In a noisy office, on a call in a bustling café or while searching for a moment of zen before bed, distractions like background noise can transform the simplest of tasks into insurmountable challenges. Filtering out that noise isn’t just helpful – it’s essential for maintaining clarity and balance in daily life.
Janina, noise-canceling user, understands this fact full well. Whether she’s coordinating team efforts in her job, managing complex timelines or planning personal events, her ability to stay focused is paramount to her success. Noise-cancelling technology plays a crucial role in helping her maintain that focus – not just at work, but throughout her day.
When I sit down and put on my headphones, it’s like closing a door on all the chaos and opening a window to clarity – noise canceling doesn’t just mute the world, it amplifies my thinking.
By turning down the unwanted noise and turning up what she wants to hear, modern active noise-cancelling (ANC) innovations create a buffer from the chaos. It keeps people like Janina grounded during meetings, engaged in conversations and present in every moment that matters. For her, it’s not just about comfort and convenience – ANC is an essential tool for staying composed, connected and on-point in a world full of distractions.
Turning up the clarity
At the heart of these mini anchors in the sea of everyday chaos are advanced MEMS microphones, which act as sensors, transforming incoming pressure waves into analog or digital outputs. Infineon has taken MEMS microphones to the next level to enable world-class ANC and supreme sound quality thanks to its unique patented SDM technology. Standing for sealed-dual membrane, SDM microphones are more robust against water and dust and capture a wider range of sound pressure levels, meaning Infineon’s microphones have the lowest sound distortion and can eliminate outside noises.

Beyond noise canceling: discover where our acoustic sensors are making a difference
For starters, numerous healthcare devices depend on the same technology. As crucial component in hearing aids, they improve speech clarity for those with hearing loss and also lie at the heart of medical diagnostic devices to detect subtle changes in respiratory or cardiac sounds. And because MEMS microphones are in low-power mode up to 90% of the time, they promote well-being with optimized energy efficiency.
Modern cars are equipped with MEMS microphones as well, enabling advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) by improving voice recognition and in-car communication. Plus, the tiny sensors enable a range of innovative audio features in all kinds of smart devices.
Industry-leading performance: XENSIV™ MEMS microphones
With high precision, exceptional signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and ultra-low self-noise, XENSIV™ MEMS microphones are optimized for active noise cancellation (ANC), beamforming and voice-user interfaces. They provide low distortion and high-fidelity sound in compact form factors such as earbuds, noise-canceling headphones, conference systems, laptops, tablets and smart speakers. Their ultra-low power consumption extends battery life, ensuring efficient operation in always-on devices while meeting the growing demand for energy-efficient IoT solutions.
XENSIV™ MEMS microphones use Sealed Dual Membrane (SDM) technology to block water and dust and thus prevent failures caused by mechanical blockage and electrical leakage. Their design ensures reliable performance in harsh environments via minimal mesh protection. As the world’s best-selling MEMS microphones, they enhance safety and efficiency, meeting AEC-Q103-003 standards for in-car voice control, ANC and hands-free communication. With billions deployed globally, XENSIV™ sensors drive innovation in automotive safety, electrification, industrial automation and smart applications.
Cutting out the noise matters to me.
