Replacing a best seller can be a nerve racking exercise but with the renewal of the ATH-ANC7b Audio-Technica are chock-a-block full of confidence. Providing up to 90% noise cancelling the new ATH-ANC70 offers a host of improvements including a microphone and phone call/music controller, completely integrated electronics with all functionality built into the ear-cup, and a new comfort-fit design.
Rather than a cable mounted headset mic and controls the ATH-ANC70 incorporates all in the left ear cup. Simply pressing the illuminated ‘Audio-Technica’ logo/button activates the microphone or scrolls through music tracks. Volume and on/off are equally accessible. The mic and controller support most smartphones as well as select products including the iPhone™, iPad® and many iPod® models.
To improve long haul comfort ear cup diameter has been enlarged but profile reduced. The ear cushions and headband are now made from memory foam, and the design of the headband hugs the shape of the wearer’s head for a lighter ‘feel’ and fit.
Like all QuietPoint models, the ATH-ANC70 offers superior noise-cancellation performance and audio quality. 40mm drivers and high-quality internal components deliver clear, detailed sound with impactful bass, a natural midrange, extended treble and precise imaging.
All Audio-Technica noise cancelling headphones function in passive mode when the noise-cancelling function is turned off or the battery is flat.
