It’s our Acoustic Noise Cancelling™ technology. The product of more than 50 years of research, it cancels outside noise using an opposite signal, resulting in more quiet and more of your music. You can choose from Quiet Mode for full noise cancelling or Aware Mode to let in some of your surroundings when needed.

UP TO 22 HOURS*

Listen longer

They recharge fully in just 2.5 hours, and a 15-minute charge will give you up to 3 hours of use. For even longer play time, plug in the included audio cable to use in wired mode.
