LG's Tone Free T90Q bring head-tracking spatialaudio to both iOS and Android users alike, breaking Apple's monopoly on the immersive listening feature.
LG Tone Free T90Q review: Taking a spatial shot at the AirPods Pro, with a little help from Dolby MSRP $220.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “Hyper-immersive listening and an insane number of features.” Pros Cons Let’s just get this out of the way: The LG Tone Free T90Q not only look just like Apple’s iconic AirPods Pro — they offer almost all of the AirPods Pro’s signature features , including head-tracking spatial audio.
Design In size, shape, and weight, the Tone Free T90Q — which come in black or white — are very similar to the AirPods Pro. If you like the look of the AirPods, you’ll feel right at home with the Tone Free. Using this feature pulls power from the case’s internal battery, and there’s no way to charge and transmit at the same time, so keep that in mind if you decide to use it somewhere where there’s no easy access to an outlet.
I say nearly, because the one thing that’s less than ideal is the size of the touch-sensitive area. It’s located at the top of the stem, and there’s a small raised bump to help you locate it, but it still takes some precision to hit it accurately. Getting the T90Q paired is a snap for Android users thanks to Google Fast Pair support . And with Bluetooth Multipoint, you can pair two devices simultaneously, which works seamlessly between phones and computers. Once again, the Tone Free app kicks it up a notch by giving you a device pairing control panel of a sort — it visually represents all of the devices you’ve previously paired to the earbuds and lets you manage those connections just by tapping.
Sound quality “Immersive” is a word that’s on the verge of being overused. But if ever there were a set of wireless earbuds that I can safely say will give you a heightened sense of immersion, it’s the LG Tone Free T90Q. That’s both good, and possibly bad, depending on how you like to listen. Tracks like Edamame by Bbno$ and Blinding Lights by The Weeknd benefit the most from this treatment, but it can also lend an energetic boost to arena rock standards like AC/DC’s Thunderstruck.
Now let’s talk about Dolby Atmos head-tracking. It’s trippy. It works similarly to the version that Apple employs on its AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and Gen-3 AirPods, by treating the direction your head is facing as “forward.” The moment you turn your head, the majority of the sound shifts toward the ear that is now in the forward position, which creates the very effective illusion that the sound you’re hearing is coming from that forward position — not from two tiny speakers inside your ears.
I mentioned it earlier, but it’s worth repeating, for those that care about Bluetooth codecs, the T90Q support SBC, AAC, and aptX Adaptive, for up to 24-bit/96kHz lossy hi-res audio on devices that support it, but for those that don’t , the Tone Free’s clever case is a remarkable workaround. On the transparency side of things, no wireless earbuds have been able to best the AirPods Pro, and that goes for the Tone Free as well, but it’s still more than adequate for letting in the sounds that matter, be it a conversation, or just all of the little cues that keep you safe while negotiating a busy intersection.
