Design
The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.
2.weight
10.4g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
3.has no wires or cables

I had model 5 of these earbuds and was very happy with them, till they fell off and started failing. I decided to continue with the brand and this ones are simply perfect. sound quality is awesome, noise cancellation is amazing and I can use a bluetooth earbuds in the airplane multimedia sistem finally!! The battery life it's really good, they really last the promised 24 hours. The only thing I don't like is that u must keep charge both earbuds and case if you're going to connect them to the airplane
