I am wondering how the control scheme is going to be? I need volume up down and skip tracks/forward fast.

RHA's site doesn't mention which codec it's using either. The Amazon page only lists SBC. I feel like AAC is the absolute minimum for sound quality.

3.5 hours of playback time for the Nokia? That's highly disappointing. At this point it seems like almost all new true wireless designs from the big manufacturers are managing a minimum of 4 hours of battery life, but most are hitting 5.

I'd be pretty shocked and disappointed if SBC only. the MA650 and 750 support Aptx and AAC.

That's promising. I shot their customer support an email to see what sort of codec it's using and will report back if I hear from them. Hopefully with all their product information focusing on them being a lifestyle product there hasn't been a compromise on sound quality or Bluetooth codec.

The fact that no one ever mentions codecs is just hilarious, talking about Bluetooth 5.0 like that means very much.

It means steady connectivity, which everybody can relate to. On the other hand not sure how many of the target audience accustomed to bundled buds even know what codec is, much less appreciate subtle sonic differences. And that while listening to already super compressed stream sitting on a train or running or working out.
