Product details

  • Bluetooth 5.2: The Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connection allows you to connect to devices up to 32 feet (10 meters) away, while the Low Energy Audio features extend battery life, allowing these earphones to deliver up to 7 hours of playback. The included charging case can store enough energy to fully charge the earphones four times for another 28 hours of playback.
  • Enjoy CD Quality Sound: The Qualcomm QCC3040 Bluetooth chipset includes the Adaptive aptX audio codec, which allows you to stream audio with CD quality sound.
  • Better Bass Response: The carefully tuned 13mm drivers are designed to produce a powerful bass response, without sacrificing midrange and high frequency volume and clarity, to deliver a rich and immersive audio experience.
  • Minimize Outside Noise: The Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation system uses microphones to sample outside noise. It then creates a cancellation signal, which offsets the outside noise, so all you hear is sweet, sweet music.
  • Improved Phone Call Voice Clarity: Having clear conversations is a must, so these earphones feature the Qualcomm cVc 8.0 Echo Cancelling and Noise Suppression system, which uses four microphones to sample outside noises and create cancellation signals. The result is that the person on the other end of your call hears only your voice and not the other voices, road noise, or other ambient noises in your environment.
