Sony Set To Launch World’s First Digital Noise Cancelling Earphone MDR-NC300D
Sony is introducing the world’s first digital noise cancelling canal earphone, the MDR-NC300D, later this month. Boasting 98.4% noise reduction, an integrated S-Master amplifier, this sure is an interesting step for the company who has led the way for portable noise canceling. The build quality of this setup is outstanding, and Sony has included six different rubber ear tips for you to choose from for the perfect fit. The earbuds feature a 16mm diameter driver, and three separate modes of noise canceling – Mode A for aircraft, Mode B for train/bus, and Mode C for Office/Study Room to reduce light chatter and air conditioning noise. There is also an option for enhanced bass or Movie mode. This is the ultimate accessory or gift for the frequent business traveler, especially on international flights.
Here’s an introduction movie by Sony Japan:
Buttons found on the unit include Sound Mode, Volume (+ -), Hold, Power, and NC Optimize (allows you to fine-tune noise cancelling). The NC300D equipment runs on AA batteries. Playback frequency 6Hz ~ 24kHz. Sensitivity is 103dB/mW. Impedance is 16Ω.
Removable clip.
The MDR-NC300D will arrive in Japan on June 21st for Y30,975. No word on worldwide availability, but it should be soon. Pictures of the MDR-NC300D courtesy of AV Watch.

Given the size of the module they should have integrated a DAP within.
Oooh, I love these new MDR-NC300D's, shame they're quite expensive like the MDR-NC500D's. You do get what you pay for though.
Est-ce que les nouveaux écouteurs MDR-NC300D seront disponibles sans le système de réduction du bruit, pour une utilisation avec les nouveaux lecteurs Walkman de la série X, (NWZ-X1060 et NWZ-X1050). Celà permettrait d'augmenter de façon considérablement le confort et la qualité d'écoute de ces lecteurs, tout en conservant les avantages de la réduction du bruit offerte sur ces nouveaux appareils? Je possède déjà un lecteur de la série X et je serais très intéressé par un tel produit.
I've bought me a pair of these, two weeks ago in Akihabara, Tokyo. They've cost me 24.800 yen, which is roughly equal to 280 US dollars. I am content with them, even the initially mounted pair of rubber earbuds suite me well. In the field of noise suppression they perform well, although I won't claim it's near 98,4 %. There's one thing I dislike, though. Sony designed them to use only 1,5 V non-rechargeable battery. I wanted to use 1,2 V rechargeable one, but it will not work – it won't even switch on.
