Okay, so let's talk about what's a quad mic.

So, wondering what ENC stands for in Quad Mic.

Well, we've got another blog post where we discuss Environment Noise Cancellation (ENC) technology at length - it's one of the best technologies used to cancel out noise - and we have no less than 4 earbuds that offer ENC technology.

Environment Noise Cancellation (ENC) is a technology that uses Quad Mic to detect noises coming from the environment.

Then, it creates an equal and opposite sound wave as a response to the environmental noise detected by the Quad mic.

The sound wave cancels generated by the earbud cancels out the noise - allowing you to enjoy a clean and high-quality calling experience.

However, the best thing about ENC is that it doesn't cancel out high-frequency sounds - which usually tend to be of an emergency nature, such as ambulance siren, police siren, and a person shouting nearby.
