Two types of noise-cancelling systems

This product features two types of noise-cancelling systems. You can get the most from the noise-cancelling functions by using our “CONNECT” app.

Function Description
Personalized noise-cancelling system In this system, the manner in which the headphones are worn is detected in order to provide the same level of noise-cancelling performance regardless of ear type.
Optimized noise-cancelling system[1] In this system, the headphones measure the noise level of the surrounding environment, based on which the system automatically sets the optimal level of noise cancelling.

[1] Setting can also be performed via the headphones.

Optimizing the noise-cancelling function (optimized noise-cancelling system)

The headphones measure the surrounding noise level, based on which the optimal level of noise cancelling is automatically selected.

  • Setting can also be performed using our “CONNECT” app.
  1. Touch and hold (about 3 seconds) the touch sensor on the L (left) side headphone.

    Measurement of the ambient noise level will then start, after which the optimal level of noise cancelling is automatically selected.

  • Optimization is not possible when the ambience control function is off or when hear-through is selected. Instead, operate with noise cancelling selected. For details on switching ambience control on and off, refer to Ambience control.
