Interesting technology, but I won't be able to enjoy it. I'm one of the (seemingly few) people who receive a nasty headache from active noise cancelling technology. I'm not sure how they wouldn't give you a headache, considering how they work.

So it's like RTX voice, but runs on an NPU?
If it sips power, then I think it would be a great way to quiet down laptops and gaming PCs.
