Denon Noise Canceling in-ear
The Denon Noise Canceling in-ear earplugs have a technology that suppresses ambient noise: Active Noise Canceling (ANC). This system uses dual microphones in each earcup and has advanced processing to reduce ambient noise. The functions of noise reduction and mixing of ambient noise can be switched quickly with the transparency mode with a simple touch sensor.
Furthermore, the noise canceling earplugs have a beamforming-function. As a result, the clarity of the user’s voice is better than with standard designs. It uses two microphones working together with advanced digital signal processing. In addition, there is a third microphone that promotes voice clarity by shielding wind and ambient noise
