LG Tone-FP5 Tone Free True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds FP5 - Active Noise Cancelling, Black

I picked these up after watching a review of the FP9s and almost buying those. I went with the FP5 instead because I didn't think the extra price was worth the extra features I didn't need and because I only planned on using these rarely around the house and sometimes when I'm out of the house. After getting them paired up with my iPhone (extremely quick and easy) I was shocked with how good they sounded immediately without any EQing. I installed the TONE app on iOS and changed the EQ settings to Immersive (Natural also sounds great) and I'm just blown away with how well they sound. I immediately paired them with my Android device and Windows PC and started using them as my daily drivers. I regret not getting the FP8 or FP9 headphones because those could only be better than these and were only about $50-$70 more when I was looking. They pair easily with all devices although I did have an issue with my Android phone where I had to pair and then put both earbuds back in the case to reset them because they kept reconnecting every 2-3 minutes, but after resetting them that issue stopped. Both the iOS and Android apps work great although updating the firmware on the earbuds with iOS was slow and mostly didn't work. I spent about 30 minutes trying to update the firmware on iOS and after it finally "worked" I thought I was good. After pairing with my Android phone the same firmware update was available so I had the Android app update both earbuds and it took less than 5 minutes. I'll be using Android to update the firmware going forward because of this one issue. I didn't notice any change after the firmware update so if I didn't have an Android device I wouldn't have missed out on anything so I didn't want to knock off a star for that reason. The comfort level is top notch, but they do not feel very secure with the included tips. I did test them and no matter how much I shook my head or moved around they were not going anywhere, they are definitely secured in place, they just don't feel like it with other earbuds I've used. They really feel like they're just floating in my ears which just adds to the comfort level for me. I had purchased some Etymotic Research ER3XR IEMs earlier this year for about the same price as the FP5 but the ER3XR were discounted from their $200 MSRP so I was told they were amazing, and they were great, the best pair I've owned in a long time, but the FP5 just sounds way better in terms of music. The ER3XR feel more comfortable and I can use them to monitor my microphone on my PC so I still use them, but the FP5 sound better and the wireless convenience has me using them more frequently than I had expected. I was also gifted a Audeze Mobius headset a while back which retailed for either $399 or $499 and, while it did sound really good for over the ear headphones, it didn't compare to the FP5's sound quality, comfort, and ease of use. The carrying case is great also, a lot smaller than I expected which was a great relief because I would rather keep it in my pocket than in a backpack. The biggest downside to both the earbuds and the case itself is that it collects lint, dust, and other particles very easily so I find myself cleaning them both every time I go to use them even if I cleaned them all off before I put them away. Not a huge deal, but a bit annoying. So to sum this review up: I really really like the FP5 earbuds, but I secretly wish I had a reason to upgrade to the FP9 model. After going through at least a dozen Bluetooth headsets, some I really liked but didn't last long, LG made me a fan for life with this product!

i love these, they’re perfect, yes they will separate and break right along the seam, but i just lined them back up and super glued them and they lasted me for 3 years until they broke again and started having actual issues, the noise cancellation, battery life, charging, case and sound quality as well as in ear comfort is the exact same as airpods if not better for a quarter of the price and twice the lifetime. but yes you will have to superglue them back together at least once.

First a few things of note: - They do NOT go all the way in your ear, rather sit just outside it. - The FP5s are pretty comfortable, I've worn them for hours straight without pain. (All depends on the user) - Passthrough works really well, it sounds like you are not wearing anything, however you do need the app to enable conversation mode. - Bass: it's there, and powerful enough to feel with the bass boost profile active. However, not overpowering. - Sound quality: On par with the Sony WF-1000XM3s, so pretty good. - 3D sound stage: Mediocre, feels kind of like you are playing the music through a box, but it works I guess. - NOISE CANCELATION is GOOD, but NOT the BEST, better than the $30 headphones, but no match for a set of **Sony WF-1000XM3s**. It won't make a crowd disappear without any music playing. However, anything that drones like HVAC, fans, road noise. Gone. You will not hear that stuff with noise cancelling on. (your mileage may vary) ***Now when you are playing music, the noise is gone. The noise cancellation in these really only makes it so that you don't have to destroy your ears to drown out a crowd.*** I play my music at about 40% volume with noise canceling on normally. I went to a convention and only had to turn it up to about 50% while in line waiting for registration. I tested it without noise canceling and had to turn the volume all the way up to 80% to only hear the music. That hurt too much- So I went back to using noise canceling. -------- Final thoughts: If you are looking for something that isn't too expensive, that has a name brand (I kindly request that all of the $30 competition leave the room) as in not $30 trash that breaks in like 2 months. I would go for these. It's priced in the mid-range, not trash, but also not $279 for the Sony's. They fill a pretty good niche. For sure more comfortable than that apple hard plastic airpods trash. - Worth the buy at $80-90 if you want quality for cheap.

The FP5 is an earlier LG earbud version with excellent sound, noise canceling, and quality Android phone connectivity that also works well with my Dell XPS-15 laptop. Paring with my LG smartphone was effortless. They are very comfortable. The latest versions of the Tone line have more impressive sound features (Dolby Atmos) but are more expensive. I recently tried connecting to my 2023 LG C3 Smart TV and the earbuds connected and worked exactly as I had hoped. I set the TV sound-out to Bluetooth-Only. when the earbuds are in use. They PAUSE and PLAY streaming in addition to controlling audio volume. Highly recommended and economical earbud choice.

So this is a bit of a mixed bag. These have felt like one of my best purchases and have been great quality as far as sound, noise cancellation, and mic quality much better than my phone and car stereo. However now 10 months after my purchase my left earbud (most used one since I mainly use one bud at a time) has started to split open at the seam where the two pieces of the place casing of the bud are joined. This has been the case for about a month and a half since I noticed and has progressed to being open enough to see the guts of the bud. Kind of disappointed in that regard considering they've been perfect otherwise and taken great care of em with nary a scratch of scuff on em. Update: since the one earbud stopped working and I had to use the remaining one it has started opening up in the same way with the open shell edges irritating my ear. I wouldn't trust any sweat protection/resistance claims after more than a handful of weeks of use.

They aren't the most bassful, and they don't truly insert into your ear, this is coming from someone who has only ever struggled with earbuds that had absolutely no rubber inserts and was a bare plastic case. They kind of sit in your canal like an apple headphone would. The quality is amazing and it offers many options of sound quality customization.. I haven't played a movie or song that managed to go outside of their bandwidth yet so A+ So 2 months in. Purchased August 25th. This is now November the 2nd. My right earbud has mysteriously stopped working, sounds as if I blew the speaker but never had any quality dips until it just died on me. Left earbud is now (2 weeks later) dying. Obvious distortion but not at all times, and it's losing volume. These headphones are bouncing in and out of sound quality, it is NOT a blown speaker. It's poor connection, or internal circuitry issues. Unsure. They were amazing then One day just.... Stopped being amazing with no warning, popping or any normal signs of a speakers inability to work through frequencies. (I love audio, and have high-end audio equipment for my vehicle, so yes I know what a blown speaker and a speaker being pushed past it's capabilities sounds like) Maybe it's been on sale for 2 months a reason lol

I remember the first earbuds I ever saw. They were black with a lil blue or red bit at the part where the cable meets. They were connected to a handheld box that had monochromatic tetrominos which dropped one at a time stacking wherever, and at a pace they only little brothers could keep up with. Their shape would hurt your ears after a while, because ergonomics wasn't a thing back then. And finally, they didn't really sound good at all. Technology has come leaps and bounds since the Nintendo gameboy, and these LG earbuds offer a ton of features in a tight package. The noise cancelling works fairly well for what they are. The battery life if okay. They're comfortable to wear for an extended period of time. The app is simple, intuitive, and not intrusive. They sound really good... And the were about 50$. What else can you ask for?

So, the sound quality is awesome, the ANC is really good, and I love the ambient noise feature, it let's me hear pretty well when I'm out walking. I can still hear my music or podcasts clearly, unless it's windy, but then I use the ANC. Only negative I've ever had with buying these is that I bought a replacement a while back and was sent a used pair. Also, the price on these has gone up way too much. I paid $100 the first time and since then they have been around $50-$60. Now they're up to $71 as a discount off of around $129 which is crazy since I found a pair with the UV light and wireless charging features at $54, but these FP5s are $71? Ridiculous.
