Anyone who has used ANC headphones in a noisy environment will know that active noise-cancellation makes a big difference. But Danish company Jabra claims that it’s latest headphones go one better, using AI to tune out specific types of noise …
Standard ANC works by using external microphones to detect surrounding sounds. The headphones then play an inverted version of the soundwaves along with the music, and this cancels out the external noise.
High-end ANC headphones from the likes of Bose and Sony do this extremely well, but Jabra believes that the use of AI can do an even better job. Gizmodo explains.
The Elite 85h will be available in four colors – black, gray, gold and navy – and offer both USB-C and 3.5mm connectivity alongside wireless.
The Jabra Elite 85h will cost $300, putting them in a similar price bracket to the two market-leading ANC headphones: the Bose QC35 and Sony WH-1000XM3. Pre-orders are expected to begin in March.
