LucaBaumann When you activate Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) on your earphones, you’re essentially engaging a process that not only reduces ambient noise but also subtly alters the sound profile of your music. Here’s why your earphones sound richer and deeper with ANC on:
1. ANC Impact on Audio: ANC uses microphones to pick up external sounds, then generates sound waves that cancel out these noises. This process can also slightly modify the earphone’s frequency response, often boosting bass and altering midrange and treble to compensate for any perceived loss in sound quality due to noise cancellation. This creates the richer, deeper sound you’re noticing.
2. Psychoacoustics: With ANC on, your brain perceives sound differently because external noise is reduced. This can make the bass seem more pronounced and the overall sound clearer, as there’s less external interference to compete with the audio from your earphones.
