It is, I assume you mean active noise cancelling, not “A” weighted noise reduction. However, it also references:“Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation” - which I dont understand what it means. Regardless - if the NRR is rated actively or passively or both - I would like to know the measure method (i.e. real like ANSI, or just homegrown method).
I think it means either the fact that passive muffling exists and/or their “let in ambient sound” feature? Don’t know. I see other brands use the term. We could probably search.
If I use the 3.5mm headphone jack, does it turn off the bluetooth signal? Can it be turned off using the APP? Does it use wifi for the app? If so, can it be turned off as well?
I haven’t been able to find any size specs on these. What is the inside ear cup diameter for the cutout and the outside overall cup diameter? I am curious because most over the ear headphones are actually a little small inside the pad and end up being on the ear instead.
No aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD, or aptX Adaptive?
AAC likes Apple better than Android (me).
If all I’m getting is SBC then I’m likely to have latency problems when using these for TV.
Guess I’ll have to pass… perhaps version 2 will have aptX?
@njawdawg
I will see if I can get those measurements for you
@MTBioGuy
I did some of the testing and I did not experience latency when watching tv with them. Not saying there might not be some there and just was not enough for me to notice but I was happy with them
I don’t know anything about APTX. Does it really reduce lip synch latency? From some quick reading it sounds like just a compression improvement that may not really be needed anymore.
In case you are unaware apt(??) is largely unneeded today. And you only get apt(??) if the source AND target support the exact same version (eg Adaptive or HD etc).
I have an Apple TV, as I am sure you are aware no Apple Products support apt(??). But my LG Headphones do support apt(??). I routinely listen to my TV with the LG headphones with no Sync issues. Same with my Samsung TV in the bedroom with my Homepods. (Via Airplay which is Bluetooth also).
So while apt(??) certainly helped in the early days of Bluetooth it really does not benefit it much if any now.
My Dad uses hearing aides and we had to set a function delay in either the TV or cable box (I forget which). It delayed the picture by a bit so that going thru his hearing aides they were synced up better than without the delay…for him at least but not for others.
Native means that the assistant is built into your phone.
You can also use Alexa with the headphones connected to any device. Bluetooth connection is required for all of the assistants to work.
@conklin1000 The noise reduction is the overall noise reduction, active and passive combined. 40dB refers to the maximum decibels of noise reduction the headphones. We tested the headphones. We tested per industry standards. Below is an illustration of the test setup from HeadAcoustic, which we followed, ANSI NRR is usually used for passive noise cancelling hearing protectors.
When you use the audio cable, it turns off the Bluetooth signal. The headphones connect to the app over Bluetooth, but it’s not mandatory to use the app (though it’s recommended to have the app for personalized features and firmware updates).
