Win! One Of 10 Pairs Of Panasonic HC55 Noise Cancelling Headphones
Rattles. Coughs. Sneezes. Other people’s music. PA announcements. Idle conversation. Shouting. The sound of a train speeding along the tracks. Aircraft noise. Your wife. Your girlfriend. The telephone. These are all sounds you avoid having to listen to with a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And Panasonic is giving Giz readers the chance to win one of ten pairs of the HC55 noise cancellers this week.
The HC55s will cancel out 88% of ambient noise which is enough to let you block out most of the annoying sounds that fill our days. They come with three different earpiece sizes, and the stainless steel design will match pretty much anything.
To win a pair worth $149, all you have to do is tell us in 25 words or less in the comments below, “What noise would you most want to cancel out?” Entries close Friday at 5pm.

I’d block out the noise of the truck that’s about to hit me at 100kms an hour.
The night sounds of my roommates, so I can sleep soundly and not have red eyes in the morning.
They would block out the constant sniffling of a certain co-worker every 45 seconds for 9 hour days, 5 days a week. It’s a condition.
Like, I would, like, totally, like, cancel out, like, the totally inane conversations of like, teenage girls, like on the Trams in, like Melbourne…like…
I would like cancel out cabin noise when travelling in aircraft.
I find the noise of the engines add considerably to travel fatigue.
thanks
I would like to cancel the noise of obnoxious peoples headphones, that I can hear clearly even from two metres away, and my boss’ voice!
The noise in the office when I am trying to finish off some work – incl. phones, pigeons on roof, air-con buzzing…
Hmmm let me think… noise I want canceled out… crying babies and the nagging toddlers :)
My top of the list most wanted noise to cancel out would be the screaming noise from badly behaved kids usually happens at Maccas playground.
The office noise around me so i can hear my music clearly!
The never-ending sex of the neighbours next door. Depressing to hear someone older and uglier than me getting more sex than me
Every Saturday night, the two guys upstairs get drunk playing Diana Ross. Then, without fail and with utter clarity, they take turns fisting each other.
I’d like to block out the constant and annoying din of tinnitus. I have to keep turning the volume up to block it out. Grrr
I would cancel out the noise made by THE CHOPPA!
I would want to cancel out the noise of the whizz, hurr, rattle and bang of my computer…
Block out the painful Ack-ack-ack of jack hammers, saws and nail gun thuds of new apartments going up while I try to freaking work!
Noises of the world, to be enthralled in the wonders of the music
hmmmm, then i wont be able hear the wife nag and the kids winge and fight, ahhhh Gizmodo Bliss
Catching the tram with rich private school kids, but being from a poor public school myself, I’d like to block out their wonderful manners, fantastic habits, and superb command of the English language.
Air plane internal noise when you are flying. Though it is small but 100 paper cuts hurt a lot.
The wife, while she *attempts* to play LittleBigPlanet. The screaming is too much for any man.
I would cancel out the sound of the Indian fella who sits next to me, b/c no matter how funny that accent is, 14 hours a day just gets old.
I would block the sound of people asking me to turn down my music because they think its too loud,
overpowering their loud phone conversations.
True story: Someone in the train asked me once to turn down an already halfway turned down volume, because they were annoyed they could not hear themselves talk on the phone. Even though I and everybody else in the train could hear her fine ;).
I just replied: Nah sorry.. Musics too awesome.
The same thing happened to me once. I was listening to something poppy through earphones and the girl behind me asked me to lower the volume. I switched to classical music at half volume and a few minutes later she angrily complained to the bus driver, who angrily complained to me. All in all it was a pretty enjoyable bus trip to Toowoomba…
I’d love a pair to cancel out aircraft noise, especially the screaming babies. I seem to get one of those on every flight >:-|
Hopefully these headphones will block out all the other noise I can still hear with my el-cheapo eBay headphones!
i would cancel out all that Horrible Melbourne Tram noise that stops me from reading the wonderful news that appears on Gizmodo to and from work each day!
Xavier Michelides on Rove last night. That was the longest 3 minutes of my life.
this!
