Noise-cancelling headphones have one job to do: eliminate as much background noise as they can to give users the best audio experience possible. Audio-Technica?s Quietpoint ATH-ANC3 seems small for a noise-cancelling headphone, but will size have an effect on its overall performance? The SmartHouse team jacks in to find out.

Last year, Audio-Technica's first noise-cancelling headphone, the Quietpoint ATH-ANC7, obtained a 4.5 rating because of its sound quality, effective noise-cancelling, and attractive price point. The new ATH-ANC3 Quietpoint headphones is smaller and promises to deliver exceptionally pure audio signal and an active noise cancelling function that cancels 85 percent of background noise at a very attractive price.

Besides the main in-ear headphones with control box, Audio-Technica has included a detachable .5 metre cable with gold-plated 3.5mm stereo mini plug and jack, a gold-plated airline adapter, replaceable rubber tips, one AAA battery, and a protective carrying case. The headphones come in either black or white, with a microphone in each earpiece for the noise-cancelling function.
