LG Shipping First Earbuds to Use Dolby Head Tracking

LG announced pricing and availability for its latest Tone Free true wireless earbuds, the first to support Dolby Head Tracking, it emailed Thursday. Dolby Head Tracking works with Dolby Atmos to enhance detail and clarity in the listening experience, LG said. The T90Q earbuds ($229) are the first wireless earbuds with a Dolby-designed audio virtualizer that’s said to expand spatial dimensionality for stereo content. The TF8Qs ($199), for active use, have SwivelGrip technology to keep the earbuds in place. The TF8Qs also have active noise-canceling and Meridian Headphone Spatial Processing technology for an improved soundstage, LG said. Both models ship with a UVnano+ charging case, which uses UV-C light to kill 99.9% of bacteria on the earbuds’ eargels in 10 minutes during the powered charging cycle, the company said. The earbuds’ Plug & Wireless feature allows users to connect through the charging case to devices that don't have Bluetooth, it said.
