Leave The Noise Behind With Audio-Technica's QuietPoint Active Noise - Cancelling Headphones, By Melody Schubert

Peace and quiet it not what it use to be; today, the rise of noise pollution is overwhelming. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, or taking a short trip across town there's a way to find a bit of solitude - Audio-Technica's QuietPoint active noise-cancelling headphones. Audio-Technica  is renowned worldwide for their excellence in consumer and professional audio products, and now we can enjoy the quality and performance we expect with these QuietPoint active noise-cancelling headphones.

Three models are currently available - the ATH-ANC7b over-ear headphones, ATH-ANC27 over-ear model and ATH-ANC25 on-ear headphones. Designed with a miniature microphone in each ear cup, the technology used by Audio-Technica detects environmental noise, and a corresponding sound-cancelling signal is applied. While I do not understand the technical details, I know from using the Audio-Technica's QuietPoint active noise-cancelling headphones that they work.

Whether traveling aboard a bus, train, plane, or driving around with the family, these portable headphones can be enjoyed wherever you travel. All the head phones can be used with the Apple® iPod®, iPhone™ and iPod touch®, and with portable music and DVD players, laptop computers, in-flight entertainment systems and other devices. They also have a detachable cord, so you can use them as cordless noise-cancelling headphones, and even if the battery runs down, you can still use the headphones to listen to your music on the go.

The cushioned ear pads and an adjustable headband make these headphones comfortable to wear. I personally like the way the headphones are able to fold flat for easy storage in their included durable hard shell carrying cases. Just zip the case and go, and inside there's enough room to place a small MP3 player or other delicate items in the case. All models also come with an airline adapter, plus a 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch adapter, and an AAA battery. So you're ready to pack and go the moment you take these headphones out of the box.
