Buyer questions

Commuting questions.

Can I hear announcements without removing the earbuds?

Yes. Transparency mode lets outside sound back in, although critical announcements still deserve full attention.

Are they safe in light rain?

The IP54 rating covers dust and splashes, but the earbuds should not be submerged and the case should remain dry.

Will ANC block subway noise?

It reduces steady low-frequency rumble but does not eliminate voices, brakes or sudden platform sounds.
