We don’t consider ourselves dyed-in-the-wool audiophiles, but we do tend to look askance at audio hardware that adds to, subtracts from, or otherwise monkeys with what a recording artist intended for us to hear. We’ve made the occasional exception—praising Creative’s X-Fi Crystalizer technology, for instance—but we welcome “features” like active noise cancellation about as warmly as an oncoming bout of jock itch. As you’re probably aware, active noise cancellation produces white noise to mask steady background noise, such as the thrum of a jet engine or the drone from your PC’s power supply and cooling fans. The active noise cancellation in Able Planet’s True Fidelity NC300B headphones was very effective at masking the noise of our desktop rig, but there’s no way to prevent it from also masking some of the frequencies in the music we listened to. And that renders its promise of delivering “true fidelity” more than a little hollow. Able Planet uses a circumaural design, with bulky ear cups that encircle your pinna and vinyl-wrapped foam pads that rest on your skull. The cups themselves are quite deep, reminding us of the muffs an aircraft carrier’s flight-deck crew wear.
With the explosion of iPods and other portable media players in recent years, the variety of headphones on the market has increased substantially too. Earbuds are pretty popular right now, but they don't really immerse you in the music. It's still easy to hear ambient sounds around you which can be distracting. To become really absorbed into your music, especially when there is unwanted noise present (like an airplane engine for example), it's worth it to check out a pair of active noise canceling headphones like the ones I'm going to review today. Able Planet's entry level NC300B headphones feature patented Linx Audio technology and come with all the accessories needed to listen to your favorite music or audio books both on the road and at home. But how is the sound quality, and are they comfortable to wear for long periods of time? I'm about to find out. Able Planet and its award-wining LINX AUDIO are changing the lives of millions of people worldwide, one customer at a time. Able Planet is developing an extensive line of audio and communications products that are usable by people with all levels of hearing, and provide a means whereby users can listen at lower volumes without compromising full rich sound.
