They feature two dedicated processors that suppress more outside noise than ever before, a powerful driver unit, two feedback microphones, and innovative noise-isolating ear tips for a more stable fit. The real-time Noise Cancelling provides performance tailored to your environment, resulting in a personalized and optimal listening experience anywhere.
