What is Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling?
Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling – or Hybrid ANC for short – is your golden ticket to total focus. It combines the best of both worlds: feedforward and feedback ANC. Sounds difficult, but it's not. With feedforward ANC, microphones on the outside of your headphones pick up ambient sound before it reaches your ears. And microphones on the inside pick up the sound that has already reached your ear with feedback ANC.
Together, they ensure that you can block out both low humming sounds and higher tones. Think of the hum of an airplane and the buzz in a busy café. Hybrid ANC is therefore ideal if you are often on the go or work in noisy environments.
Explanation and the differences between what Hybrid Noise Cancelling is
Hybrid ANC differs from other forms of noise cancelling in that it combines two technologies. Here's the difference in a nutshell:
• Feedforward ANC: microphones on the outside → good against high tones.
• Feedback ANC: microphones on the inside → good against lower tones.
• Hybrid ANC: both microphones → tackles a wider range of sounds.
The result? A much fuller and more effective noise suppression. You experience silence, even if the world around you is busy and chaotic. However, the performance of Hybrid ANC also depends on the fit of your headphones, the chipset, and the operating system. So check carefully which model suits you.
