Operating Instructions

Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling (ANC)

The Q20i headphones feature hybrid active noise cancellation, utilizing two internal and two external microphones to detect and reduce up to 90% of ambient noise, such as airplane engines or car sounds. This allows for a more immersive listening experience.
