The Initial Problem: Aircraft Noise
It all began on a 1978 flight to Europe. Dr. Amar Bose was trying out a new set of airline-supplied headphones and found that he couldn't really enjoy the sound with the roar of engines in the background. He wondered: Could you use headphones to reduce noise so you could hear music better?
Calculations begun on that flight indicated it was possible. Those calculations led to an entire research group dedicated to noise reduction technology. But it took more than a decade before the first Bose™ Acoustic Noise Cancelling™ headset was a reality.
Less Noise. More Clarity
Bose noise reduction headphones may look like ordinary headphones on the outside, but that's where the similarity ends. The technologies inside are a true advancement, used by the U.S. military and private pilots around the world.
A microphone in each earcup "hears" sounds an instant before they can reach the ears. Advanced electronics recognize what the listener wants to hear—a message from the control tower, music, an in-flight movie or nothing at all—and compares it to sound the listener doesn't want. The driver powered with the Bose patented electronics within the ear cup then calculate and generate a signal opposite to the unwanted noise, combined with the passive attenuation of the headset itself dramatically reducing it while preserving the desired music, speech or tranquility. Standard headphones are designed only to deliver audio and are not intended for use in loud environment. They do little to diminish background noise.
These are complemented with the proprietary TriPort™ headphone technology to ensure delivery of quality audio performance irrespective of the environment you are enjoying music in.
We originally designed headsets for use on planes. But once we released our first consumer headphones, owners told us they enjoyed using them to listen to music in other places—like trains, buses, offices and at home. From a routine flight to Europe arose an innovation that is making many people's lives more pleasant.
TriPort™ Headphone Technology
A problem with most conventional headphones is that the small drivers in the ear cups are unable to create deep low notes. Bose overcomes this challenge with proprietary technology and innovative design. TriPort™ headphone technology allows the driver to create deep lows while keeping the design small and lightweight.
The result is a pair of comfortable headphones that deliver full, balanced low notes from your music.
