Here at girlgeekchic towers we are loving the new The Blackbox i10 noise cancelling earphones for iPod or iPhone. They use  ANR (Anti Noise Rejection) that works intelligently by measuring the noise field in the ear, before calculating and reintroducing an ‘anti-noise’ response which then cancels out 92% of background noise. In a UK first, it is powered by the iPod/iPhone so batteries are not required unlike some other models out there can have bulky battery packs.

They have great music reproduction with deep base and clear highs and have ergonomically designed ear buds to provide maximum comfort. They connect easily to Apple’s 30 pin dock connector, come with a leather carrying case and have an integrated volume control and monitoring function.
