Product Description
Listening to music through good earphones is really enjoyable. But ambient sounds (environment5al noise) often conflicts with the pleasure and purity of what you're listening. Here's a headphone that makes hearing a pleasure. Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones reduce distracting background noise by 85% while offering superior sound. Engineered to create a comfortable listening environment in areas with high ambient noise, these in-ear headphones feature a miniature microphone in each earpiece that picks up ambient noise. Electronics in the control box create a noise-cancelling wave that is 180-degrees out of phase with the ambient noise. While it acts like a noise eraser, the control box cancels out the annoying sounds that surround you without diminishing the audio you want to hear. Monitor switch deactivates noise cancellation audio Audio functions in passive mode even without battery Sleek control box offers on/off and monitor switches and clothing clip Two-pin airline adapter connects to in-flight entertainment Hard carrying case protects headphones & accessories Y cable includes an adjustable sleeve and extension for secure and comfortable fit A single AAA battery powers noise-cancelling electronics Gold-plated mini-plug provides exceptional corrosion resistance, superb conductivity and low noise Driver Diameter - 12.5 mm Frequency Response - 15 - 22,000 Hz Sensitivity - 104 dB Impedance - 90 ohms QuietPoint Active Noise Reduction - Up to 20 dB AAA (alkaline) Battery - Up to 50 hours, typical (alkaline) Weight - 40 grams (1.4 ounces) with battery

 Awesome earbuds, saved my father's hearing July 29, 2010
Sam
These earbuds are absolutely amazing. They cancel out the majority of background noise, have good sound quality, and won't break the bank.
I've been using them for several months now just about everyday. I wear them on my hour-long bus ride to and from school everyday. They cancel out almost all of the sound from the reving of the engine and the tires on the road, and they really make you realize just how loud an environment is, and what silence really sounds like.
The sound quality is pretty good on them, not spectacular, but still pretty dang good. They're pretty good at what they do, which is sounding good in loud environments, so if you're looking for headphones that sound amazing, go get some that are made for just that and don't have the noise-canceling capability.
The only bad thing about these is the ease of use. They are a little heavy in your ears, and the pack with the battery in it can get in the way sometimes. I would not recommend running or exercising with them, because I think that they might fall out of your ears.
One more thing. I first got these for my dad for his birthday and he liked them so much that I got myself a pair. He works in a loud factory, and listens to music for the majority of his shift on his iPod. Before he had these he used his normal earbuds, and had to blast his music in the loud factory to be able to hear it, hurting his hearing, and it was starting to show. Now he has these and can listen to his music and even podcasts at a more normal volume. These may have just saved my father's hearing.
 Great Performance - Terrible Reliability July 28, 2010
Joe G
I was so happy with the sound and noise cancelling of these, when they quit working after about six months, I purchased a second set. Unfortunately, now the second set has started to just randomly turn on and off. In the middle of a trip to China I purchased a Phillips model for the trip home. It was terrible compared with these. I'm not sure what I am going to do now.
Best gadget I've ever bought July 27, 2010
Louis Almida
I'll make it short: this is the best gadget (considering price vs benefit) I've ever bought in my life. I travel by plane a lot due to my profession, and must admmit that I'm kind of stingy, so price was a great matter, and I was doubtful when I purchased this headphones for I though they were too cheap, but the result superseded my expectations by far.
Noise Cancelling earphones July 24, 2010
Donna Lancaster-Rode (Red Deer, Alberta Canada)
I was looking for a good pair of earphones to use inside my helmet for the motorbike. I have tried several kinds and types, even at top volume, with some earphones I couldn't even identify the song that was playing! Now I can hear a simple voice from a lecture even on the motorbike. I am very pleased with the overall quality of this product, and hope to be able to find them again should I lose them!!!
Good value for price July 15, 2010

-have improved my ability to both sleep and tune out cabin noise on airplane
-smaller than over-the-ear style headphones
-durable: I abandoned the bigger case and just shove them into my bag
-battery lasts a long time
Cons:
-probably not audiophile high-end sound quality
-thin line tangles sometimes
-earbud may loosen over time - I lost one on a airplane
-earbud replacement $5 + $5 shipping
