What is cartilage conduction?
Cartilage conduction is a newly discovered way of listening that uses the cartilage conduction pathway of your ear to transmit sound. Unlike other methods such as bone conduction, which sends sounds from the vibrations of the bones of your skull, cartilage conduction works by transmitting sound through the cartilage of the ear.
Featuring high-performance intelliGo AI noise reduction technology (AIVC ) ensures that your voice comes through clearly during online meetings and calls, by filtering out unwanted background noise.
This advanced AI technology isolates your voice, providing natural and comfortable communication even in noisy environments. With power-saving support, AIVC allows for up to 10 hours of continuous talk time, while wind noise suppression keeps your calls crystal clear—even when you’re on the move or in busy surroundings.
The headphones retail for RRP AUD 299 and are available on the Audio-Technica website.
