Battery life guide

How to choose battery life

Battery life on wireless headphones ranges from 18 hours on the Apple AirPods Max to over 50 hours on the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless. Battery life depends on driver size, chipset efficiency, and active noise cancellation behaviour.

ANC and battery

Active noise cancellation drains battery faster than passive listening. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra runs 24 hours with ANC on. The same headphones run 30 hours with ANC off.
