About the active noise-cancelling function The product is designed to use its built-in microphone to pick up noise from the surrounding environment (noise from vehicles, noise from air conditioners, etc.) and to cancel out that noise by producing sounds in negative phase. This results in a reduction in the sounds in your environment. • The product’s noise-cancelling function mainly reduces noises of 300 Hz or lower.
