microphones work in synergy; one to emphasize your voice, and the other to
remove the ambient noise.
NoiseGard
The ™ hybrid Active Noise Cancellation system is a combination of 2
NoiseGard
noise-cancellation systems composed of a total of 4 microphones. Two micro-
phones with openings to the outside of the headphones work as a Feed-Forward
active noise cancellation system that reduces noise in the high-frequency band,
while the other two microphones inside the headphones work as a Feed-Back
active noise cancellation system that reduces noise in the low-frequency band.
The combination of these 2 microphone systems results in a broad reduction in
noise covering a wider band of frequencies.

to communicate with other people without having to remove the headphones.
When TalkThrough is activated, professional quality microphones mounted on
the outside of the headphones pick up all acoustic signals in the immediate vi-
cinity. Annoying background noise is electronically filtered out, only allowing
the voice of the other person to pass through the headphones clearly.
