Automatic adaptive noise reduction Multiple integrated microphones sense exterior noise and cancel it out using the anti-noise waves the headphones send back. This helps to achieve optimum sound quality all the time. Several options are available in the application, to ensure unique listening comfort. - Noise reduction: for insulation from exterior noise during telephone conversations and while listening to music - Street mode: to enjoy the sensation of not wearing a headset, to remain alert in the street. Exterior sound is reinjected into the earbuds.
