LG has just unveiled its new flagship wireless earphones, and if they're as good as they've promised, they could be some of the best wireless earphones ever made.
Last year's LG Tone Free FP8 true wireless earphones were a solid alternative to the Apple AirPods Pro and Sony WF-1000XM4 earphones, albeit cheaper and not as impressive. This year, LG has apparently kicked its game up a notch with the Tone Free T90 headphones, which feature upgraded drivers and materials that should make their sound quality better than ever.
These drivers will also be put to good use, as the T90s can support 24-bit/96kHz Hi-Res Audio. This should mean that audio quality and latency are more on par with wired headphones than other wireless headphones, helping to create a realistic soundstage full of detail that would otherwise be lost on a tighter connection. weak.
To help further enhance the soundstage, LG's Tone Free T90 headphones will be the first wireless headphones to use Dolby Head Tracking.

If
Packed with impressive audio features, these headphones promise you'll probably want to use them as often as possible, and the good news is that the T90s have a special case that should maximize the number of devices they're compatible with.
Wireless earbuds are generally limited by the lack of a wired connection, which means they typically can't connect to devices that don't support Bluetooth. Fortunately, the T90 case can use its Plug & Wireless feature to fix this problem.
Simply connect the box to the device you want to listen to using the included USB-C to Aux cable and it will automatically send audio to your headphones, just like a native Bluetooth connection.
That's not all the case can do. If your earbuds are running low on power, you can place them in the case for about an hour and they will fully charge, with the case storing up to 20 hours of extra power which will extend the total listening time of your earbuds to 29 hours.
Finally, the case has an UV light that promises to hygienically clean your headphones between uses, just like last year's model.

The T90 headphones will come with active noise cancellation so you can enjoy your audio without outside distractions.
