Overview
- The C‑shaped earbuds clip around the ear instead of sealing the canal, ship in four colors, and are on sale now in the U.S. and Canada.
- Battery life is rated at up to nine hours per charge and 37 hours with the case, with a three‑minute quick top‑up yielding about an hour of listening.
- Three listening modes include Standard, Voice/Voice Boost, and Sound Leakage Reduction, the last of which curbs what others hear though reviewers note some loss in fidelity.
- Call pickup uses a bone‑conduction sensor plus AI noise reduction, and early hands‑on reports highlight clear voice performance in noisy settings.
- Connectivity includes Bluetooth multipoint with SBC/AAC support, IPX4 resistance, and Sony Sound Connect app features like a 10‑band EQ and DSEE, while omissions include LC3, Auracast, and wireless charging alongside occasionally finicky touch controls.
