The Denon AH-NC800 headphones feature solid aluminum housing with dual noise-canceling technology to reduce ambient noise by about 99%, which gives you a higher level of quiet for your music enjoyment. These are priced at 48,000 Yen (or about $542).

The AH-NC800 supports Denon’s audio-enhancing Compressed Audio Restoror technology, which restores musical nuances and subtleties, again for a higher level of sound quality. Some other features include high-quality 40mm drivers, OFC cables with a gold-plated plug connector and a carrying case.

One of the most often replaced items in our gadget collection is earbuds. You use a pair for a while and they bite the dust. So when it came time for another pair, I recently gave ifrogz Ear Pollution Plugz earbuds with microphone a try. They are affordable noise canceling earbuds, available in a variety of colors, and they offer some decent style.

They look great and have style. They are also comfortable and if you are like me and have trouble getting earbuds to fit and stay in the ear, they come with three tip sizes that should fit any ear. They feel great and actually block out almost all but the loudest noises around you.

Pioneer has a brand new set of headphones with SRS surround technology. The Pioneer SE-NC70S headphones also feature Noise Canceling Technology which is said to suppress 1/5 of the surrounding sound (300Hz – 15dB). Perfect to block out the nagging wife or that barking dog next door.

They weigh in at just 200grams, so they are likely comfortable too. These Pioneer SE-NC70S headphones will also deliver a 103dB output with a 20Hz to 20kHz reproduction bandwidth. The Pioneer SE-NC70S will be available at the end of September in Japan.
