Bose? What’s Bose?

Who needs a new innovative product in their life? Or even better, how about an affordable one? Able Planet’s True Fidelity NC300W is something to talk about.  This is the latest noise canceling pair of headphones released by Able Planet. If you’d like to read a quick review, here it goes…it’s a must have.

What’s so good about them? Here are a few words that describe the headphones: Sleek, Immaculate, and Futuristic. When you open the box and unzip the case, your eyes become instantly drawn to the appealing look.  It’s a bit futuristic. If there was a new season of the Jetsons, George Jetson and the family would be wearing them. But seriously, these headphones look hot.  The design makes this noise canceling headphone look a lot more savvy, fashionable, and professional. Comparative to many other headphones available that lack in fashion sense.

Other than being fashionable, they fit comfortably and are not bulky. They cover the ears fully with a soft cushion.  The top of the headphones are also comfortably padded. The ear cushions and the top cushion are the only parts of the headphone that physically touch your head.  This simple design technique adds a great deal of comfort.

The sound quality is what really creates the worthiness though. Able Planet boasts an innovative patented technology called LINX AUDIO. This technology does a few nice things:

• Enhances sound quality
• Improves speech clarity
• Filters undesirable sound
• Reduces distortion
• Restricts electromagnetic interference
• Increases perceived loudness without increasing volume

These advantages and more on how LYNX AUDIO works can be found here.

One advantage that Able Planet forgot to list is the increased relaxation. While listening to music, the sound quality, bass and clarity is intensified.  Furthermore, as I increased the volume, instead of the music becoming distorted, the quality did not change. After using the headphones on a high volume, I did not have a headache, which is not the case when using regular iPod headphones on a high volume.

Here is where Able Planets’s True Fidelity Headphones become important. Besides the fact, they are three times less than that of Bose’s popular QuietComfort 15, these noise canceling headphones are a crucial component to the life of a business individual. A business individual can be an entrepreneur, entertainer, employee, etc. Crucial times necessary for these are those in the office, at the airport, or at home. It is often extremely difficult to stay focused at these places. Many people have given up trying to do work at airports and on planes. Here is some math to put this all in perspective. Let’s say you have a flight from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. You would probably get to the airport two hours before departing and the flight itself is about six hours. That is about 8 hours that could be spent working of the computer. That is close to a normal day of work. If you just want a break from work, use the headphones to fall asleep. These headphones are a great way to help you get to sleep, without the need for earplugs (My sleep remedy was some Beatles with the headphones on). The relaxation and stress relief process is extremely necessary and using the headphones is an excellent way to go about the process. As I was using these it was easy to concentrate and think. My mind opened up.

In essence, if you are involved in any form of business, these headphones are a great investment.  Always be focused as the noise canceling headphones keep your brain from wandering. Although the best experience is gotten out of these through listening to music, the truth is, these headphones significantly eliminate distracting sounds altogether.

What else is included?

• Protective Case
• 1/4″ home stereo adapter
• Double-pronged airplane adapter
• 1 AAA Battery

Here’s the conclusion. Able Planet has received a slew of awards at CES since 2007.  It will be appearing at CES 2010 and will likely win some sort of other award. With this in mind, the product speaks for itself. These $99 noise canceling headphones are definitely worth the money. If a complete package is what you are into, then Able Planet’s True Fidelity NC300W is right for you.
