Active Noise-Cancelling (ANC)

The ANC feature helps to reduce external ambient noise, allowing you to immerse yourself in your music or calls without distraction. Activate this mode when you wish to block out surrounding sounds.

Ambient Sound

Ambient Sound mode allows you to hear your surroundings while still enjoying your audio. This is useful for situations where you need to be aware of your environment, such as walking in a city or listening for announcements.

Listening Care

Yamaha's Listening Care technology intelligently equalizes the sound to ensure full-range audio quality even at lower listening volumes. This helps to prevent listening fatigue and provides a balanced sound experience regardless of the volume level.

Maintenance

Cleaning
