Transparency Mode and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

The RCA Wave-78 earbuds offer both Transparency Mode and Active Noise Cancellation to adapt to your listening environment.

  • Transparency Mode: Allows ambient sounds to blend with your audio, keeping you aware of your surroundings. This is ideal for urban environments or when interacting with others.
