Which is better for running and gym workouts?

The T80, because it carries an IPX4 rating for sweat and splashes. The Tone Free is marketed for sports but lists no water-resistance rating, so the T80 is the safer bet for heavy sweating.

Which has longer battery life?

The T80, at up to 36 hours with the charging case. The Tone Free listing gives no battery figure, so there is nothing to compare it against.

Is the T80 worth the extra money?

There is no listed T80 price to compare with the $207.00 eBay price for the Tone Free. If the T80 comes in near that, its adaptive ANC, IPX4 rating and longer battery make it the better value.

Do both have noise cancelling?

Yes. The Tone Free has active noise cancelling, and the T80 has adaptive noise cancelling that adjusts to your surroundings.

Which works better with an LG TV?

The T80. It is listed as compatible with LG OLED TVs and LG gram laptops, and it supports Dolby Atmos for spatial audio.

Which is better for calls?

Both have a built-in microphone. The T80's adaptive noise cancelling should help more in noisy places, but neither listing gives microphone or call-quality details.

LG Tone Free Wireless Earbuds vs LG TONE Free T80 Dolby Atmos True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds

Both are LG in-ear earbuds with noise cancelling, but they are aimed at different buyers. The T80 is the better all-round pick: adaptive noise cancelling, Dolby Atmos, IPX4 sweat resistance and up to 36 hours with the case. The Tone Free is the sports-focused option at $207.00 at eBay, but its listing gives no battery figure or water-resistance rating, so the T80 is the safer buy unless you find the Tone Free cheaper.
