Why consider this model?

  • A documented earlier over-ear ANC option for buyers comparing Apple Bluetooth listening, a 20-hour manufacturer-rated ANC-on maximum, and a separately cabled 3.5 mm analog source path.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • The rated 20-hour maximum belongs to the Bluetooth ANC plan; analog ANC, analog runtime and battery-free passive playback remain undocumented. The Lightning generation lacks the later USB-C wired digital-audio route, and an actual older unit's battery condition and personal fit require separate checks.
