Cheap Headphones cut out noise?

From USA TODAY Budget headphones cut out the noise Travelers and commuters face a challenge when trying to find peace and quiet with their music, as low rumblings of engines or crying babies drown out their tunes. While noise canceling headphones can ease the pain, they'll often set you back a bit with their high price. The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC27x (MSRP $99.95) headphones provide an entry-level step for consumers on-the-go who don't want to shell out $300. One of the best things about the ATH-ANC27x is that they function as both active noise cancelers and as traditional headphones. The left ear cup is where you'll find the "On/Off" switch for the noise cancellation, which requires a single AAA battery. There's no need to turn on the noise canceling or even insert a battery if you're in a quiet environment. Even better, the detachable cable means you can use the ANC27x as just sound mufflers, without being tethered by the cable. http://usat.ly/1bvVORo Get USA TODAY on your mobile device: http://www.usatoday.com/mobile-apps
