LG Tone Free HBS-FN6 is the more affordable option of the two headsets launched in India and comes with a UV sanitization system for the earpieces in the case. When placed in the charging case, it uses UV light to sanitize the earpieces and claims to eliminate common germs and bacteria on the ear tips and inner mesh of the earpieces. It's important to point out here that the sanitization system isn't rated for effectiveness against virus strains such as COVID-19.
The earphones support SBC and AAC Bluetooth codecs and are tuned in collaboration with Meridian Audio. The earpieces are IPX4 rated for water resistance, and up to six hours of battery life is promised by the company, with an additional two charges from the case. Wireless and fast wireless charging are also supported for the case.
LG Tone Free HBS-FN7 has similar specifications to the HBS-FN6, but with active noise cancellation as an additional feature. Naturally, this also affects battery life, with the HBS-FN7 having a claimed battery life of up to five hours on the earpieces and two more charges from the charging case, with active noise cancellation in operation.
The active noise cancellation feature also means that LG Tone Free HBS-FN7 has three microphones on each earpiece, compared to two on the HBS-FN6. Both headsets use Bluetooth 5 for connectivity and are powered by 6mm dynamic drivers.
