AUDIO-TECHNICA OFFERS HIGH-PERFORMANCE
ATH-ANC3 QUIETPOINT® NOISE-CANCELLING IN-EAR HEADPHONES
INFOCOMM, LAS VEGAS, NV, June 18, 2008 —
Audio-Technica offers its ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint® active noise-cancelling
in-ear headphones, which combine exceptional 85% noise cancellation
with outstanding sound quality, comfort and portability.
The ATH-ANC3 employs patented technology that detects
environmental noise via miniature microphones incorporated into each
ear bud, and applies a corresponding sound-cancelling signal. To achieve
its superior performance in blocking 85% of outside noise, the ATH-ANC3
utilizes active noise cancellation over a wide frequency range, unlike
some in-ear headphones that actively cancel low frequencies only.
The ATH-ANC3 is ideal for use on airplanes and trains,
while jogging or exercising, or anywhere users want to listen to music
– and only music. Designed for total comfort and convenience,
the ATH-ANC3 is supplied with three sizes of ear tips (small, medium
and large) for a customized fit. It features a compact control unit
with a monitor switch that mutes all functions, to let users hear important
outside announcements and conversations. The ATH-ANC3’s audio
functions when its noise-cancelling function is turned off, and it can
be used without batteries.
Like all Audio-Technica products, the ATH-ANC3 is designed
to deliver clear, high-resolution sound, with outstanding bass response,
midrange detail, high-frequency extension and imaging. It can also be
used in noise-cancelling-only mode without audio.
The ATH-ANC3 is supplied with a hard, durable carrying
case, an adjustable cable and additional extension cable, an airline
adapter for connection to in-flight entertainment systems, a clothing
clip and an AAA battery. Available in a color choice of black or white,
the ATH-ANC3 is the latest addition to the Audio-Technica QuietPoint
lineup, which includes the award-winning ATH-ANC7 active noise-cancelling
headphones.
In related news, Audio-Technica has announced that its
flagship ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint noise-cancelling headphones received a
CES Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering award from the Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA).
The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC3 active noise-cancelling in-ear
headphones are now available at a U.S. MSRP of $169.99.
