Over-ear wireless active noise-cancelling (ANC) headphones with 25 hour battery life
Audio-Technica announced a competitor to the Bose QuietComfort 35 over-ear wireless active noise-cancelling headphones that not only cost $150 less, but have a 25% longer lasting battery. The full model name is quite a mouthful called the ATH-ANC700BT QuietPoint over-ear wireless active noise-cancelling (ANC) headphones. Newly developed ANC technology operates in a wider frequency range in the low through midrange frequencies than typical ANC designs, for a significant advancement in noise-cancelling performance and audio quality. The ATH-ANC700BT’s ANC microphones are mounted in a location where, unlike typical ANC headphones, they don’t unintentionally pick up some of the generated noise-cancelling signal, which yields improved noise reduction performance.
The ATH-ANC700BT features a new, intuitive touch and swipe control system for answering calls and controlling volume and playback. The ATH-ANC700BT employs large 40 mm drivers for impactful Hi-Res Audio frequency response from 5 Hz – 40,000 Hz when connected with the included 3.5 mm cable. The ATH-ANC700BT provides up to 25 hours of battery life in ANC and Bluetooth mode and can also be used in wired mode.
