JVC announced the HA-NC250 noise canceling headphones. A new top-end model that combines outstanding sound quality along with advanced noise canceling and isolation technologies. The HA-NC250 headphones will be able to fold flat when not in use, they will include a carrying case and a 4-foot detachable cord, airline dual plug adapter and a 1/4-inch plug adapter. They will be powered by one 1.5-volt AAA battery and are expected to get about 50 hours of battery life.

The HA-NC250’s noise cancellation circuitry includes feedback technology that constantly monitors the noise cancellation process. As a result, the headphones eliminate up to 85 percent of extraneous background noise. To further block noise, the HA-NC250 offers two JVC innovations that help isolate the listener from outside sounds. First, each earpiece employs a double housing structure for an extra sound insulation layer. Second, JVC developed a new technique for attaching the headphone’s smooth memory foam cushioned ear pads to the housing that helps isolate background noise. The smooth pads also enhance comfort. These sound isolation features, for which patents have been applied, are especially important since the HA-NC250 can be used with the active noise cancellation switched off.

The JVC HA-NC250 will be available in early August and retail for $199.95.
