Active Noise Cancellation
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) counters noise by detecting and analyzing the pattern of incoming sound, and then generating an anti-noise signal to cancel noise out. As a result, you experience a reduced level of surrounding noise during music and media playback.
ANC is disabled by default and can enable and personalized using the Jabra Sound+ app. A firmware update may be required to enable ANC.
HearThrough
HearThrough lets you pay attention to your surroundings and engage in conversation, when not on a call, without needing to remove the earbuds. The microphones pick up surrounding sounds and transmit them to the speakers.
