The consistent hear-through mode is also available when you want to keep listening to the music but also want to be aware of ambient situation.

These ambience control functions are easily managed by the Connect app, to alter the noise reduction or hear-through modes. You also have quick access to these functions via the earcup touch sensors.

Touch and swipe controls enable quick and easy management of music and calls, while comfort is a priority when out and about, as soft memory foam ear pads and headband ensure a secure but snug fit. An impressive 28 hour battery life from a single charge allows the music to keep playing on long journeys and commutes. Its fold-fat design allows easy storage in bags or luggage.

Specially designed 45mm drivers deliver a natural, accurate and dynamic audio over a wireless connection, while users can opt for a wired connection when the battery is low, or for the playback of detailed and studio-quality high-resolution audio via compatible smartphones and portable music players.
