About this item

• "Listening through headphones or earphones helps to block out the world and immerse yourself in your chosen music or audio; However blocking out the world may mean blocking important noises, such as an ambulance siren, a car horn or public transport announcements; Such important sounds might be necessary for you to avoid a potential accident or ensure you arrive to your destination on time; Yamaha’s Ambient Sound function uses the built-in microphone to capture these external sounds, presenting them in the background while listening to your chosen audio, keeping you fully aware of your surroundings
• Active noise cancellation has a reputation for losing low frequency signals during music playback; Advanced ANC takes a new approach, suppressing ambient noise without applying any processing to the music signal; In-ear microphones listen to the combined signals of music and noise, separating the signal processing of background noise and music; It achieves this by isolating the two from each other in a new, unique algorithm; The signal collected by the inner microphone analyzes the noise, calculating what should be removed from the playback music signal so that only noise is erased; This means there is no unnecessary processing of the music signal, preserving the purity of the music
• The size and shape of our head and ears impact the way each person interprets sound coming from headphones and earphones; Yamaha’s Listening Optimizer utilizes an in-ear microphone to measure the seal and air leakage from different shaped ears every 20 seconds; Playback is optimized in real-time to correct the difference between the source and the actual listening condition, delivering a sound customized to the individual listener
• Listening Care aims to optimize the volume balance based on a static (unchanging) volume setting on your device by taking a real-time, adaptive approach that uses the data for the past 5 seconds, calculating the average volume level every 0.7ms; Optimization is therefore realized with significantly higher accuracy, relative to the content volume on an ongoing basis; Your listening experience is customized to the music and your surroundings meaning a completely individualized sound, just for you
• Charging Time: Approx. 3.5 h Continuous playback time: Approx. 35 h (Advanced ANC = ON)
