Audio-Technica MSR7NC Noise-Canceling Headphones

Praised by the audiophile community on Head-Fiand Reviewed.com, the Audio-Technica MSR7NC headphones let you focus on your music and forget the world around you. They boast the same great sound as their predecessor, the MSR7, and add active noise cancellation, which can be turned on and off using a switch located on the right ear cup. A miniature microphone in the top of each cup picks up ambient noise that’s then blocked by a sound-canceling signal. Having the mic on top of the housing, rather than on the side, ensures consistent noise cancellation regardless of head movement or wind noise. An acoustic vent on the side of the housing enhances tuning without negatively affecting sound quality. Built with a flexible swivel design and soft memory-foam pads, these headphones come with two cables (one with an inline remote and controls) and a USB charging cable for the battery that powers the active noise cancellation.
