CMF Says Its Over-Ear Headphones Have 100-Hour Battery, but I’m Skeptical

The article discusses the claims made by CMF, a headphone manufacturer, regarding the battery life of their over-ear headphones. The company states that their headphones can provide up to 100 hours of continuous playback on a single charge, which the author finds skeptical. The article delves into the technical details, noting that most high-end over-ear headphones typically offer battery lives ranging from 20 to 50 hours. The author expresses doubt about CMF's ability to achieve significantly longer battery life, especially considering the potential trade-offs in other areas such as audio quality, noise cancellation, or overall product design. The article highlights the importance of verifying such claims, as consumers often rely on battery life as a key factor in their purchasing decisions. The author suggests that independent testing and reviews would be necessary to validate CMF's 100-hour battery life claim before making a recommendation to consumers.
