However, the drawback to such speakers is that they lack the ability to move sufficient air mass to produce the quality of bass most listeners prefer. And while Dynamic drivers provide excellent bass by moving significant amounts of air, due to their mass, they cannot provide the crystal clear mid and high frequencies of which Planar Magnetics are capable. By utilizing both Dynamic and Planar Magnetic speakers, Noble FoKus Apollo provides the clarity needed while retaining the bass demanded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Hybrid ANC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHybrid ANC is a type of active noise cancellation that uses microphones on both the inside and outside of the headphone to cancel out ambient noise.
