Where it shines

  1. High-res music

    Hi-Res Audio over Samsung's SSC codec plays music at up to 24-bit/96 kHz, and the sound is a real standout.

  2. Translation

    Galaxy AI translates conversations live through the earbuds with a Galaxy phone.

  3. Noisy calls

    Six microphones isolate your voice from noisy backgrounds, and a caller still heard you clearly with a siren playing nearby.

Does IP57 water resistant also apply to the charging cases? No, only earbuds are IP57 rated for water resistance.
How long does the battery last?
It runs 30 hours with the case and noise cancelling off. That is 7 hours of listening with noise cancelling off, and 6 hours of listening with noise cancelling on.

How do I clean it?
Step 1. Dip a soft brush into a cup of cleansing water. Step 2. Gently brush each port for about 15 seconds. Caution: Do not clean the device using alcohol, organic solvents (such as acetone), or other chemicals. This may damage the device. More steps on the official page.
