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.
