Features

• Truly wireless in-ear headphones with digital hybrid noise-cancelling technology
• Ambience control (noise-cancelling and hear-through) can be employed for music playback and calls
• Use the touch sensor to choose from five preset noise-cancelling modes or optimized noise cancelling that adapts to your current environment
• Hear-through function allows you to hear ambient sounds (plus your own, unmuffled voice) so you can talk to others around you without removing your earbuds
• Newly designed 5.8 mm high-resolution drivers deliver an extended high-frequency range and improved sound detail
• Compatible with Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound, Qualcomm aptX Adaptive audio, and Sony’s 360 Reality Audio to deliver an advanced listening experience
• Eartips feature a hybrid structure of hard and soft silicone for best fit and sound performance, and come in three different lengths for each size (XS/S/M/L)
• Dual high-performance MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) mics, beamforming technology, and Qualcomm cVc Generation 8.0 technology ensure crystal-clear call quality
• Sidetone circuitry improves conversations by letting you hear your voice in the headphones when making calls on most smartphones
• Qualcomm TrueWireless Mirroring enables independent transmission to the left and right earbuds, reducing sound interruptions and delays for videos
• Multipoint pairing function allows you to stay connected to two Bluetooth devices at once
• Approximately 6 hours of continuous playback with up to 18.5 hours of extended use
• Charging case’s deep-UV LED sterilization system (with unique mirror processing) eliminates bacteria and viruses from the surface of the headphones**
• A-T Connect app gives you additional control: activate low latency mode, personalize noise-cancelling system, adjust and save EQ to the headphones, change L/R volume balance, select desired voice assistant (such as Amazon Alexa Built-in or Google Assistant), change codecs, and more
• Rain and water splashproof design (IPX4*-equivalent)
• Flexible dual- or single-ear usability
• Includes 30 cm (1.0') USB-A/USB-C charging cable

* IPX4 equivalent means that there is no harmful effect even if water is splashed from all directions. It cannot be used in hot and humid places such as baths. It is not completely waterproof.

** The system is more than 99% effective against E. coli and bacteriophage viruses, and more than 90% effective against Staphylococcus aureus, but it is not effective against all bacteria and viruses. The effectiveness against the novel coronavirus has not been verified.
