Everything can be controlled by gently touching the intuitive touch interface placed on the right ear cup of the headphones – it even works with your gloves on. With simple intuitive gestures on the innovative aluminium clad ear cup, you have complete control over the headphone. Just tap and swipe to do whatever commands needed whether it is answering calls, volume control, track selection or activating the Active Noise Cancellation.
