Pretty annoying every single reviewer claims 5 hours with ANC, they're just basically quoting Samsung and that's it.
Here's my experience with them. I left my home to go to the gym at 17:40, that's when I started streaming music from Spotify with ANC ON.
Left the gym at 21, at 21:03 they died.
So from 17:40 to 21:00 that's 3:20. Paired to my Galaxy S10+ so obviously using SSC codec which should, in theory, be more efficient as well.
3 hours and 20 is WELL below the advertised durability. Pretty disappointed because otherwise I absolutely love them but this, theoretically worse than most high end buds.
