The technical details also list 7 Hours as average battery life and 1 Hours charging time. Water protection is described both as “Water Resistant” in details and IPX4 in feature copy.

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a smaller one-star share means the overall picture is not uniformly positive. Ratings alone do not explain why people scored the earbuds as they did. Consider whether the open-ear fit, standard playback time and shorter Immersive Audio runtime suit your needs.
