![]() ![]() It’s on the right ear cup, slightly forward of the bottom. The sensitive spot for NFC was clearly marked on the headphones. Pairing was a bit of a challenge to begin with because I decided to use the NFC facility. I had a nifty new Google Pixel 2 phone to get into – review coming next week – and unmetered Spotify via Optus on the SIM in that phone, so I decided to make that my music player. They swivel and fold down flat, so the case is only 54mm thick, allowing it to slip into your luggage or a brief case fairly easily. The headphones come in a nice, leather-look protective case, finished in black with grey trim around the zipper. The supplied cable has an in-line mute switch. Also supplied with the headphones is a two pin airplane adaptor for the wired connection. The power cable supplied with the headphones is only 40cm long, so bring a longer one on the plane with you. And if not? Unlike many, the headphones just keep on working when plugged into power for charging. Whatever, it’s going to be enough to cover most flight legs.

DPS adds depth, clarity, definition, presence and incredible stereo field imaging”. The processing algorithm employs “120 calibration points that optimizes any audio signal in real time. The company Bongiovi Acoustics is based in Florida and DPS – Digital Power Station – appears to be a well developed system developed for use initially in computer systems, but since expanded to a range of audio systems. In addition to that function, the SMATE headphones include Bongiovi Acoustics DPS Techology. They process it so that it matches the sound that will make it through the headphone ear cups, and feed it back into the actual sound produced by the headphones, but with the wave form flipped so that it cancels out that ambient sound. And, as the name suggests, they provide active noise cancellation.Īctive noise cancellation works by using microphones to capture the ambient sound – or noise.
