What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Battery claims depend on operating mode. The listing gives up to 12 hours per charge and 48 hours with the case with ANC off, 8 and 32 hours with ANC on, and 5 hours with ANC on plus Dolby Audio/LDAC or during calls. The separate 32 Hours battery-life field does not specify its mode. The listed Bluetooth version conflicts with a separate Bluetooth support field stating No, and the 11 Feet driver-size entry is unusual for earbuds. Confirm these listing details if they affect your purchase.

Customer feedback highlights perceived strengths in sound quality, noise cancellation and comfort, including reports of useful noise reduction in gym and running settings. Fit and battery life receive mixed reactions, with some finding the earbuds secure and long-lasting while others report that they fall out or drain sooner than expected. Controls are also criticised as fiddly. For buyers relying on ANC during commuting or calls, the fit matters both for comfort and the ear-tip seal, while the listing's mode-specific battery figures are more informative than a single maximum. Aggregate ratings lean positive overall, but do not resolve these individual trade-offs.

Negative themes
