Audio Technica QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones

Audio-Technica ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint® Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones

Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint® Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones reduce distracting background noise by 85% while offering the superior sound that makes Audio-Technica a world-leading pro audio company.

Engineered to create a comfortable listening environment in areas with high ambient noise, these in-ear 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-canceling 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.

Wherever you happen to find yourself-on a busy subway, in a noisy office, or settling in for a long flight-there is no better way to experience audio or immerse yourself a quiet environment. Discover our QuietPoint. And find your own.
