Audio-Technica's QuietPoint ATH-ANC3 Combines Two Kinds Of Noise Cancelling In One Pair Of Headphones

Audio-Technica released the QuietPoint ATH-ANC3 active noise-cancelling in-ear headphones today. They say that the battery-powered ear buds block out 85% of all outside noise. We don't understand the point. Since in-ear headphones already cancel outside noise by design, some of the technology here is doing double duty. Still, we guess it's some kind of statement of mind-blowing, macho technology, so like... "sweet." See a full product pic after the jump. [Audio-Technica] More »

Cable Wrap; Clever, Good Looking, Mess Cleaning And Single

Unfortunately, like acne on a pubescent teenager's face, wired headphones are still ubiquitous. Also, unless you are a silhouette in an iPod commercial, they look like crap too. Audio-Technica has released a primitive solution called the Cable Wrap. The Cable Wrap consists of a double clip design; one to attach to your lapel or penis and another to get that wired mess in order. Available in five non-offensive colors, the $7.72 asking price is a steal. Given the cool, simple design, we certainly would not mind having it adorn our flabby man-breasts. As soon as we have saved up our wages, we shall be queuing. [Random Good Stuff].

Columino Speakers Float on Air, Empty Your Wallet

They may look like a secret Wii accessory we haven't seen, but these floating bowling pins are actually desktop speakers. They're held up by a thin spine/rod which you can only see from behind to give the illusion that they're floating in air. The speakers shoot audio straight into the circular base, which Audio-Technica says helps spread the sound. Here's the catch, they only deliver 1.7 watts yet cost 200 bones. I don't care how cool these bowling pins look, 1.7 watts does not equal $200. More »

Audio-Technica is releasing its ATH-EQ330 clip-on headphones in Japan this November.

Funky Audio-Technica Headphones

Audio-Technica has announced two odd-looking headphones. The ATH-EC700 and ATH-EC700Ti provide superb sound on a 10Hz-to-24kHz range and 100dB of audio goodness. The only difference between the two is that one is made of aluminum while the other is made of titanium. They have a bit of a stethoscope look, but that's okay because it is cool to be a doctor nowadays. More »
