Wireless buds with integrated charging case.
Details, details
In the highly competitive wireless bud category, "god is in the details.” Finding the sweet spot between features, price, performance and size that can appeal to a range of users and mobile lifestyles is absolutely critical.
Earbud comfort, sound quality and battery capacity were a carefully considered set of trade-offs. Huge Design worked closely with the LG design team to discover a refined balance in the final design.
Just in case
The LG Tone charge case was designed to be remarkably small, pocketable and usable on the go.
