                  The ATH-ANC40BT ($200) is Audio-Technica’s latest noise-cancelling in-ear monitor headphone. Like many of the active noise-cancelling headphones we’ve reviewed lately, these promise to reduce up to 90 percent of outside noise. The ANC40BT connects to up to two devices simultaneously using Bluetooth 3.0. We found pairing to be quick and easy. The controls, microphone, and battery reside in two pods connected by a thick cable that rests at the base of your neck. Though the “neckbuds” design looks somewhat awkward, it has its benefits: all the heaviest parts of the device are supported by your shoulders, allowing the ANC40BT to pack a larger battery while keeping the actual headphones exceptionally light. Even if we felt a little goofy wearing a gadget necklace, we appreciate the long battery life and comfortable listening experience.{/exp:char_limit}
