Audio-Technica ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint® Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones

Audio-Technica’s ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint® Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones reduce distracting background noise by 85% while offering the superior sound that makes Audio-Technica a world-leading pro audio company.

Engineered to create a comfortable listening environment in areas with high ambient noise, these in-ear headphones feature a miniature microphone in each earpiece that picks up ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.). Electronics in the control box create a noise-canceling wave that is 180° out of phase with the ambient noise. This wave acts like a noise eraser: it cancels out the annoying sounds that surround you without diminishing the audio you want to hear. The result…a peaceful enclave to enjoy the music or movies of your choice.

Wherever you happen to find yourself—on a busy subway, in a noisy office, or settling in for a long flight—there is no better way to experience audio or immerse yourself a quiet environment. Discover our QuietPoint. And find your own.

How do active noise-canceling headphones work?

Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint™ headphones use active noise-canceling technology to reduce distracting background noise by up to 85%, providing an exceptionally comfortable and restful listening environment in areas with high ambient noise. Active noise-canceling headphones have components not present in ordinary headphones:

  • Microphone – Noise-canceling headphones feature a miniature microphone in the earpiece that picks up ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.)
  • Noise-canceling circuitry – Electronics in the ear piece create a noise-canceling wave that is 180° out of phase with the ambient noise. This wave acts like a noise eraser: it cancels out the annoying sounds that surround you without diminishing the audio you want to hear. The result…a peaceful enclave to enjoy the music or movies of your choice.
