If you have a nickel allergy, these are the earbuds for you!
By Ron Mirasol on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2022
If wearing true wireless earbuds gives you a rash inside your ears, you may suffer from an allergic reaction to nickel. The LG Tone Free FP8 buds are the first that I can wear with no irritation at all, and I've tried several brands. When I got my first pair of wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Pro, I ended up with rash so severe I had to see a dermatologist to get antibiotics. There were enough people who reported getting rashes from the Buds Pro that Samsung refunded my purchase and medical expenses with no fuss. I'd never heard of nickel allergies before (I don't wear jewelry or big belt buckles, which can also cause rashes because of their nickel content), and because I'd used so many pairs of wired earbuds with no problems, I thought this was a one off. So, the next year, I got the Galaxy Buds2 Pro, thinking that Samsung would have corrected whatever caused the problem. But after just a couple of minutes wearing them, I felt the beginnings of the rash coming on. I also tried the Beats Studio Buds, with the same results. It was at this point I did more research, and learned that nickel could be the culprit, and it's commonly used in the charging connectors of true wireless earbuds. Would I be stuck with wired earbuds forever? Luckily, I found some people with nickel allergies who reported that the LG Tone Free FP9 earbuds didn't give them any problems. The Tone Free line has features for health-conscious customers - the ear tips are made of medical grade silicon (some people suffer from silicon allergies) and the case uses UV light to kill bacteria on the ear mesh. I decided to try this model, the FP8's, because the case features Qi wireless charging. And, no rash! The remaining feature set matches up with other premium wireless earbuds: noise canceling and ambient modes, touch controls, charging case, low latency game mode, and an equalizer. It also has a unique "whisper mode" in which you take the earbud out and hold it close to your mouth, if you're in a quiet place but have to make a call. I can't really compare how these features line up to other earbuds (because I can't use others) - I can just say that they work for me. And that I'm so happy to finally have wireless earbuds that I can actually wear!

Not AirPod pro killers but great sound quality!
By Eric Wang on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2022
I bought these because I was looking to replace my lost AirPod pro’s. My conclusion is that these are a very good pair of TWS earbuds but the noise cancelling is not on par with AirPod pro’s. There is a humming sound that I hear while the cancellation is on, it is a bit annoying but not significant enough for me to return them. My wife has a pair of galaxy buds 2 and even though these sound better the noise cancelling is actually better on the galaxy .The ambient mode works really well and I can hear voices clearly when it ison . They do sound fantastic, especially when you are able to adjust the eq on the app to your liking. I actually think these sound better then the first gen AirPod pro’s, even though the pro’s have bigger drivers. This supposedly also has some sort of spatial Audio but in my use I didn’t notice that functionality. The app is awesome but crashes sometimes and you can only use the eq settings on your phone.I tried pairing this to my projector and I couldn’t use the eq settings Final Thoughts: I do like these but I still miss my AirPods Pro’s because of some the features like spatial audio and because I’m in the ecosystem. (Bare in mind these are also less expensive than the AirPods) So for the price and some of the features you really can’t beat the value.
