- LDAC wireless audio and Hi-Res Audio in wired mode are claimed, alongside an app with an 8-band EQ and presets.
- Dual connection is listed for switching between two Bluetooth devices. Transparency mode is intended to let conversations and announcements through.

- A supplied 3.5 mm audio cable offers a wired listening option, while USB-C is listed for charging.

What to know before buying
- Battery figures are manufacturer claims: up to 50 hours in noise-cancelling mode and up to 70 hours in normal mode. Wearing detection must be enabled in the app before first use. The listing calls the headphones wireless and says the jack is None (Wireless), yet explicitly lists a 3.5 mm audio cable and wired Hi-Res Audio. Confirm how wired playback works for the selected listing.
