• Ahhhh... here's your chance to find inner peace...
   
  With a pair of the world's first digital noise cancelling headphones from Sony.
   
• Imagine ...
   
  Now you can enjoy your favourite music in absolute serenity because your noise cancelling headphones will shut out the engine noise of your private jet, that droning commuter across the aisle... or even that overly familiar chauffeur of yours.
   
• Sony suggests you can even wear them at work to reduce distracting sounds.   Gone are those 'fun' ring-tones on your colleagues' mobile phones, ... not to mention the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the board room..

• In fact, Sony reckons that these new MDR-NC500 headphones cut an incredible 99% of ambient noise while bathing you in supreme hi-fi sound.
   
• How do they do it?  Well, they're the first ever headphones to use digital technology with Artificial Intelligence (AI)  - this improves noise cancellation performance while ensuring optimum audio quality.
   
• Apparently there's a powerful processor inside them that automatically adapts the cancellation profile to suit the characteristics of ambient noise.  In normal use, pushing the 'AI Mode' button makes the headphones select automatically from three cancellation modes to suit the surroundings - whether on an aircraft, a bus or train, or in the office.

•  Alternatively, if you press down and hold the 'mode' switch you can manually select the cancellation profile that's most effective in the particular environment you're in. 
   
  And there's a monitor switch to provide temporary listening to external sounds like cabin announcements.
   
• With a generous 15 hours operation between charges of the supplied lithium ion battery, the MDR-NC500D shuts out distracting noise for the longest continental flight, train journey or sales meeting. 
   
  But if you need that little extra, the headset can also operate on AA batteries if you don't have a charging point handy.
   
• So take a break from the hubbub and brouhaha ...

... bid here and slip on this postively magical head-gear from Sony.
