What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Battery life is mode-dependent. The listing claims 40 hours with ANC on and 60 hours in normal mode. It also mentions a five-minute charge providing four extra hours, while the technical details give a five-minute battery charge time without specifying the same playback result. Treat these as listing claims, not independently verified runtime.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Commuters and travellers seeking over-ear headphones with ANC and a transparency mode.
- People who switch between a laptop and phone and want the stated dual-device connection.
- Listeners who want app EQ adjustment as well as a wired AUX option.
Less suited to
- Anyone needing water-resistant headphones for exercise or wet weather.
- Buyers who require the longest stated runtime while keeping ANC enabled, as the listing gives a lower figure for ANC use than normal mode.
