Like their name implies, the stone-colored Alpha Noise-Canceling Wireless Over-Ear Headphones from Cleer have been designed to deliver a clear audio experience, no matter where you might be. It does this using adaptive active noise cancellation technology, which takes in ambient noise and eliminates it, leaving you with only your music or other audio entertainment. The adaptive part is the ability of the Alpha to automatically adjust to the noise levels around you as you move through your day.
The concept of clear audio doesn t end with what you listen to. Cleer also engineered the Alpha headphones to make sure the audio you produce is clear as well. Qualcomm cVc (clear voice capture) dual beamforming microphones are integrated into the Alpha over-ear headphones, and work to focus on picking up your voice while reducing surrounding noise from being captured. If the battery is empty, or you want to listen to high-resolution files on your device, a 3.5mm jack provides an additional listening option.
High-Quality Immersive Audio
The 40mm ironless drivers in each earcup are capable of producing hi-res quality audio. This is further enhanced by Dirac Virtuo spatial audio technology to make you feel like you re in the center of a performance, simulating a much wider audio soundstage. To help make sure the audio source matches what the Alpha can product, Cleer equipped the headphones with support for Bluetooth 5.1 and Qualcomm aptX Adaptive technology on supported devices.
Ambient Mode
As immersive and enjoyable as active noise cancellation is, sometimes you need to interact with the outside world. Activate Ambient Mode and surrounding sound will be let back in. Within the Cleer+ app, you can adjust the levels of ambient noise and noise cancellation the Alpha changes to when in this mode.
Conversation Mode
When Ambient Mode isn t enough and you need to immediately focus on having a conversation or listen to an important announcement, just cover the right earcup with your hand. Within a second, Conversation Mode will be engaged. In this mode, your audio volume level is reduced to 10% and 100% of ambient sound is allowed back in. You ll conveniently remain in this mode until you hold your hand over the right earcup again to turn it off.
Auto Play/Pause
If you do take off your headset, Alpha will sense it and automatically pause audio playback. Alpha can also detect when you put them back on and will automatically restart playback when you do.
Cleer+ App
The mobile app is your Alpha control center, allowing you to fully customize your audio experience. You can use it to customize EQ settings, manage device controls, adjust noise cancellation/ambient sound levels, engage Dirac Spatial Audio, view remaining battery power, receive firmware updates, and more.
