What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Battery claims vary by use: the 42-hour figure is stated with the case, while individual-bud playback is listed as 10 hours with ANC off and 6 hours with ANC on. Call recording is available only in supported regions, and some app features are described as requiring Nothing X or Pro Transcription. The listing describes the 42-hour case total and mode-specific bud runtimes, but does not specify the listening conditions behind the total. Battery life and fit also receive mixed customer feedback, so treat runtime figures as claims rather than a guarantee for every setup.
