Release year20242022
TypeTrue wireless stereo in-ear earbuds; ear-canal fit with ear fins

The box includes four sets of ear tips (XS/S/M/L) and three sets of ear fins (S/M/L).

Sennheiser		Around-ear, closed-back, wireless; active noise cancelling

The ear pads fully surround the ear; Sennheiser cites a lightweight design, padded headband and deep cushioned earpads for long-wear comfort.

Sennheiser
DriverTrueResponse dynamic, 7 mm; 5 Hz–21 kHz; 107 dB SPL (1 kHz / 1 mW)

According to Sennheiser, audio resolution up to 24-bit/96 kHz is supported with a compatible source.

Sennheiser		—
Noise cancellationHybrid ANC, adaptive to surroundings; Transparency Mode

Adaptive mode sets the cancellation level automatically for the surrounding noise; Transparency Mode lets outside sound in without removing the earbuds.

Sennheiser		—
Bluetooth and codecsBluetooth 5.4 (Classic and LE Audio); SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX Adaptive/Lossless, LC3; A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, TMAP, PBP

aptX Lossless needs a Snapdragon Sound phone that supports it; an iPhone uses AAC. According to Sennheiser, Auracast broadcast listening only arrives through a firmware update. Multipoint lets it switch between two devices.

Sennheiser		Bluetooth 5.2, Class 1; A2DP, AVRCP, HFP; SBC, AAC, aptX and aptX Adaptive

aptX Adaptive works only with Android phones that support it; iPhones use AAC. Multipoint connections are managed in the app.

Microphones3 MEMS microphones per earbud (6 in total), beamforming noise reduction; 100 Hz–10 kHz Sennheiser—
BatteryUp to 7.5 hours per charge (ANC off) / up to 7 hours (ANC on); up to 30 hours total with the case; lithium-ion, 75 mAh per earbud, 820 mAh case

Times were measured with an iPhone at medium volume (85 dB). According to Sennheiser, 8 minutes of charging gives about 1 hour of playback; the battery protect mode in the app slows charging and slightly lowers maximum capacity to extend battery lifespan.

Sennheiser		—
ChargingUSB-C socket on the case (5 V, 1,000 mA max) and Qi wireless charging

A USB-C cable is in the box; there is no adapter.

Sennheiser		—
DurabilityIP54 dust and splash resistance (earbuds only)

The charging case is not covered by the IP rating.

Weight and sizeSingle earbud 6.2 g; case 66.4 g; total 72.4 g; 70.1 × 44.6 × 34.8 mm with the case Sennheiser—
AppSennheiser Smart Control for iOS and Android: 5-band EQ, Sound Personalization, Sound Zones, touch control settings

Sound Personalization was developed with Fraunhofer IDMT and builds a sound profile from the user’s reactions to sample sounds.

Sennheiser		—
Operating conditionsOperating 0 to +40 °C; charging 5 to 35 °C Sennheiser—
Driver and frequency response—42 mm dynamic driver; 6 Hz–22 kHz; 106 dB SPL (1 kHz / 0 dB FS)

The frequency range describes measurement limits; the sound you hear is also shaped by the in-app equaliser and sound personalisation.

Sennheiser
Impedance—Active 470 Ω, passive 60 Ω Sennheiser
Noise cancelling and microphones—Adaptive hybrid ANC; 4 microphones in total (2 per side, MEMS, beamforming; 50 Hz–10 kHz); anti-wind mode; transparency mode

Hybrid ANC uses both outer and inner microphones; adaptive mode changes the level of cancellation to match ambient noise.

Sennheiser
Battery and charging—700 mAh lithium-ion; up to 60 hours with noise cancelling on; full charge in about 2 hours; up to 4 hours from 5 minutes of charging; USB-C 5 V 800 mA

Sennheiser says the 60 hours was measured with an iPhone at medium volume; higher volume and aptX Adaptive can shorten it.

Sennheiser
Wired use—Hi-res digital audio over USB-C; 3.5 mm / 2.5 mm analogue cable

When listening over USB-C, the headphones decode digital audio internally; the analogue cable works even with a flat battery.

Sennheiser
Controls and app—Touch surface on the right cup; Smart Pause wear detection; Auto On/Off; 5-band equaliser and Sound Personalization in the Smart Control app

Smart Pause stops playback when the headphones are taken off and resumes when they are put back on; Auto On/Off shuts them down to save power when not in use.

Sennheiser
In the box—Carry case; USB-C charging cable; audio cable with 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm jacks; airplane adapter Sennheiser
Water resistance—No IP rating listed

With no certification against sweat or rain, care is needed when it gets wet during exercise.
