Audio Technica ATH-ANC23BK-OPEN BOX

Small Package with Big Performance!

Audio Technica is one of those brands that people here and think "quality". Even the United States government agrees. Have you ever heard of "The House of Representatives and Senate"? They too trust Audio Technica, and have even opted to use their equipment. If you had no budget, what would you go for? Is it safe to say ... the BEST? Makes sense, I think most people would agree. Audio Technica has been making all kinds of products from the best of the best, to regular consumer favorites since the very beginning. Established in 1962, Audio Technica was initially known for state-of-the-art phonograph cartridges, but have since evolved just as the music and the way we listen to it has. Audio Technica's QuietPoint ATH-ANC23BK in-ear Noise Cancelling headphones certainly live up to hype, and the pressure that the family name has established. These compact in-ear headphones feature the Audio Technica QuietPoint ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) signature circuitry, with a miniature microphone built into each earbud earpiece. These microphones pick up all of the outside ambient noises, traffic, voices, horns, etc. and internally creates a wave that is 180 degrees out of phase to erase these unwanted noises. The end result is incredible depth, and detailed separation within the distinct highs, mids, and low frequency producing life-like imagery from an ear bud design. The active noise cancelling powered amplifier requires just one "AAA" battery to provide users with up to 60 hours of listening enjoyment, or can be powered off and operate in passive mode to conserve energy. Also equipped with an in-line volume control, the included airline adapter, and a protective travel pouch, the ATH-ANC23BK might just be a travelers dream. An office employees dream. A parents dream, a students dream, a ... you get the idea. Who doesn't want a little more silence in life? Or, the ability to listen to your own stuff without the interruptions of all the noisy surroundings? Don't be fooled by the small package, because the Audio Technica QuietPoint headphones sure do pack a punch full of features and added bonuses.
