Smart Listening – Best-in-class ANC Pro Headphones
Hybrid technology for superior sound isolation

Philips ANC headphones are equipped with industry-leading ANC chipsets and ergonomically shaped earcups/earbuds to deliver the best ANC performance.

Our ANC Pro solution incorporates both feedforward & feedback microphones to capture noise for advanced ANC processing. This Hybrid ANC topology can suppress noise over a wider frequency range, adapt to and correct errors and is less sensitive to sound angle and user wear condition.

We also design our earpads with special materials such as memory foam, Comply™ foam tips, lambskin, and top grade protein leather for ergonomic comfort and passive noise isolation.

Our Fidelio models are also equipped with engineer-tuned balanced-armature drivers to deliver detailed treble and a new level of clarity and realism.

Clear Voice Call

ANC, while isolating external noises, also impact the clarity of your voice when calling another party with your ANC headset. We are able to compensate for voice clarity with an array of carefully positioned voice pick-up microphones and beamforming technology to make your voice calling clearer to the other party you are talking to.

Each architecture topology is specifically customized to fit the corresponding design and complexity of the headphones.

Wind Noise Reduction
ANC technology is good in cancelling out environ-mental noise to improve the listening experience. However, microphones used in this technology inevitably also pick up wind noise. The ANC system is not able to discern between acoustic pressure fluctuations from external environment and boundary layer pressure fluctuations near mic inlet.
By strategically positioning our microphones within the structure of the earcups, our engineers have been able to significantly reduce air movement near the mic inlet and hence minimize wind noise artefacts. This allows you to enjoy your beats without that annoying wind noise.
