Read these instructions before using the headphones, and keep the manual for future reference.
About ATH-ANC7b QuietPoint® Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Audio-Technica’s ATH-ANC7b QuietPoint® headphones use active noise-cancelling technology to
provide a comfortable listening environment in areas with high ambient noise. The headphones
feature a miniature microphone in each earpiece that picks up ambient noise (such as traffic,
air-handling systems, etc.) and creates a sound-cancelling signal to effectively block the noise.
From studio…to stage…to you
Audio-Technica equipment is used by major artists for studio recording and capturing live
performances on stage...allowing audiences to experience their work as clearly and fully as it was
intended. These headphones are designed to offer you the advances in electro-acoustic technology
that make Audio-Technica the choice of leading artists worldwide. Wherever you happen to find
yourself—in the comfort of your living room, in a noisy office, or settling in for a long flight—there is
no better way to experience audio or immerse yourself in a peaceful environment.
• Award-winning QuietPoint® active noise-cancelling technology reduces environmental
noise by 90%
• Arrive refreshed after a long flight, avoid distractions in a noisy office, or find peace & quiet in your living room
• Lightweight, compact design is ideal for travel
• Use for MP3, CD, DVD and in-flight entertainment systems; remove detachable cable for

treble and higher fidelity
• Audio functions (in passive mode) even without the battery
