Soon, active noise-cancelling technology won't just be for over-ear headphones. — AFP Relaxnews
Qualcomm's new truly wireless earbud chips could bring active noise-cancelling technology to the segment as standard.
While noise-cancelling technology is popularly used in premium over-ear and on-ear headphones available throughout the world, few truly wireless earbud models – none at a wallet-friendly price tag – adopt the tech, as the compact form factor makes it difficult to successfully implement. On March 25, however, Qualcomm introduced a pair of truly wireless earbud chips, an entry to mid-range option and a premium tier option, that will bring "improved robustness and connectivity, increased battery life and comfort, integrated dedicated hardware for Hybrid Qualcomm Active Noise Cancellation, voice assistant support and premium wireless sound and voice quality."
