Qualcomm Offers New Ultra-Low Power Bluetooth Audio SoCs for Truly Wireless ANC Development

With its previous generation of QCC SoCs for Bluetooth true wireless earbuds development, Qualcomm enabled virtually every single mobile and CE brand to finally create products able to compete with Apple's massively successful AirPods, still the market leader by a wide margin. Then Apple introduced its AirPods Pro with ANC and its market share expanded even more. Now Qualcomm launched a new generation of SoCs combining hybrid ANC and other technologies to enable brands to design new competitive TWS products.

1MORE, the Chinese premium consumer audio company, announced that its new True Wireless ANC In-Ear earbuds are now officially available in the US. Featuring a dynamic driver combined with a balanced armature, two levels of active noise cancelation, pass-through mode, and a wireless charging option, the 1MORE True Wireless ANC is also the first TWS product pending THX Certification, and are available now on the company's own website and Amazon.com for $199.99 MSRP.

CES 2020 will be remembered as the strongest show for true wireless stereo product announcements so far, and also a pivotal moment for technology evolution in the segment. Among the first companies to make a strong statement at CES 2020 was Panasonic - and its affiliated brand Technics - with three different products, two of which already feature one of the most advanced Hybrid Noise-Cancelling Technology platforms currently available.

Dialog Semiconductor announced the DA740x, a family of highly-integrated audio codec chips that deliver best-in-class active noise cancellation (ANC), providing optimal audio performance in any environment to the rapidly-growing wireless headphones market. According to the British semiconductor company, the DA740x chips are able to deliver superior active noise cancellation – no matter how noisy the environment – with twice the audio quality and half the power consumption as competitive solutions.
