Its charging case doubles as a Super Mic that filters up to 95 dB of background noise, while the 12mm ceramic driver and 45 dB hybrid ANC deliver clear, immersive audio. A 10-minute charge provides 10 hours of playback, and LDAC Hi-Res streaming plus a low-lag gaming mode serve both audiophiles and players. These earbuds are ideal for commuters and mobile gamers who need reliable voice calls in the loudest environments.
