With noise canceling on, Sony rates them at up to 8.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 30 hours with the case. With it off, up to 12 hours on the earbuds and 40 hours with the case.
Do they charge quickly?
Yes. Sony says 5 minutes of charging gives about 1 hour of music. A full charge of the earbuds and case takes about 3.5 hours.
Do they have noise canceling?
Yes. Each earbud uses two microphones to pick up outside noise, and Ambient Sound Mode lets you hear what is around you when you need to.

No. The earbuds are rated IPX4, so they handle splashes and sweat, but they cannot be used in water. The charging case is not water resistant.

How do the controls work?

Can I use Siri or Google Assistant?
Yes. Hold your finger on the right earbud for about 2 seconds to start Siri on an iPhone or the Google app on Android. Saying "Hey Siri" or "Hey Google" does not wake them.
