Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones

The Sony H.ear Headphones Were Released at CES 2016

Debuted at CES 2016, the Sony H.ear headphones are a wireless device that provide quality sound while also eliminating additional noise.

While wireless headphones are quite popular at CES, the Sony H.ear is a high-res audio accessory with noise-cancelling tech that analyzes the wearer's surroundings to determine which mode works best for them. Even at a medium volume level, wearers will not notice any background noise. Users of these headphones have the option to turn this feature off and enjoy the Sony H.ear as regular headphones for safety reasons. In addition to noise cancellation, these headphones provide a mix of clarity with a solid dose of bass that most headphones are designed without.

In terms of external design, the Sony H.ear headphones are extremely comfortable. The earpads are nicely cushioned and the headband does not cause the cans to pinch the wearers head.
