What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing's maximum battery figure depends on operating mode, and other playback claims conflict. Do not treat 135 hours as an unconditional ANC-on estimate. Listing details are contradictory or unconfirmed: Bluetooth is given as both 5.4 and 5.3, while the 135-hour headline and other mode-specific playback figures disagree, including ANC-on estimates of 75 and 62 hours. Confirm the selected listing's revision and applicable battery figures before buying.
