It sports UV-C light-emitting diodes in the charging case that will get to work disinfecting the headphones’ surface area while it is charging, and in theory, that ought to eliminate nasty germs. However, it is still primarily a listening device, so what about its performance, capability, and battery life? In order to find out, I reviewed the LG Tone Free FN6 during the recent lockdown.

Why then is this Huawei variant the better option? You will find out more in our review.
