Leave a comment

LG Electronics (Singapore) announced the launch of 2022 TONE Free™ series lineup (models T90, T60 and TF8). This new series features the latest technology and a host of brand-new features that deliver incredible sound with a comfortable fit. The TONE Free true wireless earbuds elevate the user’s on-the-go lifestyle – a perfect example of LG’s commitment to consistently provide innovative products and solutions for a better life and living.

LG TONE Free T90: The Flagship Model

The headliner for the LG 2002 TONE Free™ series, the LG TONE Free T90 comes with significant upgrades that bring music to the ears. The T90s are designed to offer enhanced audio quality, engineered with a new internal structure with larger drivers and crafted with graphene.

This combination provides dynamic yet balanced and crisp sound while reducing vibrations. The T90 earbuds also feature Meridian Headphone Spatial Processing from LG’s long-standing partner Meridian Audio, delivering a full and more natural soundstage for an immersive listening experience. They are equipped with Meridian’s Perfect Balance technology, enabling the T90s earbuds to maintain a consistent tonal balance at any volume and surround users with a pleasant and soothing sound.

In addition to these upgrades, LG’s TONE Free T90 earbuds are also the world’s first Dolby Atmos wireless earbuds with Dolby Head Tracking™ across all devices and content such as music, movies and video games. Living up to its name, Dolby Head Tracking™ re-calibrates the sound as users move their heads to envelope them in a more natural sound experience, allowing them to feel like they are in the centre of the scene. This technology allows sound to move along with the user, improving how one can experience and enjoy entertainment. The T90s are also the first wireless earbuds to come with Dolby’s audio virtualiser, this is designed explicitly for earbuds to expand spatial dimensionality for stereo-like performance.

There is also the newly-added Snapdragon Sound Technology Suite offering a stellar listening experience previously only available on wired headphones. Along with its 24-bit/96kHz high resolution audio, these Snapdragon Sound earbuds provide robust connectivity, low latency and crisp voice quality. These make it an ideal solution for making calling calls and for gamers who rely on clear voice communication during intense battles.

The premium flagship T90s also feature an upgraded Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) – the Double Step ANC Algorithm eradicates unpleasant feedback by cancelling external noises more effectively by utilising a new filter with a higher sampling rate and an advanced howling detection algorithm respectively. The Real-Time ANC Optimiser calibrates the position of the earbuds via the internal microphones when it is placed inside the ear and automatically adjusts to provide optimal ANC performance.

There is the Voice Pickup Unit, providing the LG TONE Free T90 with an improved voice calling experience. They detect and reduce the ambient noise to minimal levels when the user speaks for a clear voice calling experience.

Packed with a substantial battery capacity, the LG TONE Free T90 earbuds can deliver up to 9 hours of playtime on the earbuds with a single charge, and up to 29 hours with the charging case.

LG TONE Free Fit: The Audio Companion for Active Lifestyles

Designed for the active lifestyle users, the LG TONE Free Fit TF8 is the secure yet comfortable fit earbuds for you. They are suitable for all activities ranging from running and mountain biking, to training at the gym. The built-in SwivelGrip technology helps keep the earbuds fit snugly in the ear regardless of the intensity of the activity. Concurrently, this lightweight design promotes better air circulation.

The LG TONE Free TF8 are IP67 rated for resistance to many types of splashes, such as rain, sweat and dust, making the perfect earbuds to wear when participating in a vigorous workout session. The earbuds also come with ANC, clear spatial sound with Meridian HSP technology and are fitted with hypoallergenic ear gels. The LG TONE Free TF8s have a comparable battery life of 10 hours with up to 30 hours when used with the UVnano charging case. They are also equipped with Plug & Play Wireless feature for convenience on the treadmill.

Features available on LG TONE Free T-series

The LG’s 2022 TONE Free models also boast a comfortable design while boosting audio performance design while boosting audio performance. In collaboration with South Korea’s POSTECH Ergonomic Design Technology Lab, the T-series earbuds were created with ergonomic precision, an optimised shape that feels better in the ear.

This means that users can enjoy a more ergonomic fit that boasts comfort throughout extended usage. The TONE Free’s Performance Fit sets the earbuds in the correct position for the optimal sound experience.

For greater connectivity and compatibility, the TONE Free earbuds offer exceptional convenience through its Plug & Wireless feature. Using its charging case as a Bluetooth transmitter, users can plug the case into any compatible device with the included USB-C to AUX cable, such as a treadmill, radio or in-flight entertainment system to enjoy complete wireless freedom. The voice chat function is new to the Plug & Wireless feature, which makes it great for conference calls and chatting with friends in-game.

LG’s new TONE Free models also retains its special auto-cleaning charging case with a few enhancements. The UVnano6 charging case, which uses ultraviolet light to help clean the earbuds, will now provide even greater coverage for thorough sterilisation of all parts of the ear gels. The medical-grade, hypoallergenic ear gels continue to help reduce the risk of skin irritation in the ear canal.

Jabra Elite 75t review

1 Comment

The Jabra Elite 75t was announced earlier in January 2020, their fourth generation true wireless earbuds. I saw it at the media event held in Singapore and I was impressed with its form factor and design, lightweight and improved audio experience.  Having previously reviewed Jabra Elite Active 65t, I have knowledge and experience of the Jabra audio quality standards. When the opportunity came up to do the Jabra Elite 75t review, I took it up since it’s a good continuation from where I left off with the Jabra Elite Active 65t.

Now let me bring you through my Jabra Elite 75t review experiences, thoughts and views. 

Aesthetics

When I first saw the Jabra Elite 75t in January, the size of the earbuds and charging case caught my attention. It’s smaller and lighter in weight as compared to the Jabra Elite Active 65t that I had previous experience using. The ergonomic shape design makes it look sleek, contoured nicely for the ears.

During my review, the Jabra Elite 75t feels secure and fits very nicely into my ears (although I do need the largest silicon ear gel as my left ear lobe doesn’t fit in as well as compared to my right ear). Using it for communication, meetings, walks and runs, the lightweight and small form factor is a great plus point.

The Jabra Elite 75t earbuds is IP55 rated protection from dust and water, it comes with a 2-year warranty against dust and water damage.

Audio/Sound

The audio/sound segment, whether you are looking at the Jabra Elite 75t from a work/communications perspective, leisure use or both, the audio quality is a key factor, might be the main and first aspect of the Jabra Elite 75t that users look into first.

Bass – The bass has improved, it’s stronger and you can feel the boom. Listening to rock music with the Jabra Elite 75t is nice and feels good!

Mid Range – It’s clear, detailed and natural, without being too overwhelming bright or underwhelming dull.

Treble – Another improvement from my experience with the Jabra Elite Active 65t, it makes listening to music with the Jabra Elite 75t a fun, enjoyable and all round experience. Although when I push the volume button up too high, the pitch gets a bit too high and sharp for my ears.

Overall, the audio quality of the Jabra Elite 75t is good, the improvements are significant from the earlier model Elite 65t series. There are times whereby you can hear and feel the 3D surround sound effects when listening to music on the Jabra Elite 75t.

Conferencing/Meetings with Zoom / Teams

For working professionals who now have to use more of technology and apps such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, no thanks to the Covid-19 situation with many of us having to work from home. Being true wireless, without any wires attached to your laptop, tablet or smartphone, it makes your video conferencing or meetings less of a hassle, along with clear and sharp communication when you are using the Jabra Elite 75t.

Phone chat

Clear and sharp, thanks to the 4 microphone call technology inside the Jabra Elite 75t. The design, lightweight and secure features make it comfortable for lengthy phone chats.

Technology

Bluetooth Connection

Bluetooth pairing is very fast and can connect to 2 devices at one time and you can pair up to 8 devices.

Jabra Sound+ App

Having previously reviewed the Jabra Elite Active 65t, I am familiar with the Jabra Sound+ App, its capabilities and functions. You can choose from three modes, My Moment / Commute / Focus. Commute would be ideal when you are on the move, riding on public transport, while Focus would be ideal for yourself at work or when you need some quiet time. There is also the battery life indicator  on the top right corner of the app that keeps track of your earbuds battery levels.

This is also the place whereby you can control the other technological functions and capabilities of the Jabra Elite Active 65t, the Voice Assistant whereby you can have instant access to your voice assistant (from Amazon Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant) direct to your earbuds.

The ability to personalise and customise my audio settings is something that I like a lot. You can control the other technological functions and capabilities of the Jabra Elite 75t, the Voice Assistant whereby you can have instant access to your voice assistant (from Amazon Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant) direct to your earbuds.

For the music lovers/audiophiles, there are six music presets that you can choose from the following:

Neutral, Bass boost, Smooth, Speech, Treble boost and Energise

With these six music presets, you can choose to use their presets or customise your audio listening experience further to suit your listening preferences. For the audiophiles, this would suit you nicely. 

On my iPad Air 3, the Jabra Sound+ App looks nice on a big screen, you can rotate into landscape mode too!

HearThrough

HearThrough is one of the technological capabilities built inside the Jabra Elite 75t. On the Jabra Sounds+ App, you can control and filter the level of sounds that surrounds you, just by switching between On / Off. When you switch it on, you can select how much of the outside world that you would like to let in, just by adjusting the slider.

There are times whereby we would love listening to music without any external sound distraction, there also times whereby we would also need to be aware of our surroundings e.g. listening to music on the move and we need to be aware of our surroundings.

Jabra’s passive noise cancellation is pretty impressive, it isolates the outside noise, giving you a wonderful audio experience, in a musical/working world of your own, at the comfort of your home or own office space.

It’s a great feature, just a word of caution, to switch on HearThrough when you go out for sports/exercises such as running or when you are commuting from place to place whereby you do need to be safe and aware of the surroundings.

Thoughts and views

Lightweight, fitting  and comfortable for the ears. The audio quality is good, great for communication at work or leisure, sharp and clear. For listening to music, it has improved from the Jabra Elite 65t that I previously reviewed, stronger bass and improved treble/highs.

The Jabra Elite 75t is lighter and smaller as compared to previous generation Jabra Elite Active 65t, charging case is smaller and lighter in weight too.

The Jabra Elite 75t is a worthy consideration for a working/business in-ear true wireless earbuds and just as suitable for leisure music listening. A pair of well designed and tested earphones that looks nice on you too.

I would like to thank Jabra Singapore and GLOO PR for the opportunity to review the Jabra Elite 75t in-ear true wireless earbuds.

Jabra Elite 75t

5 Comments

Jabra, a world leader in personal sound as well as office solutions, recently announced their fourth generation true wireless earbuds – Jabra Elite 75t. At the media event held in Singapore, we had the opportunity to learn, know and have a close up view, feel and touch on the Jabra Elite 75t.

I personally have reviewed the Jabra Elite Active 65t in 2019, therefore I have experienced and have some knowledge, capabilities and features of the Jabra Elite series earbuds. Jabra sound quality and clarity is never a doubt, along with their technology and connectivity built inside their earbuds. When I saw the Jabra Elite 75t, it is smaller and lighter, for both the earbuds and charging case! That’s a significant improvement and the Elite 75t looks more sleek and aesthetically better looking.

Xuanling Lu, Jabra’s Regional Product Marketing Manager for Asia Pacific, said, “We are excited to introduce the most comfortable and long-lasting addition to our award-winning Elite range of true wireless earbuds in Singapore. The Elite 75t is a result of our dedication in listening and catering to changing customer needs for an elevated and truly wireless earbud experience. On top of delivering premium sound, the Elite 75t delivers smaller, better fitting earbuds with longer battery life.”

Inside this Elite 75t, this pair of earbuds leverages on technology from their sister company GN Hearing to reduce power consumption while able to maintain strong device connectivity. One key feature of the Elite 75t that would attract the attention of earbuds owners would be their design, specifically designed to provide enhanced comfort through their optimal earbud shape and size. They are ideal even for smaller ears, their ergonomic shape makes them comfortable, fitting without worry of dropping out in the activities that the user may be engaged in.

Understanding key user needs and delivering them

We human beings are all unique and different, our ears are no exception. Jabra developed a comfort and fit simulation model based on thousands of ear scans from global users to determine the most optimal 3D shape and size, that fits into our ears comfortably across different groups of users. Along with this simulation model, more data were also collected on users insights, needs and preferences on what constitutes a true wireless experience for wireless earbuds users.

Earbuds users demand more battery life, better fit and ease of connectivity. Through the Elite 75t, it offers up to 28 hours of battery life with the charging case and 7.5 hours without. For those in a rush, the fast charging feature which offers 1 hour of playback time from 15 minutes of charging would definitely be appreciated and most welcomed.

Meticulous engineering ensures that the new compact size continues to deliver the fundamentals users expect from Jabra, namely – robust connectivity, durability, ease of use and a superior calls and music experience. Making and taking calls is a great experience with the 4-microphone call technology, enhanced with Jabra’s latest noise and wind reducing algorithms. This feature gives users the confidence to take calls even in busy environments like the street or train. Jabra has enhanced the ease of use of the charging case by ensuring easy access and adding magnets.

For earbuds users who wants to have more control and customisation of their music profile, there is the Jabra Sound+ app, this would allow users to choose their voice assistant, customise their music profile with the equaliser, modify how much nearby noise they want to hear (HearThrough), adjust their calls experience, keep track of battery charge, and much more.

Key features and specifications:

• New compact earbud shape tested for comfort and secure fit

• More than 7.5 hours battery life, up to 28 hours with the charging case

• 4-microphone technology for crystal clear calls even in noisy and windy environments

Jabra Elite Active 65t Review

2 Comments

The Jabra Elite Active 65t is one of the products in the wide and diverse range of Jabra’s lineup of headsets for both office and leisure. I reviewed the Jabra Elite 85h previously, continuing on to take on Jabra earbuds review and I got the opportunity to do the Jabra Elite Active 65t review.  

 

Aesthetics

This pair of true wireless earbuds are lightweight, with a good secure fit that makes it snug and secure into your ears with its in-ear form factor, that allows you to enjoy active daily lifestyle whether at work, commuting or doing sports. It is sweat and dust resistant with its IP56 rating and comes with a two year warranty against damage from sweat and dust.

They are available in Copper Blue, Titanium Black and Copper Red colours, a good mix to choose from for the lifestyle/sporty folks and working professionals.

Audio/Sound

The Jabra Elite Active 65t audio quality is good, it’s clear and crisp, making it good for taking calls on your earbuds. On the bass, it’s decent, not strong/powerful in my personal view. As for the mid range, it’s clear, detailed and natural, without being too overwhelming bright or underwhelming dull. On the treble, it’s a bit lacking in this area, I would need to push the volume up to get the loudness/highs.

However, you are able to customise and personalise the sound on the Jabra Elite Active 65t to meet your needs and expectations.

Technology

The Jabra Elite Active 65t has some nice technology built inside them. When you take the earbuds out from the charging case, it automatically turns on and when one of the earbuds is taken out from the ear, it automatically pause.

They can connect to 2 devices at a time, bluetooth pairing up to 8 devices, running on Bluetooth 5.0 and up to 10 metres operating wireless range. There is also the accelerometer that can track your fitness and performance with an integrated motion sensor.

Jabra Sound+ App

The Jabra Sound+ App is available for you to customise and personalise your sound to meet your audio expectations. Personally, I like earbuds and headphones that allows me to personalise and customise my sound through an app. This is also the place whereby you can control the other technological functions and capabilities of the Jabra Elite Active 65t, the Voice Assistant whereby you can have instant access to your voice assistant (from Amazon Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant) direct to your earbuds.

HearThrough

HearThrough is one of the technological capabilities built inside the Jabra Elite Active 65t. On the Jabra Sounds+ App, you can control and filter the level of sounds that surrounds you. There are times whereby we would love listening to music without any external sound distraction, there also times whereby we would also need to be aware of our surroundings e.g. listening to music on the move and we need to be aware of our surroundings. The HearThrough is the function that does this for you.

Thoughts and views

The Jabra Elite Active 65t is true wireless earbuds, ideal for people with an active and sporting lifestyle, for both daily work and leisure, taking calls, doing sports or listening to music while on the move.

Battery life is up to 5 hours from a single charge, with another 10 hours extra from the charging case. Depending on your usage, it might be enough battery juice for you or might not be enough for your usage.

As for the sound quality, while it would suit most people in the market. The Jabra Elite Active 65t would be suitable for those busy working professionals that needs to communicate while on the move with their clear voice quality and connectivity, they are also ideal for those who have an active sports lifestyle and the everyday user on the move or at home.

I would like to thank Jabra (Singapore) and GLOO PR for the opportunity to review the Jabra Elite Active 65t
