Listening to music through good earphones is really enjoyable. But ambient sounds (environment5al noise) often conflicts with the pleasure and purity of what you're listening. Here's a headphone that makes hearing a pleasure. Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones reduce distracting background noise by 85% while offering superior sound. Engineered to create a comfortable listening environment in areas with high ambient noise, these in-ear headphones feature a miniature microphone in each earpiece that picks up ambient noise. Electronics in the control box create a noise-cancelling wave that is 180-degrees out of phase with the ambient noise. While it acts like a noise eraser, the control box cancels out the annoying sounds that surround you without diminishing the audio you want to hear. Monitor switch deactivates noise cancellation audio Audio functions in passive mode even without battery Sleek control box offers on/off and monitor switches and clothing clip Two-pin airline adapter connects to in-flight entertainment Hard carrying case protects headphones & accessories Y cable includes an adjustable sleeve and extension for secure and comfortable fit A single AAA battery powers noise-cancelling electronics Gold-plated mini-plug provides exceptional corrosion resistance, superb conductivity and low noise Driver Diameter - 12.5 mm Frequency Response - 15 - 22,000 Hz Sensitivity - 104 dB Impedance - 90 ohms QuietPoint Active Noise Reduction - Up to 20 dB AAA (alkaline) Battery - Up to 50 hours, typical (alkaline) Weight - 40 grams (1.4 ounces) with battery

 Great for the money!!! September 8, 2010
mad_crabber
Was looking for a set of earbuds that would allow me to cut the grass and play my radio at anything but eardrum splitting volumes. ANC3BK bought for $50. Sound quality very good. Good definition and present bottom end (but not overbearing bass...may not be enough for those of you who insist upon mega bass) Am now listening at half the volume and actually understanding the program material! Cuts lawn mower noise at least 80-85%. When I take walks I can choose not to use the noise cancellation feature and be more aware of my surroundings. Case and accessories top notch. Very pleased. Good value.
 Decent product September 1, 2010
"Try"athlete
The noise-cancelling was lacking as was the comfort and returned the product. Also, the cord is awkward. Some cons: The battery compartment is heavy and the lower half of the cord is too short (it does come with an extension).
 No volume control. August 28, 2010

This unit has no volume control; it is either on or off. The case is convenient and there is a monitor button, as advertised, but it has no in-unit way to attenuate the sound coming through the earbuds.
Very good product, great value. August 17, 2010

I have to say that after listening to over the head headphones 80% of the time, it is quite hard to find a comparable ear-bud sound and even harder to rate it. In all honesty I would rate these 4.25 stars, but then again, these are ear-buds and even tho we've come a long way in terms of portable media sound, I will have to be realistic about it. So, 5 stars it is.
SOUND QUALITY:
Good crisp highs and nice balanced lows. The mids: even tho are present, are not as clear and prominent as over the ear headphones will provide. Still, excellent for the latest technology.
The lows are very well balanced, at least for my prolonged listening. Any bass-ier and my head would start hurting after a while. well balanced, something I can really enjoy on the plane and fall asleep to.
The highs are nice and crisp, I suggest to turn on the noise canceling to make them even crisper. It is a subtle difference but it is a difference for even better quality.
NOISE CANCELING:
In comparison to over the the ear headphones these are not as advanced. They do cancel noise nicely but there are some minor drawbacks when not listening to music. They still retain 'hissing' noise on idle use. This is a comparison by good over the ear noise canceling headphones. Yet still while listening to music in these ear-buds all of the drawbacks of noise canceling disappear and noise canceling is great.
COMFORT:
Comfort is a very personal review. Everyone has a very different ear.
They fit in comfortably. It took me about a minute to figure out how to properly fit them in. Insert... up... and over... until properly adjusted. Once in, They will not fall out on their own, or after slight tugging.
Personal note: while resting your head on the side and putting all the weight and pressure on the ear, these headphones might not feel comforting. Light pressure is OK but anything heavy and you'll find yourself starting to feel uncomfortable. This is again a very personal review.
The battery pack thing on the cord is very annoying, yet, very necessary. Since most over the ear headphones have it, I realize it is necessary to have a powered noise canceling source, so I don't mind it as much since most over the ear headphones have it.
ACCESSORIES:
I really, really, appreciate the way this company accommodates the needs of a user. Everything they provide is a great and necessary accommodation. As seen in the product overview, the best accessory is the headphone case, great quality too.
OVERALL:
I have to say this product is great. The sound is fantastic for an ear-bud headphones. The price and quality is unbelievable. I would recommend it for anyone.
I also own a pair of ATHANC7 and I think that the sound and quality of these headphones is the best of the market for the price. This would be another review tho.
Audio Technica Saved my hearing August 12, 2010
Randy Bolinger (Fort Wayne, IN United States)
I have a 3 acre lawn. Mowing takes a few hours each week. I loaded my iTouch with my favorite tunes, put in the earbuds that came with it and started to mow. I had to crank the volume to 100% which caused audio distortion and I still couldn't hear the music over the mower. I knew that cranking the music that loud to overcome the mower sound level wasn't doing my hearing any good. I went back to my foam earplugs and no tunes.
I knew about noise canceling headphones but wearing headphones on a hot summer day didn't sound appealing. When I heard about noise canceling earbuds priced in the $50 range Audio-Technica ATH ANC3BK NoiseCancel Earphone BK!, I knew I had to give it try. What an amazing difference. When I'm mowing and turn the noise canceling on, the mower sound is reduced to a soft purr. Now I use my iTouch at abot 50% volume with great sound and clairity. I'm hooked. I've started to use them at work to block out the sound of the ventilation system. I didn't realize that the background noise level at work was so high. I'm glad I tried them out and highly recommend using them.
