neither did the recipients.
The battery is stated to last for 25
hours with ANC enabled and around
32 hours with it disabled, but in my

The headset includes easy-to-
find and satisfyingly clicky buttons
alongside the lower parts of the
headphones. On the left side is a
power button that triggers a pleasing

on and a small status indicator LED
next to it signalling the various power
states. Above that is the NC/Ambient
