Developed in collaboration with Dynaudio, the sound experience these earphones deliver with deeper bass, delicate treble and clear vocals is truly exceptional. Plus, the advanced noise-cancelling technology, combined with a high-performance chip, increases the depth of noise cancellation to fourty-nine decibels. This reduces noise, blocks out chaos, and allows users to enjoy music in an immersive way. Our favourite part is the sliding volume controls which means you don't have to touch your device for adjusting the volume anymore-  sliding up increases the volume, while sliding down decreases the volume.
