Nokia Purity Pro - switching on and off noise canc...

Nokia Purity Pro - switching on and off noise cancellation manually

Hi,

 

Yesterday I received my Nokia Purity Pro headphones and while I'm really impressed with the build and the sound quality, I was surprised to learn that there seems to be no way to turn on and off noise cancellation manually (like it used to be on the BH-905i). 

 

This is a shame for two reasons:

 

- First of all I noticed that the sound quality is even better when the headphones are cable-connected and the active noise cancellation is thus switched off. When chilling at home, there's absolutely no need for me to have noise cancellation turned on, which is why I would like the option to pass it and opt for the better sound quality instead.

 

- Second, when travelling, I would like to cable-connect the headphones in order to save some battery power (not on the headphones, but on my Lumia 920) while at the same time I still want to be able to enjoy the benefits of active noise cancelling in a noisy environment (like on a train or plane).

 

I'm pretty sure those two scenarios aren't too far-fetched and many people will come across them while using their headphones. So here comes my question: Is there any way for you guys to add the option to manually turn on and off noise cancellation through some firmware update later on or is this is not possible at all?

 

Thanks for your efforts.

Hi Mazze. The ANC can be switched of by simultaneously pressing <previous track> and <less volume> keys.

To turn ANC on again refo the above. Note - the ANC will be turned on automatically again if you remove the headset from your head and put it back on. The idea is that you really do not need to turn ANC off. If you do you do it some special occasions. I hope this helps and give you the functionality you need.

Cheers, Jani Boström
