It also uses the MPHM series power inductors from Sunlord, which have excellent performance in anti-interference/anti-coupling and preventing magnetic leakage, as well as excellent electrical performance such as large rated current, high reliability, and DCR. These can well meet the headset's requirements for power inductors.

The inside of the charging case includes the battery, the main board and the small Hall sensor board for connecting immediately after opening the lid. The battery capacity is 475mAh, and the main board is equipped with the SinhMicro SS88F8H power management chip to charge the built-in battery.
