Specifically engineered to immerse the listener in their music, movies or games with incredible clarity, powerful bass and spectacular treble, these headphones ensure content is supplemented with premium audio.
Hybrid active noise cancellation utilises internal and external microphones to provide a personal and more intimate listening experience, allowing the listener to escape from noisier environments on the go or in the office. Audio quality remains consistent when ANC is activated, even at lower volumes, to ensure premium sound with no longer term effects on hearing.

Twin pairing mode allows for seamless switching between two separate connected Bluetooth devices, perfect for taking calls on a business phone or playing video content from a laptop before returning to the main source, without missing a moment between both sources.
The BNX-80s provide up to 50 hours of battery life while using Bluetooth from a single 100% charge of around LI hours, ideal for even the longest journeys or holidays, or up to 35 hours when ANC and Bluetooth are activated in parallel for all day power.
A lightweight, ergonomic design allows for positioning on a variety of head shapes using the cushioned adjustable headband which also relieves the occasional pressure experienced from some headphones. The soft, protein leather ear pads provide a snug fit and total comfort even during longer periods of use. The ergonomic, swivel structure means the BNX-80s can be simply folded for portability or for storage in the durable carry case.
