#3

Battery life was usually praised as long or above average, though one reviewer fell short of Sony’s claim in mixed ANC/ambient use.

#4

Battery life is widely praised for long earbud runtime, often around 10-11 hours, but the case's single extra charge creates some battery-life caveats.

#5

Battery life was consistently praised as very good to excellent, frequently beating or meeting expectations, with only case capacity or competitor comparisons as caveats.

#6

Battery endurance is widely considered dependable for several days of use and travel. LDAC, volume, and listening modes affect runtime, while some merely regard endurance as average.

#7

Battery life was generally viewed as good and competitive, with some strong real-world results, but several reviewers noted it was unchanged rather than class-leading.

#8

Battery life was usually considered good to excellent for normal use, though some reviewers found it short versus newer or rival models.

Battery life is generally praised as a major upside, though one lab-style reviewer fell short of Sony's nine-hour claim.
