About ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint™ Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint™ headphones use active noise-cancelling technology to provide a comfortable listening environment in areas with high ambient noise. The headphones feature a miniature microphone in each earpiece that picks up ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.) and creates a sound-cancelling signal to effectively block the noise.
From studio…to stage…to you
Audio-Technica equipment is used by major artists for studio recording and capturing live performances on stage...allowing audiences to experience their work as clearly and fully as it was intended.
These headphones are designed to offer you the advances in electro-acoustic technology that make Audio-Technica the choice of leading artists worldwide. Wherever you happen to find yourself—in the comfort of your living room, in a noisy office, or settling in for a long flight—there is no better way to experience audio or immerse yourself in a peaceful environment.
•ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint™ Noise-Cancelling Headphones feature ANC circuitry that effectively reduces environmental noise by up to 85%.
•Arrive refreshed after a long flight, avoid distractions in a noisy office, or find peace & quiet in your living room.
•Lightweight, compact design is ideal for travel.
•Use for MP3, CD, DVD & in-flight entertainment systems; remove detachable cable for noise-cancelling function without audio input.
•Closed-back headphones feature large-aperture 40 mm drivers with neodymium magnet systems for deeper bass, extended treble and higher fidelity.
•Audio functions (in passive mode) even without the battery.
•Fully integrated electronics—no external modules needed.
•Includes a durable carrying case with attached pouch for accessories.
