Noise canceling technology
Noise canceling headphones reduce ambient noise and provide a quieter environment to
enhance audio entertainment. The headphones have an inside microphone on each earpiece
that work with an electronic circuitry to create an opposite sound wave to reduce wave.
Ambient sound is reduced by synthesizing with a sound in opposite phase produced by the noise
canceling circuit.
Noise reduction
Reduces noise up to 87.4% (9db at 300Hz) when noise canceling circuit is switched on

13.5mm driver units
The drivers sit just outside the ear with the tip of the earbud small enough to fit into the ear canal
for additional comfort, secure fit and sound blockage.

Loud, noisy environments – planes, trains, buses, work or dorms.
Unique feature:
The built-in monitor function allows you to hear surrounding sound without taking off the
headphones. Perfect for listening to announcements, flight attendants, or any external sound
without the need to take the headphones off.
Passive function
The headphones can operate as passive headphones when the noise canceling circuit is not
activated. It allows the headphone to function as regular stereo headphones without using the
battery.
