Manufacturer specification · Higher volume reduces playtime. Tribit's playtime figures differ: up to 12 hours at medium volume in the FAQ and comparison table, but up to 10 hours in the product description of its store product data. Charging time also differs within Tribit's page: 3-4 hours in the specification table vs approximately 2.5–3 hours in the FAQ, so no charging time is recorded.
