PXC 360 BT PXC 360 BT The PXC 360 BT headphones provide undisturbed music enjoyment in noisy environments – even without the constrictions of cables. Their circumaural, closed design and the latest active noise compensation technology (NoiseGard) make the PXC 360 BT especially suitable for use with in-flight entertainment systems. Due to their active and passive attenuation of ambient noise, they let you enjoy music even in noisy environments. Bluetooth The PXC 360 BT comply with the new Bluetooth 2.
PXC 360 BT NoiseGard™ The NoiseGard active noise compensation system is based on the principle of cancelling out sound using “anti-sound” (phase-inverted sound). Tiny microphones pick up low-frequency ambient noise (up to 1 kHz) near the ear. The NoiseGard electronics use this noise to generate a sound wave which is the exact opposite (IE: at the same level but polarity reversed – 180° out-of-phase), the effect being that the polarity reversed signal cancels most of the outside noise.

Resetting the settings of the PXC 360 BT apt-X audio coding Outstanding audio quality apt-X technology is what wireless audio has been waiting for. With apt-X audio coding, you can be assured of crisp, pure and full stereo sound. It allows you to not only hear, but experience and feel the audio as it was intended. Utilizing apt-X, Bluetooth can now offer wireless audio quality that is indistinguishable from the highest quality wired connection.
apt-X audio coding apt-X key features: 28 • Blind listening tests with industry reference audiences have shown that apt-X over Bluetooth is indistinguishable from audio delivered over wired technology. Unlike psychoacoustic-based technologies such as MP3 or AAC, apt-X can be used to transport audio without degrading the audio quality. With MPEG/AAC compression, the encoding process is destructive and content perceived as “irrelevant” is discarded.
SRS WOW HD SRS WOW HD Remarkable enhancement for mono and stereo playback SRS WOW HD™ improves the dynamic audio performance of compressed and uncompressed audio by expanding the size of the audio image and creating a deep, rich bass response. The patented techniques in SRS WOW HD widen the horizontal sound field and raise the vertical sound image, retrieving information lost in the mixing process to create a more natural audio experience.
