The earphones also contain AI-based DSEE Extreme technology, which restores quality and clarity to lossy compressed codecs.
The XM5 has a battery life of up to 30 hours with ANC enabled and up to 40 hours without.ANC. A full charge takes about 3.5 hours and you can charge via a USB Type-C port. The headphones cost $399.99 worldwide, which is equivalent to about Rs 31,650.
