Intelligent Auto-Selection 
Not all ambient noise is the same. Fully automatic AI Noise Canceling circuitry automatically 
selects the optimal noise canceling (for aircraft, train or office) through analysis of available 
ambient noise. 
Wearing Comfort
The ultra-compact design of a Balanced Armature (BA) driver allows for a natural in-ear fit and 
improved, long-term comfort.
Smart Charge System
While the XBA-NC85D earbuds enable music playback just like conventional headphones, they 
are charged by connecting the audio jack to a USB interface, just like a smart phone or digital 
media player.
Noise Isolation
Noise isolation earbuds (Included: Small, Medium, and Large) not only provide a comfortable, 
snug fit, but also utilize pressure relieving urethane foam to further reduce ambient noise.
Accessories
Travel case, USB charge adaptor, in-flight plug adapter, cord adjuster, and clip.
