Microphones in the headphones detect ambient noise that is interfering with your music. Information from the microphone is fed to the audio enhancer pack where it is analyzed and a precise active noise cancellation wave is generated. When this “anti-noise” wave meets the unwanted noise, the noise is reduced up to 95% so your music comes through loud and clear.Maxell’s HP-NC1 portable headphones are equipped with Noisebuster, a patented noise-reduction technology that really works, making the HP-

Depends on the type of noise,
These headphones were disappointing. I bought them to use in a computer room that has a refrigerator size disk drive and an even larger AC unit. These headphones do a excellent job of reducing the low-frequency noise but most of the high frequency stuff comes right through. As a result the noise reduction for me was about 20 – 30% of the total. I also tried them with a leaf blower and had the same results. They do seem to work well at taking out low rumbling humming noises like you would find in air travel but not for anything that has high pitched fan noise like AC units or vacuums.

|Well worth the cost if you travel,
I had been considering purchasing noise-cancelling headphones for some time. When I saw these for such a low price, I chose to order. I’m glad I did.
The headphones are permanently attached to a small belt-clip unit about the size of a pack of baseball cards. The unit has an on-off switch (for the cancelling part) and a volume control. A 3′ cord ending in a standard 1/8″ stereo plug comes out the bottom of the pack.
The phones have fantastic (but not brilliant) response. They are designed as part of the N/C system and so have their best output at about 150Hz–which is fantastic not only for rock and pop but classical as well. When you turn on the N/C, the sound is damped in the higher frequencies, which really makes everything much clearer. Just don’t use “Super Bass” on your CD player because the sound will get muddy. Without it, though, I was able to delight in classicalon a recent plane flight without any distractions–which brings me to the N/C aspect of these headphones.
The noise cancelling is centered around 150Hz, which is the pitch of most plane engines but works quite well for cars and buses too. On my last plane flight, I turned the noise cancelling on as soon as we took off. It removed the engine noise so well that I started to get annoyed by the half-volume air-conditioning noise that it let through. By the time I turned them off, I really had forgotten how much they were blocking the engine noise and was surprised how loud it was.
The box says that it will run for about 22 hours on a pair of AAs, but I’ve had it running for over 30 hours without problems. It *will* run on rechargeables, but I strongly recommend NiMH if you choose to do so.
Overall recommendation: A high-quality set of phones, especially considering the price for N/C headphones. I recommend them for any frequent traveler.

|Nice execution for the money,
We bought these to soothe our nerves during flying. I found that they function very well as headphones. The noise cancellation circuitry adds a very low level white noise that can only be heard in silent passages in silent environments, but the circuit can be switched off and the headphones function as any unpowered phones do. Sound reproduction is excellent, the noise cancellation works mainly in the lower octaves (rumble and roaring noises) which is where you need the help when traveling. Higher frequency noises like voices are only slightly attenuated. This may be a design strategy which makes sense, but is also likely much simpler (cheaper) to do than full-bandwidth attenuation. Very helpful for our intended purpose.
