Noise-Cancelling

Noise is a factor in many of our lifestyles. We hear it in the engine noise of a bus or a plane and even in places such as shopping malls and parks where all sorts of sounds mix.

This background noise can interfere with your audio enjoyment and can still come through even a great set of headphones.

For this reason Sony offer headphones with ‘Noise-Cancelling’ technology. This means that the headphones have microphones built-in to them that can pick up ambient noise and output a signal that effectively ‘neutralises’ or ‘cancels’ the noise out. Depending on the degree of

cancellation, you can have up to 80% of ambient background noise cut out!

This removes more unwanted sounds, and allows more pure music to reach your ears instead.

In addition to noise-cancelling headphones, the new S700 series Walkmans have noise- cancelling technology† built-in as well, making both these devices perfect for those who are serious about sound or simply just want to cut the clutter.

†Noise cancelling function reduces the ambient noise by up to 75%. It does not cancel all ambient noise.

The microphone used in noise-cancelling technology picks up ambient noise from the background environment and outputs an equal and opposite signal effectively neutralising the sound wave of the noise.
