What is the difference between active noise cancelling and passive isolation?

Passive isolation is just the shape of the headphone: in-ear tips or over-ear pads physically block sound. Active noise cancelling (ANC) also listens to your surroundings through microphones and generates an opposing wave, so it works best on steady drone — a plane, a bus, ventilation. ANC does very little against sudden sounds such as speech.

How long do wireless earbuds really last on one charge?

In-ear buds usually play for 4–8 hours, and the case adds another two to four full charges. Over-ear headphones last 20–40 hours. High volume, ANC and cold weather all cut into that — in winter expect roughly a fifth less.

Can I use one pair with both my phone and my computer?

Yes, if the headphones support multipoint: they stay connected to two devices at once and switch by themselves when a call starts on the computer. Without multipoint you have to disconnect one device manually every time.

Choose the band and adjust the antenna

AM, FM and SW reception gives you a choice of broadcasts available in your area. The telescopic antenna lets you adjust its position and extension when looking for reception. This helps you adapt the radio to where you are listening, with reception still depending on the station and local conditions.

Keep it close without holding it

The included belt clip gives you another way to carry the radio when moving between places. Its small shape can also fit into a bag or pocket when it is time to pack. You can keep it within reach without carrying the radio in your hand for the whole journey.

A speaker for sharing, headphones for yourself

Listen through the built-in speaker when you want the broadcast nearby, or connect your own suitable wired headphones to the headphone output. That gives you a choice between open listening and a more personal arrangement. The same radio can suit different listening situations without changing the source.

Recharge for the next listening session

The built-in rechargeable battery lets you use the radio away from a permanent power lead. Connect it through USB-C with the supplied cable and a suitable power source when charging is needed.
