The actual research paper shows it's pure nonsense

As expected ANC headphones cancel less noise at low frequencies so I guess the 780Hz is a trade off between high enough frequency to be a bell and low enough frequency to get attenuated a little bit less than high frequencies.

The research paper is pretty poor quality and this is mainly a marketing exercise.
