## Before you buy

- Call recording is stated to be available only in supported countries or regions, subject to local regulations.
- Battery figures have different stated conditions: 42 hours with the case, and up to 10 hours per bud with ANC off or 6 hours with ANC on. Treat these as separate manufacturer claims, not one unconditional runtime.
- The listed sensitivity is 45 dB, while the title and feature copy describe ANC of up to 45 dB. These details do not establish that the sensitivity field measures ANC performance. The 42-hour case figure and mode-specific per-bud figures also have different conditions. Check the selected listing for the intended claim.
