The New Audio-Technica ATH-S300BT with ANC Offers an Impressive 90-Hour Playback Time on a Full Charge.
Audio-Technica has been around for 60 years, and they believe this milestone deserves a fitting celebration. Enter the launch of the ATH-S300BT headphones, which offer up to 90 hours of wireless music playback and feature digital hybrid noise cancellation. This allows you to listen undisturbed during your flight or train journey. Practically, after a quick three-minute charge, you can listen for already 2.5 hours. In addition to active noise cancellation, there is also a transparency mode that keeps you aware of travel announcements and allows you to have natural conversations without removing your headphones.
Design
The neutral yet stylish finish of the Audio-Technica ATH-S300BT is characterized by what the manufacturer describes as a “striking marbled terrazzo pattern that adds a touch of luxury to your journey. The ergonomically designed ear cushions, expertly crafted for ultimate comfort and style, feel as light and comfortable as your favorite cashmere sweater, along with the compact, foldable ear cups.”
Touch Control
The built-in microphone ensures crystal-clear conversations. Conveniently, the user-friendly touch controls are integrated into the ear cups. With a press of a button, you can play music, adjust the volume, and more. Additionally, the headphones support Siri and Google Assistant for hands-free control on the go. Internally, the headphones are equipped with 40mm drivers, which according to the manufacturer, deliver excellent performance across the entire frequency range. They also reveal stunning details in all music over an uninterrupted Bluetooth connection.
Low Latency Mode
“In addition to detailed sound reproduction, the Audio-Technica ATH-S3000BT also offers a low latency mode. This mode minimizes sound delay when watching videos or gaming, allowing you to listen to content from any source with the required precision and speed. Additionally, Multipoint Pairing ensures a smooth transition between different audio sources, allowing users to connect two devices simultaneously with the headphones,” according to the manufacturer.
For those who prefer a wired connection, a 1.2m cable is included, featuring an inline microphone and control buttons. The surprisingly pleasant price remains: the ATH-S3000BT is available for just €119. More information is available on the manufacturer’s website.
