Engadget introduces us to JVC's HA-NC250 noise canceling headphones.

At US$199.95 they need to be good. After all it is possible to make your own noise-canceling headphones for a quarter the price.

Why would you want to pay nearly $200 when you can make your own at such a reasonable price?

However, we must say about the JVC headphones they are light and do feature an 85% noise reduction - that is - background noise. Handy to have in a plane to drown out all the sounds of a plane in-flight.
