This means that, with the OV-1B, you can see your music as well as hear it. in beautiful high-resolution.

The Active Noise Cancelling can be switched off when not required, and you can also use the headphones wired. if you’ve forgotten to charge the battery and need to use them in passive mode.

I like having those choices. Furthermore, it makes the OV-1B more flexible and usbale in more situations.

Control on tap

They also have a phone ‘answer’ function, so you can answer a call on your device merely by touching a tap button on the side of the headphones.

These tap buttons are also used for fast adjusting of volume and skipping tracks.
