Pretty Impressive Earbuds…

Firstly I was a bit sceptic with LG audio products as LG has well known in the other products like TVs, Mobiles, Projectors and such. So when hearing that it has earbuds with ANC, that interest me and definitely want to check it out. Besides, I was looking for a new set to replace my spoilt Airpods v1.
Looks:
I am pretty impressed with the design of this version. I've read on the web, Tone Free version 1 was bulkier and fatter. This ver2, I find it is comparable to my Airpods but just being slightly fatter. It is still compact such that putting it in my pocket practically during my commute doesn't make it looks too oddly bulging. The better part as compared to Airpods, it comes in MATT BLACK! I hate gloss finishing as it scratches very easily. So my verdict is 4/5
Fittings:
Frankly, I don't prefer earbuds coz I don't find device that intrude into my ear is comfortable. Hence, all my listening devices have been normal earpiece (like Airpods 1 or over-the-head type. Having this opportunity to this one out, I would say, it is surprisingly quite ok. I can bear using it for about 2hr (this of coz after getting used to the feeling of using it). But anything longer than that, I can start feeling slight pinch in my ear canal such that I had to remove it to take a break before I can use it again some time later again. So, my verdict for this is 2.5/5
Audio/sound quality:
This one I can say I am pretty impressed! The sound is on the slightly bassy side which I prefer especially with the ANC on. I would say it's pretty comparable to big brand names in the mid-range like Airpods Pro, Samsung, Jailbird, B&O and the such. I guess LG benefit in having collaboration with Meridian. So, my verdict is 4/5
Bonus:
This is the first product currently in the market that nano uv anti-bacteria cleaning mechanism. This is definitely a plus point especially in the current pandemic/endemic situation. Hence, I give my verdict of 5/5.
Overall, I can say I'm pretty impressed of what LG can produce in venturing into the audiophile sectors. I can assume this could be the beginning and would see more and much improved products in near future.
