Dual processors. Unrivalled noise control.

Dual processors work in concert. Integrated Processor V2 analyses ambient noise and earbud fit in real time, while HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 applies precise microphone control to minimise everyday sounds.

More precise. More quiet.

With four microphones on each side, you can control how much ambient sound comes through, from stronger noise cancelling to a more open, aware listen. Or reduce outside sound so it’s closer to just you and your music.

Adapts in real time

Intelligent by design. With Adaptive NC Optimiser, four microphones track ambient sound while the processor refines the profile in real time, helping maintain effective noise cancelling across different environments and wearing conditions.

Stay connected, stay aware

Dual feedforward microphones let the outside come through clearly and naturally. Hear conversations and cues around you without taking the earbuds out.

Shaped for true immersion

Refined to follow the ear’s natural curves, the ergonomic design settles in quickly and stays comfortable. A steadier seal and isolation eartips support stronger noise cancelling and clearer, more immersive sound throughout the day.

Wind noise-reduction structure

Internal cavity is strategically designed to cancel incoming wind noise, effectively minimising its occurrence to the greatest extent possible.
