Audio-Technica debuts noise cancelling headphones under $100

When most of us want to listen to our favorite music or watch a movie, we want to hear the audio not the noise in the room around us. This is particularly true for the user that travels a lot in a car, plane, or train where things can be noisy. Noise cancelling headphones are also a great way to block out noisy spouses and kids so you can get some work done. Audio-Technica has unveiled two new sets of noise cancelling headphones.

The new offerings include the ATH-ANC27 and the ATH-ANC25. The ANC27 set claims to block up to 85% of the noise in the room around you and the ANC25 version will block up to 80% of the noise. Both headphones use active noise cancellation and use high-efficiency drivers inside. Both of the headphone models are compatible with the iPhone and iPods as well as computers and in-flight entertainment systems.

You can also turn off the noise-cancellation feature and the headphones will still work. They come with a ¼" adapter, airline adapter and the AAA battery for the noise cancellation tech. The ANC27 headphones are $99.95 and the ANC25 are $79.95 making these some of the cheapest active noise cancellation headphones around.
