Noise. Gard is an active noise compensation system which Sennheiser originally developed for use by pilots who have to rely on good sound quality and efficient protection against ambient noise even in highnoise environments.

Gard principle thanks to the use of optimised circuitry design and even more efficient processors. It also uses better quality microphones which enable more sophisticated pickup of unwanted noise. Specially developed filter algorithms enable improved active noise compensation of up to 90% (23 d. B). It is of course also possible to use these headphones passively i.e. without Noise. Gard and without batteries. Users of a PXC 450 who wish to communicate with their neighbours can do so without taking off the headphones: when the Talk. Through function is activated professional quality microphones mounted on the outside of the headphones pick up all acoustic signals in the immediate vicinity.
