If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.

My short take
SoundGuys measured 5 hours 34 minutes with ANC on, short next to the Sony WF-1000XM6 at 8 hours. Each bud is 7.1 g with an IPX4 rating, and the codec list includes aptX Adaptive.
