When it comes to noise-canceling headphones there are the very-pricey-but-effective Bose Quiet Comfort models, then there are the cheaper-but-not-as-good models from everyone else.

JVC may be ready to challenge Bose with its new HP-NC80s.  With a dynamic range of 10Hz to 22kHz, they promise a reduction in ambient noise by as much as 75 percent, while appearing to be reasonably lightweight and comfortable to wear.  And probably more comfortable to pay for - expected to be less than $100. 

But final pricing and availability are still up in the air.  Most likely, these cans will be canceling noise for listeners in Japan first.
