Audio-Technica ATH-ANC900BT (ATH-ANC900BTBK)

Wireless full-size closed-back headphones from the Japanese brand Audio-Technica with high-quality sound, combined connection, long battery life and advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). The model belongs to the upper price segment, part of the QuietPoint product line, and is a versatile device that bridges the gap between analytical-sound monitor headphones and wireless multimedia models for indoor and outdoor use.

Thanks to the built-in microphone and a combination of a Bluetooth receiver and a detachable audio cable (3.5 mm mini-jack), the device can be used as an outdoor hands-free headset, headphones for listening to music or a gaming device. When connected wirelessly, the manufacturer promises an impressive 35 hours of battery life (with ANC enabled). The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC900BT is equipped with proprietary 40mm dynamic drivers that provide clear and balanced sound with accentuated bass, well-accentuated mids, and no distortion in the frequency range.

A key feature of this model is an advanced noise reduction system, which is based on a bunch of multiple microphones and smart ANC algorithms. When on, it effectively filters out ambient sounds such as car horns, subway wheels, or street noise. In contrast to ANC, the headphones can switch to a transparent mode, allowing you to clearly hear the surrounding sounds without removing the headphones from your head. The weight of the structure is 263 grams, the headband is lined with soft foam material, and the ear cushions are lined with leatherette, which should have a positive effect on comfort during prolonged wear.
