Paradigm Electronics Inc. announces its H15NC and H15 on-ear headphones, part of the SHIFT series. These on-ear headphones deliver the award-winning sound quality of Paradigm speakers and include a number of proprietary sound innovations. H15NC Active Noise Cancelling Headphones reduce engine noise from planes, trains and automobiles. Both headphones deliver the full audio spectrum to the ear with unbelievable clarity and perfect tonal balance. With in-line remote and microphone, they are compatible with Apple iPods, iPhones, iPads, as well as most mp3 players, smart phones, laptops, PCs and home stereo equipment.
Unlike most other speaker and headphone manufacturers, Paradigm has its own audio research and development facility, complete with a 36,000-cubic-foot anechoic chamber for taking accurate sound measurements. The company has multiple double-blind listening rooms used to test every product. Its unique understanding of what makes a speaker sound magical in a listening room is applied to the design of their on-ear headphones. In the course of the design, Paradigm designers employ an advanced Bruel and Kjaer Head and Torso Simulator (affectionately named Angelina) that acts as a human simulator, measuring sonic properties and the effect of sound on the ear, while helping with ergonomic design and perfecting frequency response.
H15NC headphones feature a proprietary active supra-aural noise cancelling technology. Its dual microphone design uses sophisticated mathematical algorithms to deliver a completely silent and distortion-free noise floor. The H15NC's onboard user interface with LED indicators allows easy access to the Noise Cancellation feature. Supple breathable leather earcups (H15NC) with Comfort-Tilt? adjustments and unique Flexi-Point? sliding adjustable headband on both models were purpose designed and rigorously tested for comfortable extended listening.
