The new HMD amped sprouts are very different from their average headphones: the outbreaks have a very distinctive hinged design instead of the Airpods style of so many headphones. And its load case is more like an energy bank than to a atrial case, because that is exactly what it is.
The load case is also a Qi2 wireless energy bank with a 1,600 mAh battery, and that is a very robust battery for a case, in fact, in fact, that if only uses it to load its headphones, you can wait almost 100 hours of playback before you need to look for a USB-C charger.
To clarify, 1,600 mAh is not so large the battery that will get in a dedicated energy bank, tend to come in multiples of 10,000 mAh, but it is enough to load an iPhone 16 Pro of approximately 20%, so it is still quite useful if it is working dangerously low.

The battery life is 95 hours, although as always it is with Anc off: put the noise that cancels and can wait about 58 hours still impressive. The outbreaks will work for 8.1 hours without ANC and 4.9 hours with.
Of course, it doesn’t matter how much the battery lasts if your headphones do not sound good. But the drivers here are 10 mm, so they must be quite overwhelming, and the shoots admit Snapdragon Sound; There are also three microphones for clear voice calls and to shout at your chosen virtual assistant.
