What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Battery details vary across listing sections: one states 40 Hours without a mode qualifier, while other claims specify up to 40 hours with ANC on and 60 hours with ANC off, the charging claim is 5 minutes for 4 hours, while the listed charge time is 2 Hours. Treat these as manufacturer claims, not verified results. The title calls ANC hybrid and foldable, while the technical details list ANC but do not otherwise confirm foldability. ANC does not work in AUX mode.

Customer feedback is broadly positive: the supplied summary reports crisp treble, noise cancellation, comfort, battery life, Bluetooth pairing and multipoint as strengths, including use on planes. Fit is mixed, with some finding the headphones sit well and others saying they feel loose. The overall 4.6 out of 5 rating from 79,441 ratings is favourable but does not establish how they will fit or perform for a particular listener, the reported battery praise is consistent with the listing’s long-playtime claims but does not verify them.
Positive themes

Mixed feedback
