Spending more or less $415 for a pair of earphones could be extremely expensive. But if you are a music lover who’s very particular about sound quality while enjoying your favorite music, then you should have a look at the newly released noise-cancelling earphones by Sony Corporation – the MDR-NC300D.

Billed as the “world’s first” digital noise-cancelling earphones, boasting 98.4% noise reduction and an integrated S-Master amplifier, this sure is an interesting step for the company who has led the way for portable noise-cancelling devices.

The MDR-NC300D runs on only one AA battery and offers users about 20 hours of pure non-stop music without the undesired noise. The build quality of this setup is outstanding, and Sony has included six different rubber ear tips for you to choose from for a perfect fit. The earbuds feature a 16mm diameter driver and three separate modes of noise-cancelling – Mode A for aircraft, Mode B for train/bus, and Mode C for Office/Study Room to reduce light chatter and air conditioning noise. There is also an option for enhanced bass or Movie mode. And for those of you with a more technical bent, you’ll be happy to know that the earphones sport a playback of 6Hz ~ 24kHz, a sensitivity of 103dB/mW, and a 16ohm impedence.

This is the ultimate accessory or gift for the frequent business traveller, especially on international flights. With MDR-NC300D’s noise-cancelling feature, users can enjoy superb sound quality without much destructive interference. You can also find other Sony earphones here.
