ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) Mode
Activate ANC mode to significantly reduce ambient noise. This mode is particularly effective in environments with continuous low-frequency sounds, such as during air travel, train commutes, or in busy offices. The AN01 utilizes a dedicated DSP chip and four microphones to precisely capture and counteract unwanted background noise, providing a more immersive audio experience.

This feature enhances situational awareness and safety, making it ideal for activities like cycling, walking in urban areas, or engaging in quick conversations without interruption to your audio playback.
