Introducing: LG’s Tone Studio Headphones
A lot of techies thought they wouldn’t like LG’s Tone Studio combination earbud/speakers, but it turns out, even the hard-to-please are excited.
One of the biggest pains about playing music on your phone is getting your music to start playing right when you plug in your headphones. Luckily, automatic play is one of LG’s Tone Studio headphones’ built-in features, along with several other cool features that make their new product worth checking out. The following will answer a few of your most pressing questions about the new headphones.
What’s the deal with having both earbuds and speakers?
Essentially, these are “headphones” that sit around your neck, so as to leave your ears free. The headphones come with four speakers. Two speakers, responsible for high and middle-range notes, are on top of the neckband, while the two bottom speakers are for the bass notes.

It might sound annoying to listen to neck speakers when you’re out in public, and the Tone Studio headphones have a remedy for that: you can pull out the connected earbuds from the neckband and use them like you would other headphones. Still, for those who may have trouble hearing or else find traditional headphones to be uncomfortable, these could be a great option at home for watching movies or listening to music.
Are they easy to use?
All you have to do is connect your headphones to a Bluetooth-enabled device to make the headphones start working. That’s all the setup; there’s nothing left to do. You can also connect the headphones easily to a laptop or other non-Bluetooth-enabled device with a 3.5mm cable and the Tone Studio jack. Using this physical connection also improves the sound quality.
OK, but how about the sound quality?
The sound quality is good, particularly for Bluetooth headphones. For those of you who buy headphones to drown out rackets, these headphones are for you. Some tech aficionados also suggest that the headphones do a fine imitation of surround sound.
Are there any issues with the sound quality?
Bass-lovers might take issue with the limited bass available with these headphones. If a thumping bass is what you’re looking for, you might not want to get personal speakers like these anyway.
How much will a pair of these headphones run me?
The latest version of Tone Studio headphones aren’t available yet, so the price for these headphones is still currently unknown. However, most sources suggest that the headphones will be priced from $220 to $240 when they’re released. LG suggests that they’ll be shipping out the first batch come March of this year.
