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 TONE Free HBS-FN7 from LG and the Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro.

Which headphones have the better battery life?

A crucial point for headphones without cables is always the battery life. Here many headphones differ and the capacity grows from year to year. The battery life of the Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro is longer here with 8,0 hours, which is of course better. With a lower battery life of up to 7,0 hours, the LG TONE Free HBS-FN7 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 Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro* offers more power overall. With Case, the headphones have a battery life of up to 32,0 hours. With the LG TONE Free HBS-FN7, the battery life is up to 21,0 hours.

Noise Cancelling: ANC

A big issue and a practical thing is the active noise cancellation. The headphones differ here. Only with the LG TONE Free HBS-FN7 do you get ANC (Active Noise Cancelling). With the Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro you have to do without it.

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. Unlike the LG TONE Free HBS-FN7, the Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro* with 4 pieces per side offers more. The LG TONE Free HBS-FN7 has 3 microphones built in per earbud.

Welche Bluetooth Version ist verbaut?

Are the headphones waterproof?

Both headphones from the comparison have IP certification. However, the degree of protection is different. The LG TONE Free HBS-FN7 is certified with IPX4. With the Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro, you get IPX5 certification. However, an IP certification does not directly mean waterproof. Depending on the certification, the headphones are only water- or sweat-resistant. However, a higher number in the certification is generally better. With Bluetooth headphones there is also the problem that Bluetooth is disturbed by water. Thus, the use when swimming is only possible with special headphones.

Anyone who has taken a closer look at in-ear headphones knows that they don't always seem and are sanitary after wearing.
