6. How to use noise cancelling mode and ambient
awareness mode
You can select how you hear sounds from three modes: noise cancelling, ambient
awareness, and normal modes.
Noise cancelling mode
This function reduces the environmental noise you hear by generating an anti-
phase sound of external environmental noises (e.g. noise in vehicles and air-condi-
tioning sound in a room).
Ambient awareness mode
This mode makes it easier to hear ambient sounds so you can enjoy music while
still being aware of ambient sounds.
Switching modes
Press and hold the (
) button while the power of the headphones is OFF to turn the
power ON.

Note
• Press and hold the (
) button to turn the power OFF.
• Modes cannot be switched when the power of the headphones is OFF or when
you are using the provided headphone cord.
• You can also switch modes using the Pioneer Headphone APP.
• The mode previously used is not stored. When you turn ON the power, noise can-
celling mode will automatically be chosen.
<Notes for using noise cancelling mode>
• You may not feel the noise cancelling effect or noise may feel greater depending
on the type of noise or when you are in a quiet place.
• The noise cancelling effect may become less significant or a bleep sound may be
generated (acoustic feedback) depending on how you wear the headphones. In
this case, please change the headphones' position.
• Noise cancelling mode is the most effective against noises of low frequency
such as the noise of vehicles and air-conditioning. Not all sounds are eliminated
by using this mode.
• When used in a car, bus, or other vehicles, noise may be generated depending
on the road conditions.
• Noise may be generated due to the influence of a cellular phone. In this case,
distance the headphones from the cellular phone.
• Do not cover the mode-responsive microphone of the headphones with your
hand or any article. It may reduce the effect of both noise cancelling mode and
ambient awareness mode. It may also cause a bleep sound (acoustic feedback).
In this case, remove your hand or article from the microphone.
) button.
<Notes for using ambient awareness mode>
• Even when ambient awareness mode is used, you may not be able to hear ambi-
ent sounds depending on the ambient circumstances and type or volume of the
sound being played. Do not use the headphones in dangerous places where you
need to hear ambient sounds (e.g. roads that cars and bicycles go by).
• If you do not wear the headphones properly, ambient awareness mode may not
work normally. Be sure to wear the headphones properly.
