Maxell Noise Cancellation Headphones electronically cancel up to 95% of irritating background noise so you can enjoy peace and quiet. It also works with your portable music player for better audio quality with reduced distortion. Use it on an airplane to reduce engine noise and enhance the sounds of in-flight entertainment (dual-prong airline adapter included). Also great for use while using exercise equipment, commuting on the bus or train, and while mowing the lawn or doing other noisy chores.
Microphones in the headphone detect ambient noise in your environment that is interfering with your music. Information from the microphones is fed to the audio enhancer pack where it is analyzed and a precise active noise cancellation wave is generated. When this "anti-noise" wave meets the unwanted noise, the noise is reduced and your music comes through loud and clear.
Comfortable, lightweight and easy to adjust, Maxell N-C Headphones can be used on their own for simple peace and quiet or in conjunction with a portable audio device for excellent music clarity. An on/off switch on the cord enables digital-ready stereo audio play-through with or without background noise reduction. 2 "AAA" batteries (not included) provide over 50 hours of noise cancellation function.
Maxell Lightweight Noise Cancellation Headphones are collapsible and fold up easily and quickly to fit in their convenient drawstring travel pouches. Your choice of on-ear or closed-ear styles. The on-ear style (shown at top left) is lighter and smaller than the around-ear style (shown at top right), which has the advantage of more sound isolation and slightly better frequency response than the on-ear style.
