Anyone else have any input on noise canceling?]]>Nov 19th 2008 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/
And they're every bit as "good" as Bose.]]>Nov 20th 2008 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/
For people who want active noise cancelling and can recharge their iPod on a regular basis (ie a daily commute) , the fact that these headphones don't require a separate power source (unlike most [all?] other active noise cancelling headphones), and are presumably more compact because of it, would far outweigh any reduction in battery life.

I wonder if they sound any good.]]>Nov 19th 2008 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/
Though I guess if you really, really want noise cancellation, this is more convenient than carrying around a massive case full 'o Bose, or earbuds with an external battery pack for the noise cancellation bits. Assuming you don't mind the huge battery life hit on your iPod.]]>Nov 19th 2008 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/As your last comment, I always agree with your comment. I have just added Shure SE210-k to my Christmas list after reviewing the topic but BEFORE reading your comment.
Good highly portable headphones are of no use in hi noise environments unless you don't care busting your ears at maximum sound level. This is why I wanted small noise cancelling headphones. Shure noise blocking headphones won't drain battery or add an external block. Many user reviews confirmed that it's good at reducing external noise.]]>Nov 19th 2008 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hitachi-maxell-intros-noise-canceling-battery-draining-ipod-hea/Nov 19th 2008 4:20PM
