How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a lightweight around-the-neck headset built for long calls and all-day wear, choose LG 60590305XP; if you need active noise cancellation and modern high-resolution Bluetooth codecs, choose EarFun S1. These two could hardly be more different, and that's exactly why the comparison is useful: one is a classic Bluetooth stereo headset, the other is a codec-forward wireless earbud set with an unusual kids-headphone sibling in the same listing.
• LG 60590305XP — biggest strength: marathon talk time of up to 16 hours and a collar-style design that keeps the earpieces off your ears when you're not on a call.
• LG 60590305XP — biggest trade-off: Bluetooth 4.1 with basic aptX, no active noise cancellation, and a micro USB charging cable rather than anything modern.
• EarFun S1 — biggest strength: adaptive hybrid active noise cancellation rated up to 50dB plus Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound with aptX Lossless, LDAC, LE Audio and LC3 support.
• EarFun S1 — biggest trade-off: a confusing, split personality listing that bundles a wired 85dB kids headphone with ANC wireless earbuds, so you have to know which part you're actually buying.
• Pick LG 60590305XP if you live on calls and want something that hangs around your neck instead of sitting in your ears.
• Pick EarFun S1 if you want noise cancellation and the best possible wireless audio codecs for music and calls.
The LG 60590305XP is the HBS-760 Tone Pro, an around-the-neck Bluetooth stereo headset in black. The design story here is comfort and access: the collar sits on your shoulders, the earpieces retract when you're not using them, and the controls are laid out for muscle memory. Call and play/pause sit on top of the headset as chrome buttons, while the jog buttons replace traditional volume up/down and fast forward/rewind with fluid volume and music controls. If you've ever fumbled for a tiny earbud button mid-call, that layout makes immediate sense.
Who should buy it? Anyone whose day is calls — sales, support, remote meetings, driving-adjacent work — and who wants an earpiece that's always on their person rather than in a case. Who should skip it? If you want active noise cancellation, a modern codec stack, or true wireless freedom, this isn't that product. It offers sound isolation, not ANC, and its Bluetooth generation is a generation or two behind what dedicated audio brands ship now.
EarFun S1: Who It's For
Here's the catch you need to understand before buying: the EarFun S1 listing is a mash-up. The title describes EarFun S1 kids headphones — foldable wired headphones with an 85dB volume limit — and then describes EarFun Air Pro 4 adaptive hybrid noise canceling wireless earbuds with Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound and aptX Lossless. The product data confirms the split personality: the noise control field says active noise cancellation, the additional features say noise cancellation, and the headphone folding feature field says "In Ear." The age range is listed as adult. In practice, the audio story is the Air Pro 4 side, and the safety story is the kids-headphone side, and you should be clear with yourself about which one you're after.
Assuming you're here for the ANC earbuds, the feature set is genuinely current. Adaptive hybrid active noise cancellation is rated up to 50dB, powered by QuietSmart 3.0, and it automatically detects your ear canal shape to tune cancellation. The Qualcomm QCC3091 SoC brings Snapdragon Sound certification, aptX Lossless, Hi-Res Audio, plus LDAC, LE Audio and LC3 codec support. Six microphones with AI algorithms and Qualcomm cVc 8.0 handle voice pickup for calls. The cable features field says "without cable," consistent with true wireless earbuds.
Who should buy it? Someone who wants real noise cancellation on a commute or in an office, cares about high-fidelity Bluetooth codecs, and takes a lot of calls in noisy places. Who should skip it? Anyone who needs the simplicity of a single, unambiguous product listing — or who actually wants the kids headphones, in which case the 85dB volume limit and wired, foldable design are the point, and the ANC earbud specs are irrelevant to you.
• Best for talk time → LG 60590305XP. Up to 16 hours of talk time versus no talk-time figure at all on the EarFun data sheet.
• Best for music stamina → LG 60590305XP. Up to 10.5 hours of playback, plus up to 23 days of standby.
• Best for noise cancellation → EarFun S1. Adaptive hybrid ANC rated up to 50dB, which the LG simply doesn't offer — it only isolates sound passively.
• Best for audio codecs → EarFun S1. aptX Lossless, LDAC, LE Audio and LC3 versus LG's older aptX-compatible Bluetooth 4.1.
• Best for call clarity in loud places → EarFun S1. Six microphones, AI algorithms and Qualcomm cVc 8.0 are built specifically to strip background noise from your voice.
• Best for hands-free, all-day wear → LG 60590305XP. The around-the-neck collar with retractable earpieces and top-mounted chrome controls is designed to stay on you.
• Best for a child → EarFun S1's kids-headphone half. The 85dB volume limit is the whole reason that part of the listing exists.
• Best for simplicity → LG 60590305XP. One product, one clear purpose, one set of accessories in the box.
In my opinion, the EarFun S1 is the better pick for most people reading an article about aptX HD earbuds — because the codec support, ANC and microphone array are exactly what "modern wireless audio" means right now, and the LG can't match any of it. But I'd only say that if you're shopping the ANC earbud side of the listing. If your priority is talking on the phone for hours with something that never needs to go back in a case, I'd take the LG 60590305XP without hesitation. Buy for the job you actually do, and check the current price on Amazon before you commit, since that's the one variable I can't weigh for you.
which earbuds support aptx hd
Neither of these lists aptX HD specifically. The LG 60590305XP is listed as aptX compatible over Bluetooth 4.1. The EarFun S1 goes further with Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound, aptX Lossless, LDAC, LE Audio and LC3 — a newer, higher-resolution codec set than aptX HD.
No. The LG 60590305XP lists sound isolation as its noise control method, not active noise cancellation. The EarFun S1, by contrast, specifies adaptive hybrid active noise cancellation rated up to 50dB via QuietSmart 3.0.
Up to 16 hours of talk time and up to 10.5 hours of music playback, with up to 23 days of standby and under two hours to charge, according to its spec sheet. The EarFun S1 data sheet doesn't list battery figures.
The kids-headphone portion of the listing is designed around an 85dB volume limit to protect children's hearing, and it's a wired, foldable design. Note that the same listing also covers the Air Pro 4 ANC wireless earbuds, which are listed with an adult age range.
