Audio Technica ATH-ANC1 QuietPoint ANC1 headphone review

Frequent travelers have a special challenge when it's time to pick out headphones. Search 'phones with a travel-friendly design but also are comfortable and offer great sound with a certain ability to stop the noise can be difficult. Well, on a budget of $ 100 and can add, forget all these features in one package ... or maybe not. Audio-Technica ATH-ANC1 QuietPoint ANC1 can have an MSRP of $ 130, but can be found online for $ 100, and cover all the considerations before.

Headphones Audio-Technica QuietPoint ATH-ANC1 are clearly designed for travelers: it is one of the most compact models in the ear, we know. Adjustable metal tape is very thin and black with a soft plastic material. You might think that the lack of padding on the tape, the bulk material is possible to eliminate the uncomfortable, it is surprising that this is not the case. While not providing the maximum comfort, the headphones are not too tight and are very light. In addition, compact headphones also impressive 1.7 inches in diameter, filled with a soft synthetic leather. The only possible drawback is that the band would not be stopped.
In the fall of each earpiece is a soft thick black cable, the combination of a base in a Y-junction, which is thick and strong. Follow-inch cable to the HUD-NC1 another 21 and you get the noise reduction module integrated. We say we're very happy with the performance of this function, because it is well positioned to cut the pocket or belt, unlike his shirt. Another cable, which measures an additional 10 "and ends with a line of gold-plated plug, is used to connect an audio device.
In addition to the noise reduction function - the case of a very simple with a battery on / off and integrated clip - Audio-Technica has some other accessories in the box. The ATH-ANC1 comes with one AAA battery, to the extent of 20 inches, an airplane adapter with two leaves and a soft case against two RV. You can also turn the headset with or without noise reduction. Not bad, considering the convenience of the road.
Even if the function is activated ATH-ANC1 very well without the noise, the sound is a bit boring 'is not found and when to play this way, but the fact is that even a decent sound without the battery. However, throw the switch makes a big difference. The music is both deeper, richer and more open. Kicky down without being intrusive, and the midrange was very warm and butter of quality we want. The high notes are amazing in detail, due to lower prices, if it is not clear enough for some listeners.
to block the ability of the ATH-ANC1, the noise, we have plenty. We try to see in a crowded bar and I'm glad a significant reduction in the endless talk about us. Moreover, these phones are not the most efficient we tested, we had to test MP3 players posted almost all classes, we want to maintain the volume, and we know not to listen to music at high level. So if you like their music is strong, is not satisfactory for you. But in general we were impressed by the level of available audio and ATH-ANC1 balance and we believe are good for those who enjoy a variety of musical genres.
