- In order to meet the users' strong demands for noise reduction intensity, our team spent a lot of time in the research stage to study how to improve the noise reduction intensity. Finally, we developed our Pamu Quiet ANC, of which noise reduction can reach 40dB and it's ahead of the industry. Our second challenge was to satisfy the retro look while still being fashionable and technological. Inspired by light vintage pocket-watch style and taking leather & metal materials as the core design elements, the product creates new interaction experience between device and users.
