Our dual-chip architecture—the Integrated Processor V2 and the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1—synchronize to cancel more noise across all frequencies.
Precision-engineered 40mm HD drivers with Carbon Fiber diaphragms reveal layers in your music you've never heard before.
Every component, from the fluid hinges to the micro-perforated driver grills, is optimized for both acoustic performance and absolute comfort.
Ultra-soft, pressure-relieving earpads in synthetic protein leather evenly distribute pressure and increase ear contact for a stable fit.

Our Precise Voice Pickup Technology uses four beamforming microphones and an AI-based noise reduction algorithm to isolate your voice.
A smart function that senses where you are and what you're doing, then adjusts ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience.
