Sony MDR-NC500D Headphone

Sony, one of the world's largest manufacturer of audio devices, has released the world’s first digital noise canceling headphones - the Sony MDR-NC500D. Headphone is touted to drown out or eliminate an outstanding 99% of ambient noise while bathing you in supreme hi-fi sound. Now that's cool!

What makes it so special, is that its the first headphone to use digital technology with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve noise cancellation performance while ensuring optimum audio quality. This is done by letting the powerful processor inside the MDR-NC500D to automatically adapt the cancellation profile to suit the characteristics of ambient noise.

This is all good. However, what scares me is that it is too good. Imagine cancelling all the noises around you, while you're crossing the street, or driving down the lane. Won't you be more susceptible to accidents especially since you can't hear anything? Well, I still believe that this device is great, but I suggest using it in the comfort og your own homes.
