Creative Technology Ltd. today announced  a new addition to its range of noise-cancelling personal audio gear – the Creative EP-3NC in-ear earphones. Being a pair of lightweight Active Noise-Cancelling (ANC) earphones with high performance sonic reproduction and extended battery life, the Creative EP-3NC earphones are ideal for busy commuters and travelers who seek peace and solace in increasingly crowded environments by shielding them from annoying ambient noise by up to 90%.

Ernest Sim, Regional Sales Manager for the Indian Subcontinent, Creative said, “The Creative EP-3NC earphones have been designed keeping in mind the needs and convenience of today’s traveler. The earphones are one of the lightest pairs of Active Noise-Cancelling earphones available in the market today and have an added feature that enables the user to keep listening to his/her favorite music or movie in passive mode without Active Noise- Cancellation even after the battery power has run out – an advantage for travelers who find themselves without extra batteries during a trip.”

Tuned Neodymium magnet drivers offer powerful playback for today’s digital music or in-flight entertainment. Combine this with the pristine delivery from high-quality Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) cabling and gold-plated plug, users will find the Creative EP-3NC earphones to be an aural delight, anywhere. Complementing the Creative EP-3NC earphones’ high performance are intuitive features that make them convenient to use. The push-to-hear Monitor button allows users to hear surrounding sounds without the need to remove their earphones. An integrated shirt clip allows the in-line Active Noise-Cancelling unit to be easily attached to clothing.
