Audio-Technica is now shipping its ATH-ANC700BT QuietPoint over-ear wireless active noise-canceling (ANC) headphones, which feature the company’s latest advancements in ANC technology to deliver superior noise-canceling performance and audio quality, along with improved wireless convenience.
The ATH-ANC700BT wireless headphones with Bluetooth technology employ a newly-developed active noise cancellation system that operates in a wider frequency range in the low through midrange frequencies than typical ANC designs, and provides a greater degree of noise cancellation, the company stated. The ATH-ANC700BT also provides improved isolation for better cancellation outside the active range. In addition, the headphones’ microphones are mounted behind the driver diaphragm. In standard ANC headphones, the mics are mounted in a location where they can unintentionally pick up some of the generated noise-canceling signal, which is then reprocessed in a feedback loop and can limit noise reduction performance.
The new headphones feature a new touch and swipe control system that allows the user to intuitively answer calls, and control volume and play, pause, fast forward or rewind on Bluetooth-compatible devices.
According to the press release, the ATH-ANC700BT employs large 40 mm drivers for powerful, wideband frequency response which is quoted as 5Hz–40kHz. The headphones support Bluetooth AAC, aptX and SBC codecs and can deliver Hi-Res Audio compliant playback from audio sources when connected with the included 3.5 mm cable. The ATH-ANC700BT provides up to 25 hours of battery life in ANC and Bluetooth mode via its USB charging port. It can also be used in wired mode if the battery runs down or to listen with a wired music source. It comes with a pouch, a USB charging cable and a standard 3.9-foot (1.2m) cable with a 3.5 mm jack.
