Active Noise Cancelling and Stay-Aware Mode

Icon ANC automatically activates Active Noise Cancelling when the headphones are powered on. The onboard controls can be used to switch between:

• Active Noise Cancelling

• ANC Off

• Stay-Aware Mode

The strength of the ANC and Stay-Aware functions can be adjusted through the Skullcandy app. Once selected, the preferred level remains saved when the headphones are switched off and powered on again.

Personal Sound and Skullcandy App

The Skullcandy app provides access to additional features and sound customisation, including:

• Personal Sound by Mimi® hearing profile

• Adjustable Active Noise Cancelling

• Adjustable Stay-Aware Mode

• Music, Bass Boost and Podcast EQ presets

• Custom five-band equaliser

• Customisable button functions

• Low-Latency Audio Mode

• Multipoint Pairing controls

• Remote camera shutter function

Personal Sound by Mimi® uses a guided hearing assessment to create an audio profile adapted to the listener’s individual hearing.

Multipoint Pairing

Multipoint Pairing allows Icon ANC to connect to two compatible devices at the same time.

For example, you can watch a video on a laptop and answer an incoming call from a connected smartphone. The headphones automatically prioritise the call and return to the previous audio source after the call ends. Audio cannot play from both devices simultaneously.

Clear Voice Smart Microphone

The Clear Voice Smart Mic uses voice-isolation processing to help separate the speaker’s voice from irregular background sounds, such as conversations in cafés, offices and airports.

This feature is designed to improve voice clarity during phone calls, video meetings and online communication.

Important Information

Icon ANC has an on-ear design, meaning the ear cushions rest against the ears rather than surrounding them like over-ear headphones.

The IPX4 rating provides protection against sweat and light water splashes, but the headphones are not waterproof and should not be submerged or used while swimming.

Battery life is measured under controlled conditions. Actual performance may vary depending on ANC level, volume, Bluetooth connection, low-latency mode and other enabled functions.
