Where are the differences?

There are a few differences between the two True-Wireless Headphones. Let's take a closer look at the points in comparison between the Elite Sport from Jabra and the LG TONE Free HBS-FN4.

The battery life of the LG TONE Free HBS-FN4 is longer here with 6,0 hours, which is of course better. With a lower battery life of up to 4,5 hours, the Jabra Elite Sport scores worse at this point. Depending on the settings, the battery life turns out significantly lower. The specifications always refer to the ideal case.

For true-wireless headphones, an additional battery in the case has become popular. This way the headphones gain more battery life and can be conveniently charged on the go. Here the LG TONE Free HBS-FN4* offers more power overall. With Case, the headphones have a battery life of up to 18,0 hours. With the Jabra Elite Sport, the battery life is up to 13,5 hours.

Wie werden die Kopfhörer geladen?

How many microphones are there?

Let's move on to the topic of microphones, which also have an impact on voice quality and noise cancellation. Most headphones no longer relied on just one microphone, but several. The Jabra Elite Sport* here offers 4 pieces per side more than the LG TONE Free HBS-FN4 with 2 microphones per earbud.
