About ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint
™
Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint
active noise-cancelling technology to provide a comfortable listening
environment in areas with high ambient noise. The headphones feature a
miniature microphone in each earpiece that picks up ambient noise (such
as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.). Electronics in the control box create a
noise-cancelling wave that is 180° out of phase with the ambient noise.
This wave acts like a noise eraser: it cancels out the annoying sounds that
surround you without diminishing the audio you want to hear. The result...a
peaceful enclave to enjoy the music or movies of your choice.
