The Audio-Technica QuietPoint ATH-ANC7b headphones sounds better, is more comfortable, and offers better noise cancellation than its predecessor, the ANC7. Unfortunately, this headphone suffers from a couple of problems that may put off users.

The ANC7b was able to eliminate background noises during our long commute to and from our office, as well as provide us with a ?quiet' environment while working. The noise cancelling electronics are fully integrated in each earpiece that folds flat for easy storage. Audio-Technica claims that the headphones are able to reduce background noise for up to 90 per cent.
The unit stores the AAA battery on the right earcup and can last for up to 40 hours. Like its predecessor, users can still continue the unit in passive mode without the battery, although it won't offer any noise cancelling functionality (of course).
Like the ANC7, the ATH-ANC7b comes with a hard zip-up carrying case, two detachable 3.5mm cables, a 6.3mm stereo adapter, and a specialised airline adapter for connecting to in-flight entertainment systems.
