I'm going to point something out that MKBHD mentioned in his first impressions I don't see anyone talking about: the "smart case" is the only way to turn the headphones off If you walk away from your desk or whatever without putting them into the case, they'll die after a few hours. There's no of button, they don't turn off when you disconnect from bluetooth, they don't turn off after a certain amount of inactivity.
This'd be an instant killer for me.

They have on-head/off-head detection and pause playback when you take them off, so that immediately reduces power draw. Presumably they also have an accelerometer and can go to sleep when they don't move for a few minutes. The case induces a deeper sleep mode that preserves more power, turning off bluetooth, and the processor that's monitoring movement detection.

They do enter "deep sleep" mode after a while, even without the case. Source in his video: https://youtu.be/UdfSrJvqY_E?t=458 https://youtu.be/UdfSrJvqY_E?t=458
- jedimastert 6y agoThat's a good point that I misunderstood. I'd still find it somewhat problematic that they'd wait 2 hours before going to sleep, but not the "my god how did they not think of this" issue I thought it was
