Audio-Technica ATH-CC500BT2(E) Wireless Bluetooth Earphones, Cartilage Conduction, Open-Ear Headphones, Multi-Point Support, Noise Reduction,

This second-generation model utilizes the third hearing pathway, cartilage conduction*, and is certified by the Technical Standards Association (Giteki) (2.4GHz band). It features a vibration mechanism that utilizes the cartilage conduction pathway in the ear. Because you can hear sound without blocking your ear canal, you can safely listen to music or audiobooks while doing other things. Unlike standard earphones, these headphones are not inserted into the ear canal, so they are less likely to cause ear pain even with extended use. They also prevent your ear canal from becoming sweaty, making them safer to use. Equipped with a next-generation vibration driver for improved sound quality and volume: Equipped with a next-generation vibration driver (PAT.P) that delivers improved sound quality and volume compared to the previous model. Simply place the earbuds against the cartilage called the tragus to enjoy high-quality listening and clear calls. The driver uses our proprietary [A.P.S.S] technology to prevent sound quality degradation due to external vibrations and suppress unpleasant vibrations during bass reproduction, allowing you to experience a wide sound field. Industry-class: The long-lasting battery provides approximately 20 hours of continuous playback on a full charge (as of October 2024, according to Audio-Technica research). Even if you forget to charge, a 10-minute charge will give you approximately 120 minutes* of continuous playback. Your headphones will be ready to go while you get to work. Equipped with AI Noise Reduction Technology (AIVC) developed by intelliGo: During online meetings and calls, the headphones feature high-performance AI Noise Reduction Technology (AIVC) from intelliGo that extracts only the speaker's voice and delivers it to the other party with natural, clear sound quality. By eliminating unnecessary noise other than the voice, communication is smoother. Designed to reduce strain on the ears and reduce fatigue even with extended use: While retaining the lightweight, touch-to-the-touch feel unique to cartilage conduction headphones, the neckband has been reduced in size and weight, achieving optimal weight balance and making the headphones even smaller and lighter than the previous model, the ATH-CC500BT. This reduces fatigue even when worn for extended periods, maintaining comfort.
