Audio-Technica is the latest
company to offer its own truly wireless (TWS) earbuds with the brand new
QuietPoint ANC300TW. The Japanese audio maker took to CES to announce the earbuds
which come with hybrid active noise-canceling (ANC) and IPX2 water-resistance
and pair over Bluetooth 5.0.
Each earbud packs a 5.8 mm
driver as well as two microphones that use Qualcomm’s Clear Voice Capture to
ensure optimal noise cancellation. Users can pick from three distinct
noise-canceling profiles which include Airplane for isolating low-frequency
sounds, On-the-Go for street noise and Office/Study which responds to noise in
quiet environments.
The earbuds also support
Qualcomm TrueWireless Stereo Plus, which ensures optimal audio stream without
disruptions or audio latency. Battery life is rated at 4.5 hours of playback
while the carrying/charging case provides an additional 13.5 hours. The earbuds
can detect when you remove them from the case and automatically turn on. The
case itself charges over a Type-C connector which is quite handy.
The ANC300TW are expected to
launch this spring for US$ 230.
