ag WHP01K Wireless ANC Headphones

High-Quality Wireless Headphones for Audio Enthusiasts

"WHP01K is a wireless headphone in the K series that aims for sound quality suitable as a secondary device for audio enthusiasts, and it's the first headphone product from the ag brand. In typical noise-cancelling products, the built-in drivers (speaker components) emit special sounds to cancel out external noise, separate from the music or audio being played. This tends to put a strain on the drivers and negatively affects sound quality. Additionally, many wireless earphones and headphones rely heavily on software equalizers for sound adjustment, which can cause listening fatigue, especially in the high frequency range. To avoid this, many products overemphasize the low range, resulting in an unbalanced sound.

Unique Sound Adjustment Method

WHP01K thoroughly pursues the acoustic characteristics of the drivers and adopts a unique method of only slightly correcting the problematic high-frequency areas caused by Bluetooth® with an equalizer. This achieves a balance between sound quality that can satisfy even audiophiles and noise-cancelling performance. Moreover, it's designed to allow the noise-cancelling function to be used independently, not just during music listening. You can use it with only noise-cancelling on, like high-performance earmuffs, or in combination with the microphone function for calls and web conferences in remote work, allowing you to shut out external noise while clearly hearing the other person's voice.

Advanced Bluetooth Connectivity

In addition to SBC and AAC, Bluetooth® also supports aptX LL™, a codec that is less prone to interruptions, offers high quality, and has low latency. This allows you to enjoy not only music but also games and videos comfortably. It also supports multipoint connection, enabling simultaneous connection with multiple devices such as PCs and smartphones, allowing you to switch between them while staying connected.

Premium Design and Build Quality

ag products share a common design concept of high-quality feel as 'objects'. WHP01K is composed of multiple different materials, but careful attention has been paid to materials and surface treatments to achieve a unified design, with fine tone adjustments. The body surface has a matte finish, making it resistant to fingerprints and oils, and less prone to visible dirt.

We have created a 'standard' headphone in this price range that combines high quality, fatigue-free sound, and noise-cancelling functionality.

Audio Brand Final Supervision

The sound quality is fully supervised by final, a Japanese audio brand. By thoroughly pursuing the acoustic characteristics of the drivers (speaker components), we have suppressed the easily fatiguing sound quality typical of Bluetooth® and achieved a clear sound with a rich sense of soundstage.

Color Variations

Available in BLACK, DARK GRAY, and CREAM. Although composed of multiple different materials, careful attention has been paid to materials and surface treatments to achieve a unified design, with fine tone adjustments.

Matte Finish

The body surface has a matte finish, making it resistant to fingerprints and oils, and less prone to visible dirt.

Hybrid Noise-Cancelling Technology

By turning on the noise-cancelling function, noise such as train, airplane, or car sounds, or everyday life sounds are cancelled out, allowing you to enjoy music in a quiet space. The noise-cancelling function can also be used on its own, making it useful not only for music listening but also for calls and remote meetings.

<Mechanism of hybrid noise-cancelling> 1. Sensors (microphones) collect and analyze surrounding noise. 2. The headphones reproduce special sounds with waveforms inverse to the analyzed noise from the body speakers. 3. The noise is cancelled out, making surrounding noise less audible.

Hands-Free Calling and Telework Compatibility

Equipped with a high-performance microphone, it's comfortable for smartphone calls and web conferences for telework. Calls can be made while using the noise-cancelling function, allowing you to hear the other person's voice clearly while shutting out external noise.

aptX LL™ Support

In addition to SBC and AAC, it also supports aptX LL™, a codec that is less prone to interruptions, offers high quality, and has low latency. This allows you to enjoy not only music but also games and videos comfortably.

Multi-Fit Housing Mechanism

The housing rotates flexibly up, down, left, and right, comfortably fitting various head shapes! It fits snugly especially around the back of the ear where gaps tend to form. This not only produces powerful sound with clear bass but also prevents sound leakage. Additionally, the low-rebound ear pads are designed for comfort during long periods of use.

Long Battery Life

A single charge allows for up to 35 hours of music playback.

Wired Connection Option

By connecting the included cable, it can be used as a wired headphone. You can continue to enjoy music even if the battery runs out.

Foldable Design for Portability

The headband can be folded for compact storage, making it convenient to carry. Comes with a dedicated pouch.
