What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Battery figures are manufacturer claims. The 52-hour total and 11-hour earbud playback claims apply with ANC off. The description specifies IP54 dust and water resistance, but the technical field only says water resistant. The listing also labels 35 dB as sensitivity while separately claiming 35 dB ANC, so that sensitivity figure is unclear.
