What to know before buying
- The listing calls the headphones waterproof but gives no water-resistance rating or conditions. Do not infer a specific protection level from that wording.
- Bluetooth 5.3 LE Audio is marked as available through a later OTA update. The page does not confirm that this update has been released.
Listing details to confirm
Battery claims differ: the title says up to 65 hours, feature text says up to 65 hours with BT on and ANC off but also says 50 hours of wireless listening, and specifications list 70 hours. Another manufacturer passage says 50 hours with Bluetooth and True Adaptive Noise Cancelling on. Treat runtime as mode-dependent and verify the applicable claim before buying. The listed three-hour charge time also differs from the feature claim of recharging in as little as two hours. The title describes a foldable design, while the technical folding field repeats “On Ear” rather than specifying a folding mechanism. Confirm the design details if foldability is essential.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Listeners looking for on-ear wireless headphones with adaptive noise cancelling and an ambient-hearing option.
- People who want app-based sound preferences and a wired connection option for devices with a 3.5 mm jack.
- Travellers and everyday listeners who prioritize the advertised long battery life, while accepting that the runtime claims vary by mode and listing section.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a clearly verified battery runtime for a particular ANC mode.
- Anyone requiring a stated water-resistance rating or confirmed foldable mechanism.

Customer feedback highlights sound quality, bass, build quality and battery life as strengths, while reports are mixed on comfort, fit, noise cancellation and functionality. That matters for an on-ear design intended for music and travel: the listed ANC and battery claims may suit those uses, but individual comfort and noise-control experiences vary. Aggregate ratings are mostly positive, but do not explain the reasons behind individual ratings.
Positive themes
- Customers praise sound quality and report that the bass is strong.
- Customers report positive experiences with product quality and battery life.
Mixed feedback
- Customer feedback reports mixed experiences with comfort and fit.
- Customer feedback is mixed on noise cancellation and functionality.
