Headphone News

As well as the HP-NC18, Maxell have also announced a full-size set of noise-canceling headphones, the HP-NC22.

Anyone with even a passing interest in headphones will see the similarities between the HP-NC22 and Bose’s all conquering Quiet Comfort headphones but Bose’s dominance hasn’t stopped Pioneer, JVC and a host of others attempting to crack the market.

Anyway, the HP-NC22 have a similar spec to their smaller brother which includes promising 90% noise reduction and 40 hours of noise cancelation on a single set of AAA batteries.

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.
