The world\u2019s largest showcase for consumer electronics, CES 2017 will run from January 5\u20138 in Las Vegas. Last year over 177,000 people attended, and this year it\u2019s expected to be even bigger.\n\nAdding to the hype, we\u2019re debuting the new THX AAA\u2122 headphone amplifier for music, movies, and VR at this year\u2019s CES. This technology will completely revolutionize the way product engineers think about headphone design, providing superior audio quality with unimaginably low distortion and long battery life.\n\nHeadphone distortion: An age-old problem\n<\/strong>Every conventional headphone amplifier significantly distorts sound, producing static and noise that remind us we\u2019re listening to an artificial experience. Loud bass is particularly susceptible to distortion, crackling or buzzing when our media gets too intense. Fiddling with various audio settings can reduce the effect, but no one\u2019s ever been able to solve the problem completely. Until now.\n\n\"\"\n\nThe world\u2019s lowest level of headphone distortion\n<\/strong>THX engineers set out to develop a new low-distortion, low-power amplifier topology. The result? THX AAA\u2122, a headphone amplifier that bests every competing product in the marketplace.\n\nTHX AAA\u2122 uses a patented feed-forward error correction topology to cancel conventional distortion mechanisms. It reduces harmonic, intermodulation, and crossover distortions by 20\u2013100x for an unbelievably realistic and fatigue-free listening experience.\n\nIn our demonstrations, its performance approaches the limits of the world\u2019s best audio analyzer. Check out our video of the demo:\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1bEbzNrC4C8<\/a>\n\nShrink your battery. Shrink your product.\n<\/strong>With the release of the headphone-jack-less iPhone 7, wireless headphones are hotter than ever. That introduces a new factor into the headphone equation: battery life. Product engineers are looking for ways to maximize battery power in their designs. But they need to do it without creating bulky, heavy products that ruin the experience for consumers. Lucky for them, THX AAA\u2122 provides the perfect solution to both problems.\n\n\"\"\n\nTHX AAA\u2122 lowers power consumption by a factor of 10 for incredibly long battery life. How? By dramatically reducing bias currents from 10\u2013100x\u200a\u2014\u200aall without raising distortion. THX AAA\u2122 also operates from a single 3.6V battery in a convenient modular solution that includes power supply. This allows designers to reduce battery size, paving the way for smaller products and providing more headroom for other components.\n\nComing soon\u200a\u2014\u200athe world\u2019s greatest headphones\n<\/strong>Product engineers all over the world are psyched about THX AAA\u2122 amplifiers, and it\u2019s hard to blame them. With the lowest distortion levels on the market, long battery life, and a small form factor, THX AAA\u2122 is set to help designers create headphones that guarantee the highest quality audio experience.\n\n\"\"\n\nAre you a designer thinking about using THX AAA\u2122 amplifiers in your latest product, or a consumer excited about the possibility of virtually distortion-free headphone audio?
