Frequently Asked Questions

The ANC is effective, particularly in reducing mid-range frequencies like stage rumble, but might not completely eliminate low-frequency noise like those top-tier competitors.
The app seems well-designed, offering granular EQ control, but long-term reliability and update frequency remain to be seen.
While the frequency response is broad, the closed-back design can introduce a slightly colored sound, so use with caution and A/B with reference monitors.
