Sound System
Until the TTC outlaws crying babies and asshole teenagers on the subway, Sony MDR NC500D Digital Noise-Cancelling Headphones help you escape auditory hell without having to blast through your eardrums with the volume knob. These full-size cans use a digital equalizer and software engine to analyze the sounds heading to your ear, then cut out the ambient noise.
