In-ear headphones are inserted directly into the ear canal. The resulting pressure chamber effect allows for a powerful sound experience without having to turn the music up too loud. This is gentle on your ears while extending the battery life of your playback device. In-ear headphones also have excellent noise-cancelling properties - so you're much less aware of distracting ambient noise. Thanks to their compact size, they can be easily stowed in any trouser pocket, making them the ideal companion when you're on the move.
Active noise cancellation lets you focus on your music, even in noisy environments: The microphones built into the headphones detect disturbing ambient noise and then generate a corresponding counter signal, which makes the noise inaudible to your ears. This technology is much more effective than the headphones alone in attenuating external noise. No matter where you are, block out the environment and enjoy your favorite music completely undisturbed.
The completely closed design of these headphones is not very air permeable, but offers powerful sound and rich bass. In addition, disturbing outside noises are very well muffled. The other way around is also well insulated: outsiders can practically not hear your music.
