Samson unites its experience in professional acoustic design with the latest ambient noise filtration technology to introduce the new RTE X Active Noise Cancelling Headphones. Featuring a lightweight, over-ear design with ultra-soft cushioning, the RTE X headphones are ideal for enjoying powerful, studio-quality audio with superior sonic clarity in loud environments and extended travel settings. The RTE Xs feature premium 40mm drivers with rare earth neodymium magnets. Upon activation, the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology enables the headphone drivers to create 20dB (90%) of external noise reduction. As a result, you'll hear all the nuances of your music as sound engineers and producers originally intended. When necessary interruptions arise, the RTE X headphones are equipped with a specialized 1-touch Monitor feature. This temporarily disables the ANC for when your attention is needed. The ANC can be used for over 20 hours via a single AAA battery. For increased portability, both ear cups pivot 90-degree to allow the RTE Xs to sit flat within the included protective zippered carry case.
