B&O PLAY Launches Earphones with External Noise Control
Published2017.07.17 17:1015dB reduction in low-frequency noise
B&O PLAY, which inherits the signature sound of Bang&Olufsen, has announced the launch of 'Beoplay E4,' a premium in-ear earphone with enhanced noise cancellation functionality.
The new product features Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation technology and its most distinctive characteristic is that it reduces low-frequency noise by 15dB more than the previous 'Beoplay H3 ANC.'
Additionally, the newly added Transparency mode controls external noise, allowing users to hear outside sounds without removing the earphones. The principle works by microphones mounted both inside and outside the earphone reading external noise, then analyzing and controlling it.
Refined design and excellent durability are also strong points. The new product features a pocket-sized rectangular ANC controller, and with aluminum and rubber materials applied, it boasts a soft feel and robustness.
Operation is also simple. Volume control and call reception are possible via remote control, and 'Hybrid ANC mode' and 'Transparency mode' can be set through the ANC controller. The controller has a built-in battery for ANC and Transparency functions, and can be charged via USB cable.
A B&O PLAY official stated, "The new product is a premium earphone for those who want to escape ambient noise and focus solely on music," and added, "With further enhanced ANC functionality and convenient operation, users can easily experience Bang&Olufsen's signature sound anytime, anywhere."

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
