What to know before buying

The listing calls the earbuds waterproof in one feature field but gives only “Water Resistant” as the resistance level, without an IP rating. Confirm the protection level if it matters to your use.

Listing details to confirm

Battery life varies by operating mode. The listing gives different totals for normal listening, ANC, calls with ANC and ANC plus LDAC, so the 56-hour figure is not an unconditional runtime. The listing describes Bluetooth connectivity and gives a Bluetooth version, but a separate field says Bluetooth support is “No”. That connectivity detail is contradictory and should be confirmed before buying. The claimed Hi-Res/LDAC support and wireless charging are listing claims, not independently verified here.
