At CES 2013 Audio-Technica is expanding its QuietPoint active noise-cancelling (ANC) headphones lineup with the introduction of its ATH-ANC29 over-ear and ATH-ANC33iS in-ear headphones with communications capabilities. Both models join the company’s current ANC offerings including the top-of-the-line ATH-ANC9, which has won a CES Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering Award. The ATH-ANC29 (SRP: US$99.95) is a stylish new addition to the QuietPoint family. It features redesigned earcups and a bold Audio-Technica logo for a sleek, contemporary look, and a restyled headband with extra padding for a snug yet totally comfortable fit. The ATH-ANC29 provides up to 87% noise-cancellation and offers an outstanding combination of performance, value, comfort and portability. It delivers exceptional sound with powerful bass, a natural midrange, detailed treble and precise imaging in an immersive soundfield. The ATH-ANC29 has a detachable cord, enabling its use as cordless noise-cancelling headphones, and like all QuietPoint models, its audio functions even if the batteries run down. In addition to its detachable 3.9' (1.2 m) cord, the ATH-ANC29 comes with a soft case, 1/4-inch plug adapter, airline adapter and AAA battery. The in-ear ATH-ANC33iS (SRP: US$79.95) offers up to 90% noise-cancellation and features volume control with an inline mic/control for answering calls and controlling music. The ATH-ANC33iS supports smartphones and iPhone™, iPad® and many iPod® models. The controller enables the user to play or pause music, answer and end calls, and go to the next or previous track. The ATH-ANC33iS comes with Comply Foam™ Tips for unmatched comfort. The Comply ear tips are made out of special memory foam that expands to fit comfortably in the ear canal, for a more sound isolating fit and superior sound quality with better bass response, a detailed midrange and extended treble. The headphones also come with standard silicone eartips in S, M and L, a soft carrying case, an airline adapter and an AAA battery. The ATH-ANC29 and ATH-ANC33iS will be available in April 2013.
