The earbuds utilize bone conduction technology, with transducers positioned on the temples to send vibrations through the cheekbones, leaving the ears open.

They do not provide noise cancellation but remove unwanted background sounds for phone calls. The earbuds have a seven-hour listening time and can be recharged in the included case.
