THX’s headphone certification process uses multiple headphone measurement fixtures and specialized microphones to characterize and validate headphone performance. By utilizing AAA in Panda, the headphones can deliver maximum output power for greater dynamic range and SPL, while still reducing distortion and maximizing battery life.
The new Panda ‘phones feature some key THX patented technology, including Achromatic Audio Amplifier (AAA), said to be the world’s most linear amplifier technology capable of producing infinitesimally low levels of noise, distortion and power consumption. But the company is back at CES and has several new technologies, including the launch of Drop + THX Panda, the first audiophile wireless headphone to receive the THX badge. However, the certification became diluted over the years as THX seemed to start certifying products and systems well outside of their key areas, and the THX badge seemed to nearly become extinct. For years, the THX logo on a product meant you were buying something that was a cut above the rest, with the company’s demanding certification process guaranteeing that a component met a certain performance level criterion that ensured buyers they were getting the goods, especially when it came to home theater electronics or speakers.
