Can’t hear yourself think? When you’re bored, you’d do anything to get rid of it, but other times — usually traveling — you long for the quiet of boredom. A crying baby on a plane, loud hotel neighbors or “surprise” city noises you weren’t expecting … sometimes you want peace and quiet so badly, it makes you want to scream!
Silence is golden, but it doesn’t have to cost the price of gold. If you don’t want to shell out $300-plus dollars on the best noise-canceling technology, the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7B Noise-Cancelling Headphones are the ideal mix of affordability and functionality.
Selling for around $125, these headphones have been described as the “Poor Man’s Bose,” which sounds a lot better with an extra $150 in your pocket. The QuietPoint technology reduces environmental noise by 90 percent, wherever you are. Moreover, this model has been designed for travel; it’s lightweight, but heavy duty, and it folds flat for easy packing. The electronics are fully integrated, too, so there are no external pieces required. All that, and it plays music, too!
As if sleeping weren’t hard enough with jet lag, find your peace and quiet as simply as flipping a switch. Learn more about the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7B headphones at Audio-Technica.com.
