What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: the listed weight is 1.27 Kilograms, while the technical section claims 329G. Microphone information also varies between six total microphones and four microphones for calls. Playback figures differ by ANC mode and codec, so treat 80 hours as an ANC-off AAC claim rather than a universal maximum. The listed 120-minute charge time does not explain how it relates to the rapid-charge claims. Confirm which specifications apply to the selected listing.

Customer feedback highlights sound quality, noise cancellation, fit, customisation, build and battery life as strengths. Weight experiences are mixed, with some finding the headphones light and others finding them heavy. That split matters for extended listening, particularly because the listing itself gives conflicting weight figures. Feedback is favourable overall, but it does not resolve the listing's technical uncertainties.
