 Audio-Technica has announced the introduction of its ATH-ANC7b QuietPoint® active noise-cancelling over-ear headphones, which have the same 85% noise-cancellation but incorporate a number of improvements from the previous model to offer even better sound quality, comfort and convenience.
The ATH-ANC7b delivers superior audio performance, with a smoother, richer and more natural tonal balance. The headphones provide clear, high-resolution sound, with a high impact bass, a detailed midrange, extended treble and accurate imaging within an immersive soundfield.
The ear-cups have been redesigned for greater comfort, and feature generously cushioned padding and a shape that fits easily over any ear. In addition, the ATH-ANC7b is supplied with two 1.6 m (5.2') and 1.0 m (3.3') detachable cables, and offers easier battery access.
The ATH-ANC7b employs exclusive QuietPoint® active noise-cancellation technology that eliminates up to 85% of outside noise. A miniature microphone in each ear-cup detects environmental noise, and a corresponding sound-cancelling signal is applied. The headphones are ideal for use with the Apple® iPod®, iPhone™ and iPod touch® portable music and DVD players, laptop computers, in-flight entertainment systems and other devices.
The ATH-ANC7b utilizes large-aperture 40 mm neodymium-magnet drivers for a wide 10 – 25,000 Hz frequency response. The headphones have extremely high 109 dB sensitivity to provide generous volume levels from any music source. The ATH-ANC7b also works when the noise-cancelling function is turned off, and operates in passive mode without batteries.
The headphones fold flat for storage and come with two detachable 1.6 m (5.2') and 1.0 m (3.3') cables, a full-size ¼-inch adapter, an airline adapter for connection to in-flight entertainment systems, and a hard, durable carrying case.
These very desirable headphones are available immediately from Audio-Technica’s e-retail site, Audio Technica Headphones for Professional & Everyday Use and will be available from mid August at selected retailers at a suggested price of £184.00 inc VAT in the UK and €189 ex VAT in Europe.
