If you’re looking to take things to the next level, turn on the noise-canceling feature to enjoy uninterrupted pleasure no matter your favorite genre of music.
Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
One of the standout features of the Focus A5 is its Hybrid ANC technology. This is powered by 4 built-in microphones, which work together to reduce ambient noise by up to 45dB. Whether you’re on a crowded train or working in a bustling cafe, the ANC significantly lowers outside noise, allowing you to focus on your audio.
Connectivity and Controls
With Bluetooth 5.2, the Focus A5 provides a stable connection up to 10 meters away. Pairing is seamless, and these headphones support a multipoint connection, allowing you to connect to two devices simultaneously—perfect for users switching between a laptop and a smartphone. Controls on the earcup let you adjust volume, skip tracks, and toggle ANC on and off without reaching for your device.
Battery Life
Battery life is a major plus here. With ANC off, the Focus A5 offers up to 75 hours of playback, while turning on ANC provides around 45 hours—enough to last a few days of regular use. When the battery runs low, a quick USB-C charge of 5 min can give you another 5 hours of listening time.
