What are earbuds doing in a list of clean gadgets? Sanitising themselves, that’s what. LG’s latest music makers arrive in a case with a UV light that, when plugged in, cleans the speaker mesh of these earbuds for five minutes. LG claims this kills 99.9 per cent of bacteria (though does nothing about ear wax). The FP9 earbuds also offer active noise cancellation and ambient sound mode.
