> For normal anticipated use, Monocle's battery will last for approximately 2 hours and can be recharged in its case up to 6 times.

So only 12 hours of total use? Hoping it's a typo or not what it sounds like.

Like AirPods, the case has its own battery.

Ohh, that makes sense, thanks! If I owned AirPods or really any comparable product I probably would have understood right away.

Me, too. I thought it was oddly disposable or something.

The website definitely needs to clarify that -- I was confused until I saw a photo of the "charging case" somewhere, and then it clicked.

Someone else answered, but here are some more details. Case has a 450mA battery in it, and a USB Type-C jack to recharge it.
