1khz isn't a measure of loudness, but a measure of sound frequency. Maybe you meant 10dB?

10 dB means a barely audible sound pressure level like someone breathing or such. Nonetheless, something seems fishy there.

Sorry for the dryness above, Nirvalica - I wasn't misrepresenting, that is exactly what their press materials promise. I didn't want to make this drip too heavily in snark, but I probably underfed the joke as a result. -Ross

Indeed, Silentium delivers ANC up to 1khz, where other headphone do not go above 500-600hz.
See the difference in the following: http://www.silentium.com/QB-Brochure.pdf

Silentium delivers ANR of 12-16 dB (SWL) compared to only 4-7 dB (SWL) of others.
