Frequently Asked Questions

The ANC is respectable, effectively reducing mid-range frequencies, but it won't completely eliminate very loud or low-frequency sounds like airplane engines.
The sound is fairly balanced, with a slight emphasis on the mid-range; bass is present but not overwhelming, making it versatile for various genres.
While the sound is decent, the plastic construction and slightly colored response make them better suited for casual listening than professional audio work.
