What is Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)? ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) is a technology that reduces unwanted background noise by using advanced microphones and sound processing. It helps create an immersive listening experience by blocking external distractions. How does the ANC feature in Alpha Airdots 500 work? The Alpha Airdots 500 uses Quad Mic ANC technology, which combines Feedforward and Feedback ANC to eliminate ambient noise effectively. It detects external and internal sounds and cancels them out with anti-noise signals. What is Quad Mic technology? Quad Mic refers to the Quad-microphone system in Alpha Airdots 500, designed for superior call clarity and enhanced noise cancellation. The mics work together to capture and filter out background noise, ensuring clear voice transmission during calls and immersive ANC performance. How much noise does the ANC feature block? The Quad Mic ANC in Alpha Airdots 500 reduces noise levels by up to 50dB, which significantly minimizes background disturbances such as traffic noise, chatter, and wind, allowing for an undisturbed audio experience. How much noise does the ANC feature block? The ANC in Alpha Airdots 500 is designed to enhance sound quality by eliminating distractions without compromising audio clarity. It ensures deep bass and crisp vocals, providing an optimized listening experience. How much noise does the ANC feature block? Yes, the Quad Mic setup with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) ensures clear voice transmission by reducing background noise during calls, making conversations smooth and uninterrupted. Is ANC effective in all environments? ANC works best in environments with consistent low-frequency noise, such as airplanes, public transport, or offices. However, it may not completely eliminate sudden, high-pitched sounds like shouting or alarms. Will ANC drain the battery faster? Yes, using ANC consumes more power, but the Airbud 850 is optimized for efficiency, providing up to 50 hours of total playtime (with ANC off) and slightly lower battery life when ANC is enabled.
