By combining advanced noise cancellation with natural audio reproduction, the new headphones deliver clear, detailed sound at lower volumes – reducing fatigue and enhancing comfort throughout the journey. Controlled bass, precise vocal clarity and an immersive soundstage ensure every note of music, line of dialogue and cinematic detail is heard, even against the constant hum of the engines and the shifting conditions of the cabin environment.
