Audio Technica\u2019s
\nATH-ANC1 QuietPoint headphones offer music and silence lovers alike a
\nconvenient way to get the best of both worlds. The headphones are perfect for
\nthose who want to concentrate on a great music sound without the disturbance of
\nexternal noise. As promised, Audio Technica has made a great addition to the
\nseries with the ATH-ANC1, blocking out 85% of outside noise in a compact and
\ncomfortable design to match. <\/span><\/p>\n

The headband is
\nequipped with twin, 1.7inch earpieces covered by a thin leather material. It
\ndoesn\u2019t look like much but has surprising comfort as it fits to form around
\nyour ears. The headband itself is comprised of flexible metal with an
\nadditional black plastic for cover. The great thing about these headphones is
\ntheir ability to collapse into its self. Don\u2019t be worried the lack of a
\nsomewhat sturdy design is what gives them their compact and portable feature.
\nThey seamlessly collapse to about the length of an adult hand, making storage
\nin your bag a lot easier. Similar products to these on the market may have
\ngreat capabilities similar to these, but lack that compact design. The whole
\nidea of an MP3 player is their ability to hold thousands of music and media
\ninto a slim and sleek unit. If you decide on a bulky pair of headphones you may
\nas well walk around with an old Walkman cassette or CD player instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main feature of the
\nheadphones, the active noise-canceling, is controlled by a simple to use
\nmodule on the cord connecting it your media device. The module is equipped with
\nan on\/off switch to eliminate the ambient noise, and a clip for your belt, waste
\nband, etc. The whole unit is powered by an included 1 AAA battery, but similar
\nto other headphones, you can still listen to your music even after battery
\nexhaustion. If you don\u2019t care to use or your battery runs out, they can be used
\nlike any other headphone. However, it was evident of the level of rich music
\nwhen the noise-cancelling was enabled. There was a fairly big difference as far
\nas the bass was concerned, and an overall improvement. Honestly, I am always
\npessimistic when it comes to combining two opposite ends of the spectrum, sound
\nand silence. I would otherwise say you may as well invest in a decent pair of
\nheadphones one for music and the other noise-cancelling. But there did not seem
\nto be much sacrifice on either end, so when it comes to price, these are very
\neconomical. Unfortunately, there still was a little sacrifice. The headphones
\nrequired\u00a0 rather high amplitude when the
\nnoise-canceling was enabled. I found myself turning up the volume on my device
\nto nearly full to seek the power I wanted. <\/span><\/p>\n

Like
\nI said, these headphones are very economical and definitely worth the price.
\nThey are relatively new to the market and I expect are going to do well. <\/span><\/p>\n
