Frequently asked questions about this product
How long do the Lenovo X9 Edition last?
7 hours of listening per charge, with noise cancelling off, and 36 hours in total with the case. If the battery gives out before a meeting, 10 minutes of charging give 2 hours of use; a full charge takes 1 hour for the earbuds and 1 hour 30 minutes for the case.
What difference does pairing them with a ThinkPad X9 make?
Pairing is instant, automatic call answering becomes available, and a triple tap switches from one device to the other. The PC also lends its processor to the Dolby Atmos sound and to the processing of the three microphones: the earbud and the machine work together.
How many microphones do these earbuds have?
Three per earbud, i.e. six in total, all dedicated to noise reduction. They pick up your voice while the ENC system filters out background chatter: that is what lets you hold a meeting from an open-plan office without imposing the floor’s atmosphere on the people you are talking to.
What is the difference between ANC and ENC on this model?
ANC cuts the noise that you hear: it shields you from the office floor or the tram. ENC cleans up what the other person hears, by filtering out the noise picked up by the microphones. The two work together, each on its own side of the call.
What can you do from the touch controls?
Answer, reject, hold or switch a call; play, pause, skip forward or back; and cycle through the three noise modes — ANC, Talk-through to let the outside world back in, and fully off. Everything is controlled from the earbud.
Does the music pause when you take out an earbud?
These earbuds feature in-ear detection, the function that recognises whether the earbud is being worn or not. At a workstation, it saves you hunting for the pause button when a colleague comes over and you pull out an earbud in one movement.
Are they resistant to dust and rain?
They are rated IP55. The first 5 indicates protection against dust, the second resistance to low-pressure water jets: sweat, a downpour or site dust have no consequence. It does not mean they are waterproof for immersion.
Which ear tip sizes are included?
Three extra pairs in XS, S and L come with the earbuds, alongside the charging case, the warranty document and the quick start guide. The parts in contact with the ear are made of silicone.
Are these earbuds discreet enough to wear all day?
Under 6 g per earbud, and under 47.3 g with the case: the whole set slips into a shirt pocket. The 12.2 mm drivers cover 20 to 20,000 Hz at 16 ohms, with Dolby Atmos rendering for content that supports it.
Are these Lenovo earbuds new and under warranty?
Yes, new and genuine, with a 1-year warranty for which your invoice serves as proof. The part number is 4XD1R31390. Full specifications are in the manufacturer’s datasheet.
Up to 30 dB of ambient rumble removed by active noise cancelling: open-plan office, train or plane. Five hours of listening per charge of the earbuds, 25 h in total with the case, and four microphones for the voice.
Two-way speaker and dual amplifier: bass and treble are driven separately. Noise cancellation adapts to the environment on its own, opens up when you speak and lets sirens through.
Five hours of listening per charge, and 15 h more stored in the charging case, for 20 h in total. The compact case slips into a pocket and recharges over USB-C in an hour and a half.
Three microphones per ear and wind-cutting processing keep the voice intelligible mid-run. Up to 12 h of listening from the earbuds with noise cancelling off, and 48 h in total with the case.
Two battery regimes: 10 h from the earbuds alone and 40 h in total with the case, noise cancelling on; 12 h and 48 h with it off. Ambient Aware and TalkThru let outside sounds back in.
100% recycled GRS-certified plastic and FSC cardboard packaging: a responsible choice that gives up nothing on sound, with 13 mm drivers tuned for the bass. 4 h of listening per charge, 20 h in total with the case.
Sweat, rain, salt water and sand do not stop them: the IP68 rating protects them from water and dust alike. Up to 8 h of listening with active noise cancelling, 48 h in total with the case.
The silicone ear hook with memory wire bends to any ear shape and stays put during exercise. 10.5 g per earbud, touch controls and Ambient Aware mode to stay aware of the road.
Four microphones analyse the surrounding noise and cut it automatically; Smart Ambient mode does the opposite and lets voices back in. Multipoint to move from the tablet to the phone without disconnecting.
A dedicated woofer and tweeter in each earbud, backed by a dual amplifier: bass and treble no longer tread on each other. Wireless audio reaches up to 24-bit/96 kHz on compatible Galaxy devices.
