A good quality set of active noise cancellation headphones does two things well.  They deliver a rich, full spectrum of quality sound to the listener while, simultaneously, deleting most or all outside noise from impinging upon your listening experience.  Some are definitely better at doing this than others.  The Denon AH-NC732 on ear headphones are pretty darn good at both jobs.

Lets have a look at the features of the Denon AH-NC732:

• 95+% noise cancelling capability
• Lightweight, compact and collapsible
• 40 hours of use on a single AAA battery
• iPhone and iTouch compatible without the use of adaptors
• Attractive, molded case conveniently holds the folded phones as well as the two cables, dual airline adaptor plug and 1/4 inch headphone adaptor plug (all included)
• Easy to use on/off noise cancelling mode switch
• Well-fitting, light, attractive design
• Very comfortable to wear even for long time use

If you would like to buy the Denon AH-NC732, I recommend you get it from Amazon because they are the cheapest online.

Because the sound quality of these Denon headphones is so rich and clear, you may opt to use them for everyday use, not just when traveling.  They’re perfectly suited for use without the active noise cancelling feature enabled and this can be affected by the simple flip of a switch.

Conversely, some may elect to wear these phones without listening to any sounds at all.  By slipping them on and enabling the active noise cancellation feature you can be plunged into total silence.  They’re good for relaxing and can be great to use when meditating.  Sometimes silence really IS golden!

The Good:

• Very lightweight and comfortable
• Very effective passive and active noise cancellation abilities
• Uses only one AAA battery, good for 40 hours
• Can be used with or without noise canceling function being activated
• Can be used to provide silence without plugging into a sound source
• Good overall sound, clear and well balanced

The Bad:

• Warranty may not be honored internationally.  Needed warranty work may need to be done in the country in which they were purchased
• Expensive.  While listed by the manufacturer at about $300, you should be able to get a better deal than that on these noise reduction headphones

If you’ve not had the opportunity to use good noise cancelling headphones on a long airplane flight you’re missing out.  They can make a big difference in one’s flying experience.  The Denon AH-NC732 noise cancellation system may be worth a listen.  You’ll like what you hear (and don’t hear)!
