Active noise cancellation's the secret sauce that keeps us counting sheep even when surrounded by the cacophony of crying babies and the dull roar of jet engines -- though we often find the bulky form factor of those serenity-inducing cans unwieldy. Luckily for us, Pioneer has released its SE-NC31C-K noise-cancellation earbuds that promise to remove 90 percent of ambient noise at the flip of a switch on its AAA battery-powered in-line module -- all for around a hundred bucks, which is a far more palatable price than its sound-suppressing brethren from
Sennheiser ($320) and
Sony ($415). Should you run out of juice, fear not, for you can bypass the noise cancellation features to listen to your tunage as you would with a garden variety set of buds. Given its (relatively) bargain-basement price, we aren't sure how well Pioneer's latest nullifies ambient noise, but there's only one way to find out if they can give
the best headset ever made a run for its money. Should you not share our skepticism, hit the source link and grab a pair for yourself.
Pioneer's SE-NC31C-K noise-cancelling earbuds are cheap, but are they effective? originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 29 Mar 2011 18:11:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
