Thesenoise - cancellingheadphones from Hitachi Maxell are unlike many previous standardized types since they do n’t postulate freestanding baron . Instead they connect to iPods via the dock connection , and can suck on the batteries through there . They do pull off about 20dB of noise canceling with an “ Active Noise Rejection ” system , but the design is peculiarly disabling : they can only connect to iPods ( 4th gen or later ) and iPod touches — not the iPhone . And to draw power this way have in mind you ’ll get abridge iPod bombardment life , which may be as much as 50 % . And the iPod ’s mass control does n’t work , so you have to use the slipper on the earpiece . Weird , but these HP - NC20.IPs are only about $ 80 in Japan , so you may still be tempted . [ AVWatch ]
