70% Noise Cancelling

Smart noise cancelling technology enhances the pleasure of listening to lower volume levels in noisy environments. It's particularly good at removing low frequencies like jet engine noise, so you can enjoy soft music on flights and in trains and similar places without hearing a distracting buzz in the background. The technology actually creates an equal but opposite waveform to the unwanted noise that effectively cancels it out.

Create a perfect seal
A perfect seal between your ear and headphone will significantly reduce unwanted background noise. With their superb noise isolating characteristics, these headphones not only block out irritating background noise but also deliver superb sound quality at low volume settings.

Neckstrap wearing style
For the most convenient neckstrap wearing style, simply loop the cable over your head and hang the control box around your neck. The integrated cable slide provides added support.

For optimal fit in all ears
With a choice of three interchangeable ear caps from size small to large, surely there is a pair that fits your ear perfectly.

Aircraft adaptor included
Use your own headphones to listen to in-flight entertainment. The adapter simply converts the standard double-mono jacks to a stereo headphone jack.

Audio jack adapter included
With this adapter, you can use your headphone on equipment with either 3.5 or 6.35 mm jacks, giving you a wider choice of audio devices.

1.2 metre cable
The ideal cable length to give you the freedom to put your audio device where you want.

    Model shown is SHN2500. A search turned up a few reviews where some reviewers were not kind to it.

    I do not think active noise cancellation and in ear headphones would work well together.

    Active noise cancellation works by making noises "opposite" to the noises around you so the result is you hear neither the original noise or the opposite noise. You need to be able to hear the original noises for active cancellation to work.

    In ear headphones block out noise through their design and because they sit in your ear like an earplug.
    As the headphones will be blocking noise like earplugs you will not be hearing much of the noise around you however the headphones will still be making an "opposite" noise. If you are unable to hear the original sound then all you will hear are the "opposite" sounds.

      Sorry to disappoint you but I have a pair of Panasonic noise-cancelling earphones which work very well. The sampling microphone for generating the anti-phase signal is on the outside of the earplug.

      You only have to generate enough anti-phase signal to cancel what sound "leaks" in.

        I've also got a Sony pair of in ear noise-cancelling earphones and I wouldn't go on a trip without them, they're brilliant.

        My mate has a pair of Bose over ear noise-cancelling headphones and they are even better but at a huge price.

        Sorry to disappoint you

        Why would i be dissapointed?

        The sampling microphone for generating the anti-phase signal is on the outside of the earplug.

        That is obvious.

        You only have to generate enough anti-phase signal to cancel what sound “leaks” in.

        Yes that is correct however the headphones do not know how much sound is leaking into your ear.

        If you have a very good seal and very little sound is leaking in you will hear the out of phase sounds, if you have a poor seal and lots of sound is leaking in then the out of phase sound will cancel the sounds which are leaking in.

          Nonetheless it works well in practice, so the Panasonic engineers must have done a good job in working out how much anti-phase signal to generate.

  • Fiep on 17/02/2011 - 10:35

    I have one of those. It is okay to use when flying, but not for anything else. In a lot of cases, the static sound it generates when "noise canceling" is actually louder than the background noises that you are trying to cancel. The earphone itself is a bit ugly and poorly designed. Compared mine with my friends' Sony MDR-NC33, the Sony one is just miles ahead and definitely worth the extra cost.

    I guess you get what you pay for, it is okay for cutting down the engine noise when flying, so might be good to use as an earplug.

    Do these work on girlfriends?

      If it works you might not hear her walking out. :)

      • tsunamisurfer on 17/02/2011 - 18:15

        You have a point. I'll stick with ear plugs.

  • Make it so on 17/02/2011 - 11:53

    I have one of these. They work well on planes. You can actually hear your music or movie without really noticing any noise.

    • sonicentropy on 17/02/2011 - 23:33

      that isnt my experience with mine, it does dull the noise but its still there and still noticeable.
