ANC & Transparency Comparison
Interactive comparison of TWS active noise cancellation and transparency mode performance.
Lower SPL = better noise cancellation. Lines further below show stronger blocking.
What Am I Looking At?
Understanding the Frequencies:
- Sub-Bass (20-60Hz) Deep rumble - subway trains, heavy trucks, airplane engines
- Bass (60-250Hz) Low hum - bus engines, traffic noise, air conditioning, washing machines
- Low-Mid (250-500Hz) Drone sounds - road noise, distant traffic, office HVAC systems
- Midrange (500-2kHz) Human voices - conversations, TV dialogue, phone calls, restaurant chatter
- Upper-Mid (2kHz-4kHz) Clarity range - keyboard typing, cutlery, footsteps, door closing
- Treble (4kHz-10kHz) High sounds - dishes clanking, paper rustling, sibilant speech (s/sh sounds)
- Air (10kHz+) Very high - electronic beeps, high-pitched squeaks, cymbal shimmer
How to Read the Graph:
For ANC Mode:
Lower SPL (Sound Pressure Level) = Better noise cancellation
The further below the baseline the line drops, the more noise is being blocked at that frequency.
For Transparency Mode:
Higher SPL = More sound passthrough
Lines closer to the baseline mean you can hear your environment more naturally.
Lines above the baseline indicate amplification, which can create white noise or an unnatural sense of sound.
The goal is natural sound reproduction - you want to hear voices and ambient noise as they actually sound.
