The auto-off feature aims to ensure you don’t run the battery down accidentally.

This is somewhat lower than many of its competitors – and there’s no passive playback for when the battery runs out – but it should cover you for most situations. One new feature is the rechargeable (via microUSB) battery, which allows for around 20 hours of active noise cancellation.

A case is included, as well as two detachable cables – one with, and one without, inline controls. The originals felt somewhat bulky, but these are lighter and the foldable design makes them an easy portable companion.
