JVC today announced its first in-ear noise canceling headphones, the HA-NCX77. JVC’s new headphones cancel up to 80 percent (more than 14dB at 120Hz) of the background noise, with additional isolation provided by a unique new design that provides a secure fit and so helps seal out ambient sound. The contoured canal design features an earpiece that’s slightly angled, allowing a natural and secure fit that provides maximum sound isolation. Also because of the superb ambient noise seal, precise acoustic coupling to the eardrum can be employed, thereby lowering the volume required to achieve the full sonic impact. For conversation or listening to announcements, sound can be muted using a switch on the power supply, which uses a single AAA battery. Battery life is approximately 70 hours.
A dual plug adapter for use on commercial aircraft and a soft case are both included. The new JVC HA-NCX77 Noise Canceling Headphones are currently available at a suggested retail price of $79.95.
