- Battery life has increased to about 8 hours per charge with ANC on, compared to 6 hours in the previous model.
- New features include a built-in heart rate sensor that works during workouts and can sync with the Apple Fitness app and Apple Watch.
- Transparency mode sounds more natural, improving in-person conversations and phone call clarity.
- Voice call quality is excellent, with background noise greatly reduced.
- They have an IP57 rating for water and dust resistance.
