How to Choose Your First Pair of ANC Headphones

Getting the most from your audio gear doesn't have to be complicated.

Step 1: Initial Setup

Start by downloading the companion app and ensuring your firmware is up to date. The app gives you access to EQ customisation and ANC profiles.

Step 2: Finding the Right Fit

A proper seal is critical for both sound quality and noise cancellation. A good fit can improve bass response by up to 6dB.

Step 3: Optimising Sound

For a more balanced sound, reduce bass by 2-3dB and boost the upper mids slightly. aptX Adaptive dynamically adjusts quality based on your connection stability.

Step 4: ANC Customisation

Don't just leave ANC on the default setting. Adaptive mode works well in most situations, but manual control lets you fine-tune.
