Questions about this item

How many microphones are active when the adaptive noise-cancellation system is running all day?

The HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3 optimises 12 microphones in real time to maintain noise cancellation, sound quality and call clarity during continuous use.

Does the headphone generate noticeable heat or fan noise during extended listening sessions?

The headphone has no fan; its adaptive microphone system and processor run silently, so heat and audible noise stay minimal even after hours of wear.

What source device and codec support are required to use the high-resolution wireless audio features?

A Bluetooth source that supports LDAC is needed to stream High-Resolution Audio wirelessly; otherwise the headphone falls back to standard Bluetooth audio.
