What to know before buying
- Battery claims are mode-specific: 49 hours with ANC and up to 88 hours without ANC. The listing also states 49 Hours as battery life, so confirm the applicable mode if runtime is decisive.
- The listing describes USB-C as the headphone jack and wired connection, but does not clearly establish whether it carries audio or is charging-only. Check wired playback requirements before buying.
- A Waterproof rating is listed without an ingress rating or usage conditions. Do not assume a particular level of water protection from this description alone. The stated Bluetooth 6.1 and -49dB ANC are manufacturer claims, not independent measurements.
Listing details to confirm
The technical listing states a 40 KHz frequency response while also giving a 20Hz - 20,000Hz frequency range. It lists sensitivity as 30 Ohm, which is a unit inconsistent with the impedance-style label. These audio details are contradictory or unclear in the listing, not confirmed defects.

Less suited to

Customer feedback highlights sound quality, noise cancellation, build quality and battery life, with some customers describing the sound as clear rather than boomy and the cancellation as immersive without being distracting. These reports align with the listing's over-ear ANC design and long, mode-dependent battery claims, but do not establish measured performance. Functionality feedback is mixed, so buyers relying on particular controls or connection modes should account for that uncertainty.
Positive themes
- Customer feedback is favourable about sound quality and build quality.
- Customers report appreciating the noise cancellation and battery life.
Mixed feedback
- Feedback on functionality is mixed.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the battery last?
The listing gives 49 hours as battery life and separately claims up to 88 hours without ANC and 49 hours with ANC. Treat these as mode-specific manufacturer claims.
Can these headphones be used with a cable?
USB-C is listed as the headphone jack, and the feature text claims wired connections, but the listing does not clearly confirm USB-C audio playback. Check this if wired listening is essential.
Do they support multipoint?
The feature description claims simultaneous pairing with two devices for switching between calls and media.
Are they waterproof?
The details list the water-resistance level as Waterproof, but no rating or conditions are provided. The listing does not establish what exposure is supported.
