LG TONE Free FN7 (White)
A challenger to Airpods…

After using LG FN7 for about 2 weeks, I am positively surprised by the overall performance of the products. I own multiple sets of true wireless headphones, including Airpods Pro, Airpods, Jabra Elite Active 65T, Sennheiser Momentum True wireless (MTW), each of which is for a slightly different purpose, so I would say I am pretty well versed when come to where the benchmark is for true wireless headphones in the market. My overall impression of FN7 is that the closest comparable among the ones I own is Airpods Pro, both in terms of audio quality and microphone performance (for audio calls).
The look: I was given the white one despite my ask for a black one, I guess most people would prefer the black model as the white looks like airpods pro in your ear and may be frowned upon as Apple fakes. Otherwise, they look beautiful and sleek enough in your ears.
Comfort / fit: Really comfortable, I don't feel any discomfort after wearing it for a couple of hours.
The sound quality: personally this is the highlight of FN7, the Meridian tuning definitely helped. The four pre-set sound profiles are very useful and should meet the needs of most users. The custom setting is somewhat funny though, as sounds coming out it is far inferior than any of the pre-sets and will not get anything close to it no matter how you customize the bass, the mids and the highs.
BT Connection: flawless easy connection out of the case, though it only pairs with one device at one time, you need to disconnect one device before connecting a second one. From that aspect, Airpods Pro clearly wins as it is able to switch between apple devices much more smoothly without the need of manual disconnecting.
Call quality: tested on a phone call in a quite environment, no complaint, my sound was clear and loud according to my wife. Yet to test out outdoors / noisy environment.
ANC: I can feel the difference when ANC is on vs off / ambient, but compared to Airpods Pro, it loses out, but not by too far.
Overall I would recommend LG Tone Free FN7, it is a nice surprise for me. Sound is the highlight for me while it also offers decent call quality.
