Maxell HP-NC18 Noise Canceling Earphones

Maxell, probably better known for their video tapes (remember them?) have grown their headphone range with the announcement of the HP-NC18 earphones.

These in-ear ‘phones promise to cancel out an unbelievable 90% of external noise using a combination of their in-ear canal design plus powered noise cancelation technology. The earbuds are powered by AAA batteries to give around 40 hours of noise-cancelation although the images don’t make it clear where the batteries are stored.

At the moment, these headphones are only likely to be available in Japan though they could still see a release around the world.
