free FP series will be available in South Africa this month in Charcoal Black and Pearl White. The FP5, FP8, and FP9 models will retail for R1999, R2699, and R3699 respectively. LG’s TONE Free ranges have undoubtedly set the benchmark for wire-free listening, so if you want to treat your ears to an upgrade make sure to look out for LG’s latest FP series.

  How can we grow young female entrepreneurship in South Africa? By Linda McClure, Raizcorp COO South Africa, like many countries globally, grapples with the challenge of  youth unemployment . This is supported by statistics indicating a 45,5% unemployment rate among young individuals (aged 15-34 years), in contrast to the national average of 32,9% in the first quarter of 2024. It’s clear, though, that the struggle continues for many South African women – specifically in the area of small business and entrepreneurship. According to the World Bank, Africa boasts the highest growth rate of female-run businesses in the world. But down on the southernmost tip of the continent, women are still in the minority when it comes to entrepreneurship. While more than half of South Africa’s population is female, only 38% of SMEs are women owned and led. Despite these benefits and the potential of entrepreneurship to improve the socio-economic empowerment of  women in South Africa, ...
