Comparison HyperX Cloud Orbit S vs HyperX Cloud Orbit

The presence of a noise reduction system in its own headphone microphone.

In accordance with the name, such a system is designed to eliminate extraneous noise - primarily during conversations. It is usually based on an electronic filter that passes the sound of a human voice and cuts off background sounds such as city noise, the rumble of wind in the microphone grille, etc. As a result, even in noisy environments, thanks to the noise reduction of the microphone, speech is clear and intelligible; True, the system inevitably introduces distortions into the final sound, but they are not critical in this case.

— ENC. ENC (Environment Noise Cancellation) technology significantly reduces ambient noise with directional microphones. It is used both in gaming devices so that gamers can easily communicate in voice chat, and in TWS earphone models so that you can comfortably talk on the phone in a noisy environment.

— cVc. Microphone noise reduction cVc (Clear Voice Capture) is an advanced technology that is found mainly in expensive headphone models. cVc algorithms effectively suppress echo and noise from the environment. Sound processing using this technology is carried out at several levels at once - the algorithm determines the reference signal-to-noise level, automatically adjusts speech to the desired volume level, applies adaptive equalizers to process the entire voice, as well as specialized filters to remove...low-frequency bubbling, sibilants and hissing.

The presence of a built-in power amplifier in the headphones.

The main idea of this function is to remove some of the load from the amplifier used in the signal source. This helps to reduce distortion and improve sound quality. In addition, the headphone amplifier may provide additional tools for adjusting the sound — for example, an equalizer with a set of presets. On the other hand, these headphones are expensive, and the amplifier requires a power source (although many models can work without power — in the format of ordinary headphones). In addition, the described advantages are relevant mainly for high-end equipment, and even there they are not required so often. Therefore, there are relatively few headphones with a built-in amplifier, and almost all of them belong to the premium class.
