What to know before buying

The listing calls the earbuds IPX4 water-resistant in its title and feature text, but a separate details field says “Waterproof”. Treat the more specific IPX4 wording as the stated resistance claim, not proof of suitability for immersion. Battery life is listed as 30 hours without an operating-mode breakdown. Customer feedback also includes reports of charging problems and early failures, alongside positive reports of fit and reliability.
