these are algae's first sports earbuds they are called the tone free fits or the tf8qs they do
have a and c now with that anc on you get up to six hours of run time on a single charge and then
18 including the case now if you turn off the anc then you get a very long 10 hours of run time on a
single charge and 30. now they are ip67 waterproof so you don't have to worry about getting them wet
you can even clean them and wash them down with water if you happen to get a bit of sweat on them
or something or dirt it's not going to be an issue they are tuned by meridian we do have with these
a plug-in feature that you can actually run them with older tech so imagine you've got a psp but
it doesn't have bluetooth but you want to use them or you can use the cable that's supplied plug them
in and you're able to use them so a handy little feature there they also do have their uv nano plus
so now it has improved so it's actually just killing the bacteria that are on the tips the
whole silicon tips and also the mesh inside now i did want to make it very clear full disclaimer
that this is a video sponsored by lg so it is just an unboxing and hands-on included in the box
obviously we have the time free fits they've got a type c to usb cable type a type c 2 3.5 millimeter
some swivel grips so they are air hooks you use those we'll try different ones out to get the best
fit for your ears and then we do have some medical grade silicone tips so two smalls two large and
a simple owner's manual these earbuds according to my scales they weigh six grams each and your total
travel weight with the case is 56 grams the case is really nice high quality it's got this texture
to it as you can see feels good in hand and what i do like about it is it doesn't seem to scratch
that easily or pick up fingerprints so there is a magnet that does hold the lid in place and it's
got a nice feeling to it when you open it up and when it closes it won't just flop open and if i do
give it a bit of a shake there is no rattling that is happening at all so we do have two status leds
here the one at the front will tell you the case battery life there is the one there that states
uv nano so that is to do with the uv lights that are inside those lights are not these blue leds
that you currently see it is the one right in there so what it does is it does kill all of
the bacteria when it's charging and it activates it takes 10 minutes all the bacteria that is just
on the tip and then the mesh inside then along the back we have our type-c port those magnets
do keep the earbuds in there really secure and it does feel nice when you place them in and it's
very easy to tell them apart they are labeled left and right on the back so pogo port pin
connector right there for of course charging them so the build quality of the earbuds is very good
the plastic i do like there are no sharp edges so this is interchangeable what they call their
swivel grip which is an air hook there so the idea is that that fits in really snug into your
ear and it's not going to go anywhere when you're running when you're jumping up and down and it
does have the little slots in there the gaps for ventilation a little bit so it's to help keep your
ear a little bit cooler so these silicone tips as mentioned they are medical grade ones and we do
have a little mesh that's in there to cover over that so it doesn't end up getting wax inside or
anything like that so there's a sensor right here that is used for the auto play and pause when you
pull them out or put them back in so it can start there got microphones capacitive touch controls on
the back another microphone there that you can see one at the top and overall the plastics used are
good it seems to be like a painted plastic there and so far using them it hasn't marked or anything
and our application for them so it is called algae tone free the app and you see straight away our
battery life of the fits that turn three fits and then the case has 47 percent there they do have a
guide okay that's how to insert them you just need to swivel them up a little bit to make sure that
they have a solid fit and there's other things like the capacitive touch controls too by the way
so it's good that it's got all this information built into it and it even gives you their guide
on the charging case status led to let you know at first glance what you have remaining with its
battery life you've got equalizer settings for some reason out of the box they put it onto base
boost i guess for the general public so people will like the way they sound that the oh these
are bassy but you do have here some custom presets as well that you can go along and just tweak that
firmware updates there has been one already good to see and we've got our settings here for the anc
and the ambient modes you can do it via the app or you can do it via the touch controls
multi-point and multi-pairing so you can turn this on you can have up to five different devices
using the app that you can connect these up to which is really good another nice little handy
feature to have the autoplay pause and there's quite a few other settings in there as you can
see so it's quite a fully featured app onto our audio now with them so we do have the aac codec
support which most phones will be using with this so iphones ios and then android phones most
of them do support aac if whatever you're using doesn't support it then you fall back to the sbc
codec which is not quite as high quality so if you can do try to use aac so that tune as i mentioned
before is by default set to the bass boost mode now they only have six millimeter drivers within
them but the tune is from meridian and that's british company they've got many many years
in tuning audio experience uh and well i think it's a very good tune that they have gone through
for here with these so the balanced more natural mode preset i do prefer because they haven't gone
a little bit well they haven't obviously bolstered up those lows and it does sound yes as it states
it is more balanced which is quite a good tune but there's a lot of different presets in there
and i think all different genres of music which of course i've been listening to with these they
do sound good considering that these are fit active sports style earbuds the algae tone free
fits of course the tf i think most people will be happy with the way they do sound those lows the
mids vocals highs aren't very detailed that's one area where i would say they lack a little bit how
about streaming content and the latency is there a noticeable big delay well with using this phone
here which is powered by the qualcomm snapdragon 8 gen 1. i don't really see that much of a delay
a split second sometimes with streaming content so stranger things things right here with netflix
it's fine i think it's acceptable for watching content like this however when you game though you
will notice a bit more of a delay with the latency which is normal i've also been out now for a bit
of a jog to test out how these fear the algae tone free fits so they haven't popped out on me once
they do feel secure they fit in there really nice so you can jump up and down like now they're not
going to pop out on me i don't feel like i need to keep pressing them in and just a bit of a run
they are not going anywhere and because they do have an ipx67 waterproof and dust resistant
i don't actually need to worry about them getting sweat on them not an issue at all
here is now an audio sample with the lg tone 3 fits the tf8 cues so they do have some active
noise cancellation going on and the voice quality should be reasonably clear as you can hear i don't
think it's that bad so if you are running along and you have to answer a call with them of course
you are able to do so so it should be removing some of the background noise you can hear from
my tower pc and the air conditioning fan unit that i have up on the wall like most of these bluetooth
earbuds now when you open the case they have already pretty much paired up with your phone so
inserting them in just give them a little bit of twist when you put them in the air hooks
for me the mediums have worked the medium silicon tips with my ears of course everyone's different
so make sure you get a good seal anc the anc on these works really well i cannot hear background
noises like noisy cicadas outside singing away noisy fan towel pc completely blocked out now
one thing to note with the ip67 water resistance that it does have that of course you don't need to
worry about getting them wet you can even wash them down with water after they're all sweaty
now if they do detect they've got a bit of water in them they turn on a very high pitched frequency
just to help get that water out of them completely to really just empty them out from where that
driver is if you do get a little bit in there so it's six millimeter driver tuned by meridian so
i really i like the tune of these i think for sports earbuds they are good so they've
got a lot of features we've got the anc you've got of course the ambient noise mode
we have the uv killing the uv nano there to kill the bugs on the tips and the inside
mesh that's great and the wired mode very handy with the case so you can use it with
older tech so they really do have a lot on offer excellent build quality and if you're not using
the anc all the time maybe you're running and you don't want to block out background noises
then you get up to 10 hours on a single charge so fantastic battery life with these so thank
you so much for watching this video hands on of algae's new tone free fits the tf8q
