New Noise-Cancelling Headphones from Audio-Technica

Do you have an on-the-go music listener on your holiday gift list this year? If so, Audio-Technica may have the perfect gift - the ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling headphones. These headphones block the noise and distractions of the outside world with 85% noise cancellation so you can enjoy your favorite music.

Perfect for use with portable music and DVD players, laptop computers and in-flight entertainment systems, the ATH-ANC7 headphones feature QuietPoint active noise-cancellation technology that detects environmental noise via miniature microphones in each earpiece, and applies a corresponding sound-cancelling signal to block 85% of outside noise. QuietPoint works no matter where you are…traveling on a plane or out exercising, walking down a crowded street, or anywhere else you want to listen to music.

The ATH-ANC7 delivers the high-resolution audio quality that has made Audio-Technica headphones a favorite with recording engineers and artists. It features large-aperture 40 mm drivers with neodymium magnet systems for deeper bass, accurate midrange and extended treble. Their high sensitivity (the ability to efficiently deliver audio signals) and wide 10-25,000 Hz frequency response let you get the best sound from your music sources. The ATH-ANC7 also works when the noise-cancelling function is turned off, and operates in passive mode without batteries.

The headphones fold flat for storage and come with a detachable cable (with a standard 3.5 mm mini-plug; the cable can be removed for noise-cancelling functionality without audio), a full-size 1/4-inch adapter, an airline adapter for connection to in-flight entertainment systems, and a hard carrying case. $219.95 www.audio-technica.com
