The typical gym rat carries a tiny set of earbuds with them to workout and is satisfied simply to have some entertainment during tough training sessions. Music is a must, right? You need to move and you love some sound to move along to. But we all know and love a “techy nerd” who can’t live without the perfect sound quality and the ultimate equipment which makes every bit of bass boom and every high pitched howl hum. Why are they so finicky? I know – because things like Able Planet’s NC300B headphones exist and quite honestly, before I tried them … I couldn’t figure out what folks like my Dad were so anal about their audio equipment. Now I get it.
The NC300B makes me feel like I’m that long-haired guy in that famous sound-system commercial who’s sitting in the reclining chair while giant speakers blowing the perfect sound at him. I’ve pretended to be him since I received this cool tool, but instead I’ve been roaming around rocking out to the music on my new Android cell phone. I can’t figure out how the music coming from my teeny cell phone can sound so big; I can only think that these headphones must be good. They’re noise cancelers too, which means that they can drown out annoying sounds like those on an airplane, in the mall or wherever else you may be. In fact, my daughter Ginger suggested I wear them while brushing her hair so I can’t hear her whine about it. I plan to take her up on that suggestion, and might even bring them with me if I ever need dental work too.
Even though the NC300B’s are lightweight, I can’t see jogging in them because they surround the ear and may get too sweaty. They’re definitely fine for non-cardio exercise though. If you’re a high-standards type sound guy and you know if you are … check these headphones out. They won’t disappoint. Technical details are below.
