Our adaptive ANC samples your environment 50,000 times per second. That’s not a marketing number — it’s the clock speed of our dedicated ANC chip, and it determines how fast we can react to changing noise.
The loop
- Detect: 6 microphones (3 outer, 3 inner) capture ambient and in-ear sound
- Analyze: The ANC chip compares the two signals, identifying noise frequencies
- Generate: An anti-phase waveform is calculated and injected into the driver
- Verify: The inner mics confirm the cancellation worked
This loop runs 50,000 times per second. Faster than your brain processes sound.
Why speed matters
Low-frequency noise (engine hum, AC rumble) is predictable — cheap ANC handles it. The hard part is mid-frequency transients: a door slam, a cough, a siren.
Our 50 kHz loop closes the cancellation window to 20 microseconds. Industry-standard ANC at 1-2 kHz leaves a 500-1000 μs gap — long enough for a transient to reach your ear.
