TONE Free FP9

i had the fp9 before but switched to the xboom buds recently - better for laying down than the fp9 was. app handles anc and eq. worth checking if the fit works for you.

I bought the LG tone 9 last year for Black Friday for 40 dollars. They are really good. There might be a newer version. I had the fp8 a few years back. They are nearly identical. They last long, sturdy, come.with multiple earsize knobs to change, a sturdy box and as a gimmick, they have some UV light going when loading, which cleans bacteria. You can load your earplugs multiple time with the box and each load last your up to 6 or 7 hours i would say. I bought the 9 because the old ones dropped out and I thought I had lost them. My landlord found one in the hallway and the other one the neighbours cat played with for a few days till it was dropped by the cat in front of my door. They still work.

I stared my TWS journey with a pair of LG Tone Free buds, which were, and still are, kind of fun and full-featured (including the ability to use the case as a bluetooth transmitter). LG's buds don't get any attention, really. $100+ seems like a lot, as that space is pretty crowded with other good options, but I'm glad you're enjoying them. Thoughts about ANC, mic, transparency?

Don’t know if it’s for you but the only ones I can use are LG Tones. They have really small optional buds and they sit on your neck kind of like a necklace, then they are right there when you need them. I’ve been using for over a decade but they aren’t for everybody.
